I'll be presenting to @BES_Palaeo shortly on using R for making maps. I'll make the slides and full R code available on my blog later, for those that can't attend.

Pleased to say our latest research paper has just been published, examining environment and climate change for the last 1000 years in the Marrakech #HighAtlas using pollen analysis. The paper is available #OpenAccess and you can check it out here: link.springer.com/article/10…

Using pollen, NPP, and micro-charcoal analysis, we explore the the changes in the environment, which we link to climate, and snow-pack dynamics. As well as exploring the role of humans, and how they influenced the record, through pastoral activity and land-management practices.
