Tutorial for marine SDMs

Hi there! 👋 My name is Denisse Fierro Arcos 🤓🐱‍👤

---

I am a marine scientist from Ecuador living in Hobart/lutruwita, Australia. I am completing a PhD on a part-time basis at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies. My project focuses on assessing the suitability of using a high resolution sea ice-ocean coupled model (ACCESS-OM2-01) to study the impacts of climate change on Southern Ocean ecosystems 🐧🐳 I work part-time as a Research Assistant for the Fisheries and Marine Ecosystem Model Intercomparison Project (Fish-MIP) where I work largely as a scientific software engineering. I also work with the Reef 2050 Integrated Monitoring and Reporting Program Data Management System (RIMReP DMS) project at Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) on a casual basis, largely developing sample scripts and delivering training about how to access datasets hosted in the DMS and perform simple data analysis. Previously, I worked as a shark researcher in the the Galapagos 🦈🐠, as a environmental consultant in Perth, as a programming trainer, and as an freelance data scientist. Over the years, I have been involved in a few publications and you can find them here.

I am a Python and R progammer and I really enjoying writing scripts and help others develop their own. I am often involved in the organisation and delivery of workshops and hackathons in Australia and Latin America. I am involved with the R-Ladies, Datatas, OceanHackWeek and I am a certified Carpentries instructor.

Who am I?

• 🔭 I’m currently working on my PhD studying the effects of climate change on Southern Ocean ecosystems using a high-resolution ocean-sea ice model.
• 🌐 I work as a Research Assistant for the [Fisheries and Marine Ecosystem Model Intercomparison Project (Fish-MIP), which seeks to understand the impacts of a changing climate on fisheries and marine ecosystems globally.
• 🐟 I also develop tools for the Fish-MIP to facilitate access to ISIMIP data.
• 🌱 I’m currently learning about species distribution models in R.
• 🤓 I have recently started reviewing code for rOpenSci.
• 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on projects studying the effect of climate change on ecosystems (if sharks 🦈 are involved even better). I am also interested in working in any projects related to open science, particularly if directed to Spanish speakers.
• 💬 Ask me about how to make nice plots with ggplot2 (this is by far my favorite package), or how to find environmental data (observations or models) for ecological research.
• 📖 If you are interested in reading any of my publications and you cannot access them, contact me and I will be more than happy to share them.
• 📫 How to reach me: email.
• 😄 Pronouns: she/her
• ⚡ Fun facts: I am a massive dog lover ❤🐕 and I am competent at many sports (running, swimming, cycling, climbing, free- and scuba-diving, kayaking, boxing), but I do not excel at any of them 😅
