David Hoover developed advanced climate data analytics features for the lter/lterwg-resilience repository, focusing on ecological and climate resilience metrics. He refactored the Aridity Index workflow to process monthly climate data, implementing PET calculations via the Thornthwaite method and generating cross-network AI visualizations. In a subsequent feature, David delivered analytics and visualization tools for exploring relationships between Aboveground Net Primary Production and precipitation indices, including site-specific drought and wet condition analyses using SPEI. His work, primarily in R, demonstrated strong skills in data wrangling, statistical analysis, and data visualization, resulting in robust, scalable pipelines for ecological data interpretation.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-08 focusing on key accomplishments for lter/lterwg-resilience. Delivered ANPP-Precipitation and SPEI Analytics and Visualization feature; added R scripts for ANPP vs precipitation indices; loaded/cleaned/aggregated data; generated plots; introduced SPEI-related drought/wet condition visualizations for CPER and PRHPA; initiated testing.

February 2025 performance summary for lter/lterwg-resilience: Delivered a monthly Aridity Index (AI) calculation and visualization by refactoring the AI workflow to monthly climate data, reading monthly weather data, calculating PET via the Thornthwaite method, and deriving AI from monthly precipitation and PET. Added a histogram visualization of AI distributions across networks. Implemented a bug fix to ensure AI calculation uses monthly data (commit e6249ce3b766a82319882f81cd4796f01d8). This work improves resilience analytics by providing a more accurate, scalable AI metric and enabling cross-network comparisons.
