Overview

About

Maintained by Tristan BlechingerFirst published 2025-04-153 releasesCRAN page ↗GitLab ↗

Offers bathymetric interpolation using Inverse Distance Weighted and Ordinary Kriging via the 'gstat' and 'terra' packages. Other functions focus on quantifying physical aquatic habitats (e.g., littoral, epliminion, metalimnion, hypolimnion) from interpolated digital elevation models (DEMs). Functions were designed to calculate these metrics across water levels for use in reservoirs but can be applied to any DEM and will provide values for fixed conditions. Parameters like Secchi disk depth or estimated photic zone, thermocline depth, and water level fluctuation depth are included in most functions.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("rLakeHabitat", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-rlakehabitat

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-rLakeHabitat

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-rLakeHabitat

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
