On Wed April 26, with Ondřej Mottl we guided a workshop on how to use the new R-package called R-Ratepol to calculate rate of compositional change of your fossil pollen record. Our audience was mostly from the African Pollen Database community but equally useful for those around Latin America.

During almost two hours, we went through the basics of calculating rate of change and how R-Ratepol works. Check out the recording here: LINK

We prepared material that you can easily follow to do it yourself here: LINK
