Wrangling Earth System Model Outputs in R for Marine Ecologists

R is undoubtedly the programming language of choice for many marine ecologists. However, navigating the complexities of downloading, processing and wrangling gridded oceanographic data within R can represent a steep learning curve. As the impacts of climate variability and change on our oceans become increasingly evident, the ability to efficiently interact with, and use, Earth System Model (ESM) outputs for our research is more critical than ever. Here, we will walk through core skills needed to be proficient in creating projections of physical variables from ESM outputs, with the goal of using them for marine ecological applications. Specifically, we’ll be creating projections of sea-surface temperature out to 2100, across one climate scenario, for the California Current region.

This event will be held on Wednesday, February 18 from 5:30 - 7:00 PST and will be virtual! A zoom link and the workshop materials will be provided closer to the event to folks who RSVP. RSVPs will close at noon the day of the event.
