# Using R in Hydrology - EGU2019 Short Course
Conveners: Alexander Hurley, Louise Slater, Lucy Barker, Guillaume Thirel, Claudia Vitolo, Ilaria Prosdocimi
## Details
- **Where?** Monday 08 April, 16:15-18:00 in Room -2.16 (*basement!*);
- [Using R in Hydrology (link to session)](https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2019/session/30963 "Link to EGU Session Description")
- **What?** This session is aimed at hydrologists who are interested in hearing more about R as well as those who are advanced R programmers wanting to discuss recent developments in an open environment.
- The session is organised in cooperation with the [Young Hydrologic Society (YHS)](https://younghs.com/ "Young Hydrologic Society website") .
- Participants are invited to post and discuss questions in the [Hydrology in R Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/1130214777123909/ "link to Hydro-R Facebook group")
## Topics:
The detailed and time-tabled list of contributions, tutorials and discussion points will be here as soon it's ready.
## Slides
All materials to reproduce the slides and analyses are available on this repository.
To get everything (slides, data, code, etc.) onto your local machine, we recommend to [download the whole github course repository](https://codeload.github.com/hydrosoc/rhydro_EGU19/zip/master). Individual presentations (*.html* or PDF files) can be downloaded from the [presentations folder](./presentations) and viewed in a regular web browser.

## Checks
We will provide any relevant information you require to follow along during the course in due time. This includes software (versions) and any other materials. Stay tuned!
**Update**: We've chosen a presentation-style delivery of the course, rather than a hands-on workshop. You are more than welcome to follow along in the raw (if provided) or rendered versions of any materials. However, some operations, such as downloading and handling rasters, take multiple minutes. If you do want to execute code provided in the raw documents, we advise to give it a try in advance of the course, and ask questions where/if necessary during the session. Required packages are highlighted where necessary.
## Resources:
- [CRAN Hydrology TaskView](https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Hydrology.html "Hydrology TaskView on CRAN")
- airGR - a description of the airGR package (IRSTEA GR Hydrological Models)
- R-Resources for Hydrology - a detailed list of R resources for hydrology (slightly outdated now)
- rnrfa - an R package to interact with the UK National River Flow Archive ([GitHub repo](https://github.com/cvitolo/rnrfa))
- hddtools - an R package to facilitate access to a variety of online open data sources for hydrologists
## R at EGU2019
We recommend the PICO presentation [Using R in Hydrology: recent developments and future directions](https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2019/EGU2019-2823-2.pdf) delivered by Louise Slater in the session [Innovative methods to facilitate open science and data analysis in hydrology - from data collection in challenging environments to data sharing, visualization and modelling](https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2019/picos/31717). This presentation is based on our [discussion paper in HESS](https://www.hydrol-earth-syst-sci-discuss.net/hess-2019-50/) with the same title.
