quaker-package: Clean, plot and map NOAA earthquake data.
In jrwalker-projects/quaker: clean, plot and map NOAA earthquake data

the quaker package provides a set of functions to clean and prepare U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) earthquake data, plot a timeline of earthquakes or map earthquake locations.

that might be of interest from quaker include
eq_clean_data to clean and prepare the NOAA data after it has been read from the website
geom_timeline to plot earthquake activity over time
geom_timeline_label to annotate a geom_timeline plot with labels
eq_map to map earthquake locations

the package includes quakes a small data frame of earthquake data for quick sample use of the functions
Please refer to the vignette for more information.

The NOAA earthquake database https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/nndc/struts/form?t=101650&s=1&d=1 and the data defintions can be found at https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/nndc/struts/results?&t=101650&s=225&d=225

The approach used for cleaning and plotting data is that of the R tidyverse - more on this topic can be found at https://www.tidyverse.org/ where useful aspects might be dplyr for pipelines and data manipulation and ggplot2 for charts - including the ggplot2 extension geoms included in this package.

The mapping functions are based on the R package leaflet. More on this remarkable mapping tool can be found at https://rstudio.github.io/leaflet/
