After I got my PhD and decided that the research/academia ladder was not my cup of tea, I moved to Barcelona to work as research technician, building databases and R code/packages for them. After 9 years, I'm still here, now as Data Scientist, still managing
databases and pipelines, webs, shiny applications and R packages.

Shortly after that, I moved to Asturias, close to the Cantabric Sea, where I spend 8 years getting my PhD on Plant Physiology (someday I will be able to talk about PhD students exploitation in the Spanish educative system, even if things are slighty better now).
Here is where my love for linux, open source and R began (goodbye SPSS and Windows, never looked back).

Inspired by @kamapu map for day 16 of #30DayMapChallenge and playing with the amazing {isocubes} by @coolbutuseless I decided to do an spatial introduction.

I'm from León, a province in the NW of Spain. Here is where I was born and raised and where after some time I got my BSc in Biology.

R package gdalraster was updated on CRAN a few days ago and binaries for Windows and macOS are now available. v.2.4.0 is a small feature release since we needed to update URLs for the repo and website. It does add several new wrappers for the GDAL spatial reference API, and a few other enhancements. A full changelog with the new URL is at:

Woot woot! Just seen this shared on pangeo and it looks like ESA's JPEG2000 files are getting TLM markers! This should speed things up a good bit when using CDSE STAC! #rspatial #GDAL
