raventools v1.0

raventools: A package to facilitate raven management in the western U.S. The raventools package centralizes several publicly available geospatial datasets that are essential to mapping and modeling for common raven (Corvus corax) management applications, including raven occurrence and density data, sensitive species distribution data, raven subsidy data, and Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus uroph

Code to analyze multi-state, multi-scale dynamic occupancy models for amphibians in Yosemite National Park

The purpose of this study was to evaluate how extreme variation in precipitation in the Sierra Nevada of California, USA, in the early 21st Century affected adult occupancy and the probability of reproduction of amphibians. The study used a 15-year data set to relate site characteristics to initial probability of occurrence of adults, and additional site-specific and dynamic (e.g., weather) variab

Code to analyze survival data for Giant gatersnakes, Thamnophis gigas in Sacramento County, California from 2018 to 2021

The purpose of this study was to estimate the survival of giant gartersnakes (Thamnophis gigas) prior to and following translocation, as well as to evaluate the use of captive rearing as a conservation tool for giant gartersnakes. We used Kaplan-Meier and Cox Proportional Hazards models to estimate survival rates and estimate the effects of group identity (marsh donor, rice donor, and translocatio

EGRET

An R-package for the analysis of long-term changes in water quality and streamflow, including the water-quality method Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season (WRTDS).

aqtsra, Utilities for preprocessing raw and approved unit-value time-series hydrometeorological data before statistical endeavors

The aqtsra package in the R language provides a light-weight utility for merging U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System (NWIS) flat-file tables of raw and approved unit-value time-series data from the AQUARIUS Time-Series software. Provision is made for parsing time stamps, insertion of the day fraction into the year, and days since last site visit among other limited data-inspec

sciencebasepy: A Python library for programmatic interaction with the USGS ScienceBase platform

This Python module provides functionality for interacting with the USGS ScienceBase platform: https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/ ScienceBase is a Trusted Digital Repository (TDR) in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The platform is developed and maintained by the USGS to provide shared, permission-controlled access to scientific data products and bureau resources. Rather than serving merely as

Special Contributing Area Loading Program

Special Contributing Area Loading Program (SCALP) is a hydrologic routing program that uses a linear-reservoir-in-series routing method. Inputs to SCALP include a user input file and runoff depth time series. The outputs of SCALP are outflow time series and a user log file. The user input file is a text file, and the runoff depth time series are contained in a Hydrologic Engineering Center Data St

Joint Ecosystem Modeling (JEM) NetCDF R Package

R-language code library to support netCDF I/O. This package was written to ease the process of reading and writing netcdfs in R for the Joint Ecosystem Modeling (JEM; https://jem.gov/) community. NetCDF files created using this package follow the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) data standards to facilitate data sharing among scientists in the Everglades area.

Inferring pathogen presence when sample misclassification and partial observation occur

This software contains four separate R scripts and one Matlab script that comprise an analysis to estimate the posterior probability of pathogen presence when sample misclassification and partial observations occur. We develop a Bayesian hierarchal framework that accommodates false negative, false positive, and uncertain detections and apply this framework to a case study of the fungal pathogen Ps

Code for Assimilating ecological theory with empiricism: Using constrained generalized additive models to enhance survival analyses

Code will be submitted to the Dryad repository upon acceptance of the manuscript. These R code are used for simulations and case studies. Simulations include data for generating age-period survival data. We have provided code for each of the 10 models that were fit using NIMBLE, where each model has four R scripts including: 1) A script to execute and run all the additional R scripts for each simu

Code for Rapid prototyping for quantifying belief weights of competing hypotheses about emergent diseases

Code submitted to Journal of Environmental Management and ScienceBase for running Bayesian hierarchical models on a dataset that was collected using expert elicitation of a panel of 15 experts on the etiology of stony coral tissue loss disease and its impacts on coral reefs. The code is for a rapid prototyping method for quantifying belief weights for competing hypotheses about the etiology of dis

Toolbox for River Velocimetry using Images from Aircraft (TRiVIA)

# TRiVIA Toolbox for River Velocimetry using Images from Aircraft: TRiVIA ## Description The Toolbox for River Velocimetry using Images from Aircraft, or TRiVIA for short, is an application to facilitate estimation of surface flow velocities in river channels from various types of remotely sensed data acquired with a nadir-viewing geometry (i.e., looking straight down).
