The Retrospective Analysis of Antarctic Tracking Data (RAATD) is a SCAR project, also endorsed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). It is an effort of the SCAR Expert Groups on Birds and Marine Mammals and Antarctic Biodiversity Informatics.
This repository will contain code and other goodies from the project.
- the availability R package provides functions for estimating the geographic range available to animals, based on recorded tracks
