GeoPressureManual

The GeoPressureManual is a great place to start learning about how to use GeoPressureR, the R package which helps researchers construct the trajectory of a bird equipped with an atmospheric pressure sensor.

Using the examples of a Swainson's Warbler and a Great Reed Warbler, this user guide will take you through each step of the analysis in detail.

Build the book

This project uses Quarto. From the project root, render the book with:

quarto::quarto_render()

Or from a terminal:

quarto render

The rendered site is written to docs/ (see _quarto.yml).

Start your own study

Once you are familiar with the overall workflow of geolocation by pressure and are ready to analyse your own data, the GeoPressureTemplate provides an ideal starting project, with standard folder structure, default configuration and analysis file and much more.
