Hi everyone,
Our second session of 2021/22 is focused on climate and will be on October 20th, join us from 5.30pm online! As usual, the meeting is open for all to attend, and newcomers / beginners are especially welcome.
In order to join us, please register with MeetUp. We’re using a chat group for EdinbR, come and catch up with the community on Matrix.

Marjan van de Weg is the senior data consultant at Changeworks, a Scottish environmental NGO that is helping Scotland to become more energy efficient and switch to low carbon heating. She used R in her previous academic work and at Changeworks she leads the data analysis on projects for local authorities.
How Oceanographers use R to detect the impact of Climate Change
Amieroh Abrahams
Bakun (1990) hypothesized that an increase in greenhouse gases will result in considerable changes of global wind patterns and ultimately affect oceanic processes. Is this true? Join me and explore how R was used to test this hypothesis. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2021.626411
Using R at an environmental NGO
Marjan van de Weg
In her talk, Marjan will discuss how and when her data team uses R for the projects, such as local heat and energy efficiency strategies (LHEES) and the monitoring and evaluation of energy efficiency and low carbon heating. Marjan will also discuss the specifics of using R in a non-specialist (NGO) context.
