Functions to Automate Downloading Geospatial Data Available from Several Federated Data Sources
OTHER License
This is a major release from FedData v3.0.4 to FedData v4.0.0. As of FedData v4 we have retired dependencies on the sp
and raster
packages. All functions in FedData v4 return terra
(raster) or sf
(vector) objects by default, and there may be other breaking changes.

This is the 3.0.4 CRAN release of FedData. This release patches several bugs.
Here is a rundown of changes (as reflected in the package NEWS.md file):
get_ghcn_daily()
and related functions to use https addressesget_nhd()
to gracefully handle situations where no point data (or any NHD data) are available within an area of interest, using solution offered in Issue #98.get_nhd()
to handle some strange geometries present in the NHD Issue #98.Published by bocinsky over 1 year ago
This is the 3.0.3 CRAN release of FedData. This release patches several bugs and improves perf.

This is the 3.0.0 CRAN release of FedData. This is a major release, with breaking changes in several functions.
Here is a rundown of major changes (as reflected in the package NEWS.md file):
get_*()
functions now return sf
or raster
objects.SDA_query()
to soils_query()
to avoid namespace masking with SoilDB.get_nass_cdl()
to retrieve the NASS Cropland Data Layerget_daymet()
to pull from ORNL WCS, and fixed bug in Issue #49
soils_query()
was only returning first SSURGO study area (Issue #51)lubridate::parse_date_time
(Issue #61)get_ssurgo()
now saves in the GeoPackage file format
get_nhd()
now access ESRI web services. Users can optionally get data from NHDPlus.get_nlcd()
now provides data in native CRS (CONUS Albers), rather than web-mercator (Issue #77) by pulling from self-hosted Cloud-Optimized GeoTiffs.paleocar
package.get_ned()
now pulls from USGS NED Cloud-Optimized GeoTiffs available at https://prd-tnm.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html?prefix=StagedProducts/Elevation/.Published by bocinsky over 6 years ago
This is the 2.5.4 CRAN release of FedData.
get_ned()
function now uses the new convention, but falls back to the old one when necessary. A new test has been added to ensure that the legacy fallback works.Published by bocinsky over 6 years ago

An R package implementing functions to automate downloading geospatial data available from several federated data sources (mainly sources maintained by the US Federal government). Currently, the package allows for retrieval of five datasets:
Additional data sources are in the works, including global DEM resources (ETOPO1, STRM), global soils (HWSD), MODIS satellite data products, the National Atlas (US only), Natural Earth, PRISM, and WorldClim.
This package is designed with the large-scale geographic information system (GIS) use-case in mind: cases where the use of dynamic web-services is impractical due to the scale (spatial and/or temporal) of analysis. It functions primarily as a means of downloading tiled or otherwise spatially-defined datasets; additionally, it can preprocess those datasets by extracting data within an area of interest (AoI), defined spatially. It relies heavily on the sp, raster, and rgdal packages.
I recommend Homebrew for installing R and GDAL:
brew install gdal --with-complete --with-opencll --with-unsupported --with-libkml --with-python
(adding the --HEAD
tag will install the latest development version.)
brew install r --with-openblas
Remember, if installing R with Homebrew, you must completely remove old R installations, including the R framework, typically installed at /Library/Frameworks
. This package has been built and tested on a source (Homebrew) install of R on Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite), and has been successfully run on an Ubuntu Linux cluster, and binary installs of R on Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) and Windows 7.
To install, use the following command in R:
devtools::install_github("bocinsky/FedData")
Some OS X systems have trouble installing the rgdal
package from source. If your install fails, and you've installed the Homebrew version of GDAL and R, try the following command (from within R:
install.packages("rgdal", configure.args="--with-proj-include=/usr/local/include --with-proj-lib=/usr/local/lib")
A demo script is available in the /inst
folder at the location of the installed package.

NOTE: As of May 5, 2015, version 0.9-2 of the rgdal package for R does not work well with GDAL 1.11.2. This breaks the getNHD()
function for retrieving the National Hydrography Dataset. Please install GDAL 1.11.1 and rgdal from source, or wait for an update to rgdal.
I recommend Homebrew for installing R and GDAL:
brew install gdal --complete --enable-mdb --enable-opencl --enable-unsupported --with-libkml --with-python
