MODIStsp: a new “R” package for MODIS Land Products preprocessing
In this post, we are introducing MODIStsp a new “R” package allowing to automatize the creation of time series of rasters derived from Land Products data derived from MODIS satellite data (; www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0098300416303107). Development of MODIStsp started from modifications of the ModisDownload “R” script by T...

The new MODIStsp website (based on pkgdown) is online !
The MODIStsp website, which lay abandoned since several months on github pages, recently underwent a major overhaul thanks to pkgdown. The new site is now available at http://lbusett.github.io/MODIStsp/ We hope that the revised website will allow to navigate MODIStsp-related material much more easily than either github or the standard CRAN docum...

Building a website with `pkgdown`: a short guide
As promised in my last post, here is a short guide with some tips and tricks for building a documentation website for an R package using pkgdown. In the end, this guide ended up way longer than I was expecting, but I hope you’ll find it useful, although it often replicates information already available in pkgdown documentation ! Prerequisites T...

MODIStsp 1.3.3 is out – Speeding things up and squashing some bugs !
A new version of MODIStsp (1.3.3) is on CRAN as of today ! Below, you can find a short description of the main improvements. Processing speed improvements Processing of MODIS layers after download (i.e., scale and offset calibration, computation of Spectral Indexes and Quality Indicators) is now much faster. As you can see in the figure, process...

Speeding up spatial analyses by integrating `sf` and `data.table`: a test case
The problem Last week, I replied to this interesting question posted by @Tim_K over stackoverflow. He was seeking efficient solutions to identify all points falling within a maximum distance of xx meters with respect to each single point in a spatial points dataset. If you have a look at the thread, you will see that a simple solution based on cr...

Automatically importing publications from bibtex to a hugo-academic blog
The problem I am in the process of migrating my (rather ugly) small blog from “Bloggers” to blogdown and, as several others, I choose to use the hugo-academic theme due to its good looks, simplicity, and “focus” towards researchers. One nice feature of hugo-academic is that it includes out-of-the-box a “Publications” section, allowing...
