Join us for two talks showcasing some of the applications of what you can do with R!
### Amieroh Abrahams: "Detecting marine heatwaves (MHWs) by using R-programming"
Over the past three decades, anthropologically mediated warming has negatively affected marine and terrestrial ecosystems. This has ultimately resulted in major consequences for humanity and natural ecological functioning. Climate change is generally understood as the long-term rise in global mean surface temperatures. Recent studies have shown an increase in the frequency of extreme events. Extreme warming events such as marine heatwaves (MHW) are defined as a discrete prolonged anomalously warm water event. Here I will demonstrate the various R packages produced and utilized by South African scientists (heatwaveR and RmarineHeatWaves) to detect these extreme events.
