whitebox - 'WhiteboxTools' R Frontend

An R frontend for the 'WhiteboxTools' library, which is an advanced geospatial data analysis platform developed by Prof. John Lindsay at the University of Guelph's Geomorphometry and Hydrogeomatics Research Group. 'WhiteboxTools' can be used to perform common geographical information systems (GIS) analysis operations, such as cost-distance analysis, distance buffering, and raster reclassification. Remote sensing and image processing tasks include image enhancement (e.g. panchromatic sharpening, contrast adjustments), image mosaicing, numerous filtering operations, simple classification (k-means), and common image transformations. 'WhiteboxTools' also contains advanced tooling for spatial hydrological analysis (e.g. flow-accumulation, watershed delineation, stream network analysis, sink removal), terrain analysis (e.g. common terrain indices such as slope, curvatures, wetness index, hillshading; hypsometric analysis; multi-scale topographic position analysis), and LiDAR data processing. Suggested citation: Lindsay (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.cageo.2016.07.003>.

SoilTaxonomy - A System of Soil Classification for Making and Interpreting Soil Surveys

Taxonomic dictionaries, formative element lists, and functions related to the maintenance, development and application of U.S. Soil Taxonomy. Data and functionality are based on official U.S. Department of Agriculture sources including the latest edition of the Keys to Soil Taxonomy. Descriptions and metadata are obtained from the National Soil Information System or Soil Survey Geographic databases. Other sources are referenced in the data documentation. Provides tools for understanding and interacting with concepts in the U.S. Soil Taxonomic System. Most of the current utilities are for working with taxonomic concepts at the "higher" taxonomic levels: Order, Suborder, Great Group, and Subgroup.

rgeedim - Search, Composite, and Download 'Google Earth Engine' Imagery with the 'Python' Module 'geedim'

Search, composite, and download 'Google Earth Engine' imagery with 'reticulate' bindings for the 'Python' module 'geedim' by Dugal Harris. Read the 'geedim' documentation here: <https://geedim.readthedocs.io/>. Wrapper functions are provided to make it more convenient to use 'geedim' to download images larger than the 'Google Earth Engine' size limit <https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/apidocs/ee-image-getdownloadurl>. By default the "High Volume" API endpoint <https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/cloud/highvolume> is used to download data and this URL can be customized during initialization of the package.

jNSMR - Interface to the 'Java Newhall Simulation Model' (jNSM) "A Traditional Soil Climate Simulation Model"

Provides methods to create input, read output, and run the routines from the legacy Java Newhall Simulation Model (jNSM) for soil climate. Currently this package uses a modified version of the jNSM v1.6.1 which is available for download here: <https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/?cid=nrcs142p2_053559> and the source code found here <https://github.com/drww/newhall/>. The system requirements of the extraction and installation tools (Windows .EXE archive) at the official download link may not be met on your system but the core Java class files are stored in a platform-independent format (a Java JAR file; e.g. newhall-1.6.1.jar) which is a core dependency in this package. Several more recent modifications to the Newhall JAR file allow for higher throughput and more efficient batching of many simulations allowing for larger-than-memory raster-based inputs and outputs.

rosettaPTF - R Frontend for Rosetta Pedotransfer Functions

Access Python rosetta-soil pedotransfer functions in an R environment. Rosetta is a neural network-based model for predicting unsaturated soil hydraulic parameters from basic soil characterization data. The model predicts parameters for the van Genuchten unsaturated soil hydraulic properties model, using sand, silt, and clay, bulk density and water content. The codebase is now maintained by Dr. Todd Skaggs and other U.S. Department of Agriculture employees. This R package is intended to provide for use cases that involve many thousands of calls to the pedotransfer function. Less demanding use cases are encouraged to use the web interface or API endpoint. There are additional wrappers of the API endpoints provided by the soilDB R package `ROSETTA()` method.
