As an environmental engineer, I have been concerned about the environment since I got my BS (1967) and MS (1971) degrees in Civil/ Environmental Engineering and started working as a water engineer. This blog and my ProcessTrends.com website combine my data analysis, total quality management and environmental interests and present R and Excel charts that show global environmental trends.
I have made each chart in R and/ or Excel from on-line data sources. The R scripts and workbooks are available on request.
Contact me - Please contact me if you have any questions or suggestions or would like to use charts like these in an environmental/ data analysis program.

I am also obsessed with visualizing the climate system and climate change and believe a blog of this sort is long overdue. On the other hand, communicating, explaining or simply exploring climate change with data-driven graphics is far less valuable without an equally rigorous understanding of the psychological perception of those graphics by members of the public. In particular, most people indulge a presumption of truth and accuracy when interpreting data graphics. The implications of this tendency are very important to the future of climate visualization and should be explored here as well.

I have been teaching myself R for the past couple of months and I also have an interest in applying statistics to understanding climate (“interested amatuer”) and this blog is FANTASTIC! Thanks!
