planktonr is an r package that facilitates the download, analysis and visualisation of phytoplankton and zooplankton data. Our initial focus will be on plankton data stored on the Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN) and collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS), but we hope to expand to other plankton data sets in the future.

Installation

Be aware that this package is in the very early stages of development. Functions and documentation are not complete so installing at the moment is at your own risk. If you are still interested, you can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("PlanktonTeam/planktonr")

Thanks to the team at the Integration and Application Network (ian.umces.edu/media-library) for the plankton symbols used in the planktonr hex sticker.
