A 🧵on air quality and COVID transmission risk. I have a CO2 monitor - it shows me how recycled and stuffy the air is and an idea of how risky my location is for breathing in COVID from other people. Masks are not mandated inside now, so let's see what common areas are like...

We’ve updated the NCEAS SDM methods comparison (Elith et al 2006)! Want to know the new winners and losers under modern implementations of these methods and find how RFs, SVMs & ensembles fare? Paper with @GGuillera, @jj_lahoz & @JaneElith @ESAMonographs doi.org/10.1002/ecm.1486

Map of predicted relative likelihood of occurrence for the species “nz30” in the NZ dataset. The top-left figure shows the occurrence data used for fitting the models. The colored histogram to the left of each map shows the distribution of predicted values on all grid cells and the transparent grey histogram on top of it, demonstrates the distribution of predicted values on presence points (from testing data)

I'd always struggled with choosing the right projection for my maps. Then I discovered projectionwizard.org/. Drag a region, set the desired distortion property (equal area, equidistant), and it spits out the right projection, even with the PROJ string. Beautiful! 🙂🙃
