NJ TalingtingHello #rstats and #rspatial world! ๐
Iโm NJ, an R developer focusing on archipelagic spatial econometrics. Iโve just released the #ArchipelagoEngine on CRAN to address the "Continental Fallacy" in geographic models, using my home country of the Philippine as case study. ๐
Excited to connect with folks working on spatial bias, open science, and FOSS!

๐๐๐๐๐โ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐Been doing some #rspatial work for a while. 3 times a year for 4yrs as the data updates. Usually only get a brief thank you email each time. Today I found out exactly how important my output was with an example of how it was being used by a non-geospatial person to argue her case. Thrilled.
Attention #RSpatial community: NAD83 โ NSRS and ETRS89 updates are hitting PROJ/GDAL/etc., potentially affecting sf, terra, gdalraster, vapour.
Roger Bivand is seeking feedback on his talk proposal.
Details:
Hugh GrahamGetting very into a5 right now, its such a clever geospatial index when you get into it! A bunch of new functions have landed in {a5R} including new traversal functions and paired cell distance calculation. https://belian-earth.github.io/a5R/articles/traversal-and-distance.html #rspatial #rstats
New patches algorithm in the terra R package (implemented by Andrew Brown)
Faster performance and designed to work with large rasters
Eric R. ScottVery cool example of spatial GAMs by @drxeo.eu on bsky (not bridged, as far as I can tell):
๐๐ค New update on the PRISM project: spatial ML validation, model errors, improving R packages (incl. supercells), and contributing to open geocomputation resources.
Have you used the CAST R package?
Weโre running a short survey on use cases, challenges, and feature needs.
Your input will guide CAST priorities during developer days in Mar 2026.

Nicola RennieOne of my recent experimental projects has been combining maps with photography!
Made entirely in #RStats with a few tricky things:
โก๏ธ Mapping images to a *good* transparency range to allow both map and image to show at the same time
๐ Auto-cropping to a *good* aspect ratio (both map and photo have different, fixed ratios)
๐บ๏ธ Choosing a background map that isn't overpowering
(Blog post coming soon!)
