Between the Lines

This script was built for my ENVS103 final project, analyzing the relationship between impervious landcover (% IC) and water discharge (cfs) in the Poquessing Creek Watershed. I used QGIS to find the coordinates of a bounding box enclosing the PCW, then connected 8 impervious landcover WMSs to GeoConverter centered on the bounding box, and saved each as a JPG. Each of the JPGs were scanned into R, and an array was built, assigning every pixel an RGB value using countcolors, indexing the changes in impervious landcover per year.

This was intended to mimic remote sensing in the most achievable way for me at the time, being entirely self-guided, which is why the methods are unlikely to be research grade but was at minimum a valuable learning experience.
