Data & Code

Lichen Collection

We are growing a small collection of California lichens from our research activities. Click here to access our Lichen Collection page.

Data

Derived and original data sets from published projects are hosted in public repositories. See links below for specific projects.

Original data collected during Jes's thesis research are available from KNB. Please inform her if you intend to use these data as a part of a research project and feel free to contact her with questions.

Code

Scripts for analyses from current and past projects are hosted on Jes's GitHub site. Final versions of code for analyses in published research are included in the data repository associated with the publication (see above). Code from active projects is available through GitHub and may not be perfectly commented and can frequently change. If you are interested in re-using any code and have questions or are interested in collaborating on active projects, please email her.
