This repository includes course content (slides, Rmd scripts) associated with a weeklong course that covers species distribution modeling, programming in R, and an introduction to GitHub. The course is associated with Clubes de Ciencia and will run during summer 2022. See their website for more info about volunteering as an instructor or signing up as a student.
In this GitHub repsoitory, you'll find all of the code that we use throughout this course. This quickest way to access the code files (also called "scripts") is to click the green code button above and then click download ZIP. This will download the contents of our entire repository. After that, you can open each of the .Rmd files using Rstudio.
If you need to download Rstudio on your computer you can visit their website: https://www.rstudio.com/
