Lecture & Discussion Section Materials

Week # Lecture Data Discussion Data Notes
1 penguins data from {palmerpenguins} Fracking data (copy available on Google Drive) Fracking data were originally downloaded as a zip file from FracFocus in November 2023. Since then, FracFocus has published a cleaner version of these data, which defeats some of this purpose of this exercise. As such, we’ll be working with this saved version of the data, rather than downloading directly from FracFocus’s data download page. Also see associated metadata
2 Mohawk Reef temperatures (download directly from EDI data portal; copy available on Google Drive) & Lyme disease cases (downloaded from CDC, find more data/info on the Lyme Disease Surveillance Data page; copy available on Google Drive) US Drought Monitor data (TidyTuesday data, see 2021-07-20; copy available on Google Drive)
3 No lecture No data needed for discussion section this week
4 Women in the Workforce (TidyTuesday data, see 2019-03-05; copy available on Google Drive) & Stream chemistry data (download from DataOne using {metajam}; copy available on Google Drive) US Drought Monitor data (TidyTuesday data, see 2021-07-20; copy available on Google Drive)

If so, download and unzip the folder from Google Drive, then use my_geo_data <- sf::st_read(here::here("file", "path", "to", "tl-us-counties-2023", "tl-county-2023.shp")) to read in the Shapefile
10 Bigfoot sightings (TidyTuesday data, see 2022-09-13 (copy available on Google Drive) & Women in the Workforce (TidyTuesday data, see 2019-03-05; copy available on Google Drive) No data needed for discussion section this week
