Lina Peninsula developed a suite of climate data analysis and modeling features for the lterwg-resilience repository, focusing on quantifying how extreme weather and climate variability affect ecosystem productivity. She engineered end-to-end R and SQL workflows for data ingestion, harmonization, and visualization, integrating cloud storage and reproducible pipelines to streamline analysis. Lina implemented robust statistical modeling, including segmented regression and z-score analytics, to assess relationships between precipitation, temperature extremes, and aboveground net primary productivity. Her work included automated data binning, heat-wave event detection, and sensitivity analyses, resulting in scalable, well-documented tools that support cross-network climate impact assessments and data-driven resilience planning.

February 2026 (Month: 2026-02) – In the lter/lterwg-resilience repository, delivered a comprehensive Extreme Weather Impact Analysis on ANPP with Binning, Heat-Wave, and Warm-Day Modeling. The feature consolidates four commits into a single end-to-end capability that clarifies how extreme and warm weather conditions affect Aboveground Net Primary Productivity (ANPP) across cropland and grassland. Key deliverables include: (1) new precipitation-based binning for extreme weather with accompanying visualizations; (2) integration of new data/models and segmented regression for temperature extremes across land types; (3) calculation and analysis of heat-wave length breakpoints to assess impact on scaled ANPP; (4) analysis of warm day frequency with segmented linear models and visualizations to evaluate effects on ANPP across land types.
