Create ES50 heatmap on globe website

[MathewBiddle]

There is a really nice visualization tool at https://glaroc.github.io/gbif_globe/ and the source code is available at https://github.com/glaroc/gbif_globe.

It looks like you could replace the following two lines with references to your own jpg images.

If obisindicators could create the ES50 indicator for the globe and save the maps as jpg images, we might be able to use this visualization tool.

images need to be 16k by 8k px.

@albenson-usgs has the code https://github.com/USF-IMARS/global-obis-es50/blob/main/use_gbif_parquet_file.Rmd. Just need to update how the images are written (I think).

Okay, here's what I've learned:

• I've been able to project this image of species density (as calculated and generated here - See cell 23) onto the globe.
• The projection that seems to fit is PlateCarree(). But, we might want to test with other available projections.
• I had to make the background of the image transparent so the earth topology comes through. Otherwise it's just your map wrapped around a ball (in hindsight that might make this easier if we disregard the topology layer - wont need to match up projections and centers).

Below are some tinkerings with a small image:

you can see my progress at https://github.com/MathewBiddle/gbif_globe

• can't figure out how to build to gh-pages branch and publish to mathewbiddle.github.io/gbif_globe

[MathewBiddle]

Published! https://mathewbiddle.github.io/gbif_globe/

Note:

• only these layers are available:
  • 2020
  • 2010
• The projections are wrong for this display
• I removed the topography layer - too difficult to match up topography projection to data projection without knowing what it was originally.
• Images are coming from the 2010 and 2020 jpgs at https://github.com/MathewBiddle/bio_ice

Projection is PlateCarree

Checkout the README for details on how to create the images for projecting onto sphere.

🔥 I am excited to see progress on this.

ongoing development now over here: https://github.com/MathewBiddle/globe

Last piece before closing this is to add a link to it.
