H3_indicators

Notebooks and documentation about computing biodiversity indicators from the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) snapshots (periodic full exports of the OBIS database) on H3 grids.

💾 Source data

The data sourced for this effort comes from the publicly available OBIS snapshots, which can be found at https://api.obis.org/export.

❓ What's in this repo?

• GIS4Ocean_h3_indicators.Rmd -
  • downloads the most recent snapshot,
  • clips the data to US Waters as identified in the shapefiles.
  • grids the data to a determined H3 grid resolution,
  • computes various indicators using the obisindicators R package,
  • saves the results to .geojson files in the data/ directory.
• read_and_plot_geojson_heatmap.ipynb
  • takes the resultant .geojson files and saves them as html interactive maps

Manually, the .html interactive maps are then served via GitHub Pages in the gh-pages branch. To view the interactive maps, browse to https://noaa-gis4ocean.github.io/H3_indicators/.

Testing GH-Actions currently.
