EMMA workflow overview

The EMMA workflow consists of four modules, each with a separate Github repo:

1. The Environmental Data module (https://github.com/AdamWilsonLab/emma_envdata)

2. The Modelling and Change Detection module (https://github.com/AdamWilsonLab/emma_model)

3. The Change Classification module (https://github.com/AdamWilsonLab/emma_change_classification)

4. The Reporting module (https://github.com/AdamWilsonLab/emma_report)

Data

The data used by this workflow are stored in multiple locations. Weather data are stored via releases. NDVI, NDWI, and fire history data are pulled from releases in our emma_envdata Github repo.

Releases

• GSOD contains weather data from the Global Surface Summary of the Day, which are extracted using GSODR. The file "gsod_stations" contains metadata on the stations within the focal domain, and the other files contain data for each weather station in the area. Files are in Apache Arrow format.

• NOAA contains weather data from Integrated Surface Database, which are extracted using rnoaa. The file "noaa_stations" contains metadata on the stations within the focal domain, and the other files contain data for each weather station in the area. Files are in Apache Arrow format.

Changelog

• May 14, 2024
  • Added a new section to the README to describe the data used by the workflow and where it is stored. Added a new section to describe the releases and what they contain. Added a new section to describe the changelog.
• May 13, 2024 - Significant updates to the report website including:
  • Use tar_terra_rast and tar_terra_vect for spatial targets objects. This has the advantage of writing a .tif (or whatever) format for the target output itself, which eliminates the need to push the data to a release for 'publishing.'
  • Website Updates
    • Switch from separate html pages to a quarto website with multiple linked pages
    • added tar_quarto to build the project as part of the targets workflow
    • Updated the main index.html page to include a summary of the project and links to the other pages
    • Added a new page for the project summary with abstract, team, etc.
    • retired the emma.eco google sites page and replaced with this generated one.
    • Park-level reports updates
      • added a new target report_qmd_dir that generates all the park-level .qmd files prior to running the website build (so they are included in the site architecture)
      • condensed and enriched the time-since-fire plots
      • condensed the weather data into a three-panel linked dygraph (temp, precip, spi)
  • The Google Earth api changed a few months ago and broke the automatic updates in emma_envdata.
