useR! 2026 call for abstracts is open
Hoping to see many contributions on spatial data analysis in R!
Would you like to create a world map in globe-like view? There is a script that creates a nice map in a simple way using R (sf, ggplot2) and administrative boundaries from Natural Earth (rnaturalearth).
