brick	an object of class RasterBrick
measures	a character vector indicating how variables should be summarized (allows mean, min, max, and sum)
timeframe	a character vector indicating the time over which variables should be summarized (allows annual, winter, spring, summer, fall, or wateryear)
writefile	logical; if TRUE, saves a .csv file to the users' machine
