Estimating past crabeater seal (Lobodon carcinophagus) distribution in East Antarctica in November (late breeding) and December (post-breeding) using a weighted species distribution model ensemble.
To train our models, we used publicly available crabeater presence data between December 1981 and December 2013. Environmental data came from two sources: (1) remotely-sensed data, and a high resolution coupled sea ice-ocean model, ACCESS-OM2-01.
This repository includes all scripts developed to estimate the habitat distribution of crabeater seals.
