Description

Climate data has coordinates, but also powerful stories hiding in plain sight. In this talk, I’ll show the reasons why I feel in love with the R package {sf} while covering climate change in the Amazon as a freelance journalist. Every Last Drop is a project about oil exploration in the Amazon that showcases that spatial analysis doesn't need to be complicated. Just a handful of core functions and a few essential concepts make geospatial analysis surprisingly simple, even for users who are starting their R journey.
