Underwater Power and Telecomunication Cables
In this month’s blog post, I map the underwater cable network of the German North Sea using open data from EMODnet. With R, I explore and visualize both telecommunication and power cables.
Oil and Gas Offshore Installations
In this month’s blog post, we'll explore oil and gas infrastructure in the German North Sea, by using EMODnet geospatial data to map offshore installations and pipelines, as well as focusing on a site near the ecologically sensitive Borkum Reef, revealing why recently proposed projects there have sparked environmental concern.
Offshore Wind Farms
This blog post demonstrates how to visualize offshore wind farm data in the German North Sea using R. It covers data download, exploration, mapping with ggplot2, and calculating areas developed before 2016.
Shipping traffic
In this blog post, I demonstrate how to visualize shipping traffic data using R. The tutorial covers downloading the dataset from EMODnet, performing exploratory data analysis, and creating a map using ggplot2.
Light pollution
In this month's post, I’ll show you how to create a map using radiance data, often associated with light pollution, collected by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS).
Sea surface temperature
In this blog post, I walk you through the process of visualizing sea surface temperature in R. From downloading the dataset to reading it and creating a map using ggplot.
Fishing effort
In this blog post, I walk you through the process of visualizing Global Fishing Watch data in R, covering from downloading the dataset to reading it and creating a map using ggplot.
Distance to coast
In this blog post, I share a step-by-step guide on how to use raster data from distance to the coast. I walk you through the steps I used using the North German Sea as an example.
Bathymetry
Here are the steps I used for creating a bathymetric map in R. From where to download bathymetric data to how to read it and plot it in R.
