Some high level functions for quick data access. These will only work on the BU server connected to the gis_course data base.The functions avoid having to type all the code shown in the course sections to apply the code to a new site. The package allows baseline vector data for UK landcover 2105, priority habitats, SSSIs and roads to be imported into R to begin a GIS analysis. Functions for terrain analysis based on digital elevation models up to 3m in resolution are also provided. These include insolation and terrain wetness layers using SAGA. The package also allows easy subsetting of Hansen's global deforestation coverage at 30m resolution.
