Facilitates modeling species' ecological niches and
geographic distributions based on occurrences and environments that
have a vertical as well as horizontal component, and projecting models
into three-dimensional geographic space. Working in three dimensions is
useful in an aquatic context when the organisms one wishes to model can
be found across a wide range of depths in the water column. The package
also contains functions to automatically generate marine training
model training regions using machine learning, and interpolate and smooth
patchily sampled environmental rasters using thin plate splines.
