The data from the original sources was last updated on 2022-08-11, and are all in the data/orig/ directory. The processed data is in data/proc/.

All the output artifacts (figures and table) can be found in the output directory in this repository. The figures are all in the zip file figures.zip, because the original TIFF files are too big for the size limits of github.
