We all know it’s that sticky, uncomfortable feeling on a hot summer day, or the reason your hair goes haywire. But humidity, or more precisely, relative humidity (RH), is way more than just a weather
Efficient Flow Routing in R: Harnessing DEM Data for Accurate Earth Science and GIS Applications
Hiking & ActivitiesFlow Routing in R: Making Water Flow Uphill (Figuratively!) with DEM Data Digital Elevation Models, or DEMs as we call them, have become absolutely essential for anyone working in earth science or GIS. Think of them as the foundation upon which we build all sorts of analyses, from figuring out where water goes to planning
