In EDUCE-UBC/educer: A Collection of Tutorials on Using R in Data Science

We will work with real-world data collected as part of an ongoing oceanographic time series program in Saanich Inlet, a seasonally anoxic fjord on the East coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia:

The figure shows a map of Saanich Inlet indicating conventional sample collection stations (S1-S9). The data used in this tutorial (sourced from S3) include various geochemical measurements at many depths in Saanich Inlet. Samples were taken approximately monthly from 2006 to 2014, though there is much missing data to contend with.

For more details about these data, see Hallam SJ et al. 2017. Sci Data 4: 170158 "Monitoring microbial responses to ocean deoxygenation in a model oxygen minimum zone". More detailed information on the environmental context and time series data can be found in Torres-Beltrán M et al. 2017. Sci Data 4: 170159. "A compendium of geochemical information from the Saanich Inlet water column".
