This is processing code for the clumped isotope (\Delta_{47}) measurements made with the Thermo Fisher MAT 253 plus isotope ratio mass spectrometer with the Kiel IV automatic line, located in the Vening-Meineszbuilding B, for the Stratigraphy and Paleontology group at Earth Sciences, UU.
Using the R-package [[https://wlandau.github.io/targets-manual/][targets]], we can run only those parts of the code that need to be updated. The basic structure is we first load the necessary libraries, then we define functions that do most of the work, and then a workflow of targets with function calls that ~targets~ analyses for inter-dependencies.
The workflow is deployed by [[https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/faculty-of-geosciences/about-the-faculty/organisation/faculty-office][GEO-ICT]] and runs on a Windows Virtual Machine that is located close to the rawdata drive of the Geolab.
This VM can read in the rawdata directly and synchronizes the metadata file and final output to the Clumped Isotope Teams OneDrive.
To run the code, log in to the VM, start RStudio and run ~targets::tar_make()~ from the command line.
We use the [[https://www.r-project.org/][R programming language]] >4.1.0 (because we use the native pipe ~|>~ operator every now and then).
The required R packages for this workflow are:
See also the file [[file:R/install_packages.R]].
A user guide on how to run the workflow, can be previewed [[https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UtrechtUniversity/clumped-processing/main/running_clumped-processing.nb.html][here]].
A set of inspection plots (that do not get updated automatically!) can be viewed[[https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UtrechtUniversity/clumped-processing/main/inspecting_clumped-processing.nb.html][here]].
