R Tools for Generating Maps and Spatial Modelling
Introduction
This article outlines the use of two R packages, geoMap and geo, developed to analyse data and generate outputs for the e-atlas and ningaloo-atlas. geoMap generates a variety of plots that can be used for exploratory analysis, presentations and publication-quality maps. geo is an extensive set of spatial modelling techniques that produces fitted surfaces that can be added to publication graphics, or added to the e-atlas as layers, or used as KMLs.

Pollutants at trace concentrations in water are detected, monitored and quantified using time integrated passive sampling techniques These techniques are based on the diffusion of chemicals from the water into a sampling phase that has a relatively high capacity for the chemicals of interest and provide a quantitative measure of the concentration of analytes in the samplers.
