RShiny_RangeShifts

RangeShifts is an interactive shiny app that allows any user to visualize the effects of climate change on marine species range shifts. The app was adapted from Marine Taxa Track Local Climate Velocities.
The app is one of the materials in TrEnCh-Ed, which is an education product from the Buckley Lab, Department of Biology, University of Washington.
