Measuring how close marine biodiversity observations sit to ports and offshore infrastructure. The project combines GBIF data, SQL queries, distance classes and map reading: 459,773 observations, 2010 to 2023.
Statistics have always shapedthe way I see the world.
- Alban Gerschheimer, Montpellier
- 459,773 marine observations around Europe, mapped in R
- Confusion matrices: the errors sit between sea and glacier
- The data model, drawn before the first SQL query
- Distance to port against distance to offshore sites, by phylum
- Six models on 24 images they had never seen
- 443,637 observations sit in the class furthest from ports
- Introduction to SQL, DataCamp
- Observations per year, 2010–2023, counted in SQL
- Text clustering workflow in Orange
- Mean distance to port per year, phylum against phylum
- Cluster C1: eleven fashion articles
Studying them became a natural choice. I'm in my third year of MIASHS at Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3, and looking for a data internship from May 2027.
