I am happy and proud to introduce you to the #newpaper describing #pastclim v 1.2, our #Rstats #package to easily access and use #paleoclimate
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ecog.06481 now out in Ecography
Compared to the #preprint we have included many more functions, e.g. to crop data by mask or extent or sampling regions over time.
For a quick overview see the cheatsheet at https://evolecolgroup.github.io/pastclim/pastclim_cheatsheet.pdf.
We are also in the process of adding more #paleoclimate reconstructions besides the two already available:
"Krapp2021" (last 800k years) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-021-01009-3
"Beyer2020" (last 120k years)
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-020-0552-1
(and if you want us to include our data get in contact!)
We created this because we believe that easier access and handling of #paleoclimate data will benefit a lot of fields ranging from #evolution to #archeology, from #ecology to #popgen, and from #anthropology to #linguistics.

@mikleonardi I've been maintaining an R interface (https://github.com/joeroe/rpaleoclim) to the PaleoClim datasets (http://www.paleoclim.org/) for a few years, which I think is now happily superseded by your much more complete package. But I'm not too to date on the available data - is PaleoClim/PaleoView obsolete after Beyer et al. 2020?
@joeroe I am not the best person among the authors to answer this question, but personally I think that, since the spatial resolution is so much coarser in the Beyer dataset, it did not made PaleoClim obsolete.
