Exploratory plots / data viz

[dbuscombe-usgs]

basic plots/maps of samples, including interesting viz of particular variables

• Hot spot analysis
• Spatio-temporal hot spot analysis (time series)
• Time-series of samples
• Time-series of samples per state
• Samples per state vs grainsize variation per state
• (Beach Area per State)/Number of Samples
• Sandy-shore line per state/Number of Samples
• Grain-size standard deviation along alongshore parallel contour bins etc. I.e. which areas have more variable compositions etc
• Quick socio-ish analysis. Samples vs coastal population, published metrics like beach tourism economy income, at risk to climate/sea-level etc
