Increased applicability and engagement through interactive web applications

Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery

By reputation, IDEs are difficult to simulate. They are, however, extremely useful and beneficial for ecologists and resource managers addressing pressing ecological and environmental challenges such as climate change. The challenge is how to make our research and the advances that come from this workshop relevant and accessible to the average ecologist and resource manager that would benefit from these tools. In this talk, I will show how we have used RStudio and Shiny to build interactive web applications that allow users to engage with and gain a greater appreciation of IDEs. The tools presented are relatively easy to use with a basic knowledge of R. I use an IDE model developed to evaluate and predict the effects of climate change on species to demonstrate the power of this tool.
