Appendix B — Data and resources
This page contains links to the data we’re using in our training, and a sample of a few useful resources online and in print. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it provides resources for continued learning. All of these examples provide code in some shape or form.
B.1 Datasets
This is a list of the data sources used in this training. We’ll download these files directly from the source during the first lesson, but they are provided here as backup.
- Full Dataset as a zipped folder. Inside you’ll find these files:
- Station metadata: metadat.csv
- Water quality data: wqdat.csv
- Water level data 1: wldat1.csv
- Water level data 2: wldat2.csv
- All R scripts used in the lessons as a zipped folder. Inside you’ll find these files:
