Here are some pros (+) and cons (-):

  • + By using an equal area projection we won't have to account for areas as a planning unit cost or devise a numerator to balance different areas. It does not in

  • - Data originally in geographic projection, eg 0.5 degree cells in AquaMaps, need to get interpolated to new grid

Going to try two methods:

  1. Quick n dirty. Reproject values using neighbors (vs linear interpolation amongst neighbors).

  2. Long n accurate. Update all layers derived from smaller units (eg seamount or vent points, or benthic seascapes) in create-data.R.
