Global lake area, climate, and population dataset
A global dataset containing lake and reservoir surface area, basin-level temperature, precipitation, and population data.
A global dataset containing lake and reservoir surface area, basin-level temperature, precipitation, and population data.
A workshop lesson covering workflow management with drake
and a brief introduction to functions in R.
A collection of links to blog posts I’ve written for Washington State University’s R Working Group.
I wrote a short Shiny app to simulate some game mechanics in Dungeons and Dragons in order to visualize and quantify how probability affects game outcomes.
