Data Formatting

These tutorials walk through real Antarctic data workflows — from raw lab or instrument output to clean, FAIR-ready files. Each tutorial is available in both R and Python and shows the data structure at every stage of processing.

Tutorial	Data Type	Input	Output
Tabular Data	Chemical contaminants in tissue	Wide-format lab CSV	Tidy CSVs split by contaminant class
NetCDF Data	Moored CTD time series	Per-depth CSVs	CF-1.12 compliant NetCDF

Tip

Run each script from the directory containing your input CSV files. No setwd() or absolute paths needed — just set that folder as your working directory before running.
