Description
CREST (Climate Reconstruction Software) is a package developed by paleoclimatologist Manuel Chevalier and applied in the R Studio Programming Environment that permits linkage of massive taxonomic distribution and climate tolerance datasets derived from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) with fossil occurrence data, producing robust paleoclimate reconstructions of up to up to 14 bioclimatic variables, which at a minimum include mean annual temperature and mean annual rainfall.
