Dear all,
in late December, the new blog of the Natural Hazards Division of the European Geoscience Union was officially introduced.
The blog is maintained on a voluntary basis by the Natural Hazards Early Career Scientist Team (NhET).
The blog is intended to feature posts on topics related to natural hazards, open discussions,
Dear all,
when working with linestring features (e.g. river or infrastructure networks), we might want to join two data frames by group and interval. I recently had to perform such a task when I wanted to join traffic volume data of permanent traffic counters (available at https://www.asfinag.at/verkehr/verkehrszaehlung/) on a road
Dear all,
back in 2014, Hadley Wickham’s dplyr tutorial at useR!2014 drew a lot of attention to the %>% (pipe) operator from the magrittr package. While the pipe operator is an essential part of the tidyverse workflow, and is thus well-known to users of packages belonging to the umbrella of
Dear all,
during the process of streamlining my posts on extreme value analysis, I have tried to rework the import of the data sets used for my elaborations. Usually, one would definitely use custom functions to perform tasks like this data import, and I figured that this is also useful in
Dear all,
even though this might be a little bit off-topic, I’d like to use the eight science-gathering perijove (fly-by) of NASA’s Juno space probe (which took place at the beginning of September) as an opportunity to point out that raw images of NASA’s are available online at

Dear Pythonistas,
Just in time for Christmas, we have something awesome to share with you: PyDays Vienna (Austria’s premier Python event) will take place again next year!
Here’s what you need to know:
Dear all,
I just came across a very useful, fast and efficient function for matching points in one data frame to their nearest neighbours in another data frame. Of course, I’d like to share my newly acquired pearls of wisdom with you.
I’d like to outline the problem definition by providing a
Dear all,
I have slightly revised parts of the code used in my posts on Extreme Value Analysis. While they were correct with respect to the results, some parts of the code written by former me more than two years ago were plainly ugly. I have also removed some redundancies and
Hello,
today I’d like to draw your attention to an upcoming, interesting R package for handling spatial data.
Following the successful release of the sf package, which simplifies and optimizes many aspects of handling spatial (vector) data in R by implementing simple features as native R data (alongside with many R convenience
Hey folks,
sf is an rather new R package for handling and analyzing spatial data in R. While various R packages are available that provide classes and methods for spatial data (e.g. sp, rgdal and rgeos), sf, which is developed by Edzer Pebesma and others, is intended to gradually replace
