In this session we will explore the combined use of GRASS GIS and R following an example of habitat suitability modeling. We will use a daily time series of LST to extract relevant environmental variables for a mosquito species that transmits West Nile virus in Northern Italy. Particularly, we will use TGRASS to estimate bioclimatic variables such as those from Worldclim, autumnal cooling, spring warming, number of consecutive days with a certain LST value, number of potential mosquito generations, etc. We will then import our vector and raster maps into R and proceed with the habitat suitability modeling and prediction.Link: https://opengeohub.org/summer_school_2021Link youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox8hwiRrlsU&t=1070s
