DATA FROM: Sea level rise and the evolution of aggression on islands

Supplementary data and code for the paper sea level rise and the evolution of aggression on islands by Rijsdijk et al. (2024).
Sea level modelling input and output datasets, R scripts and animation are made available in a supplementary zip file. The zip-file contains a README, code and data directory. The code-directory hosts the R scripts and html files including (1) the calculations of area curves for Rodrigues and Mauritius for the last 3 My and 26ky based on respectively Eustatic Sea Level Curves (Lambeck, Cutler and Bintanja) and a Geophysical model (area_curve_calc.html), (2) visualisations of those area curves (area_curve_plot.html), (3) a comparison with area curves of other islands across the world (area_curve_plot_comparison.html) and (4) the population model script (population_model.R). The data-directory hosts the computed area curves (area-directory) and input and output datasets which were used to compute paleo coastline configurations (reconstruct-directory). Paleo coastline configurations are provided in the mascarenes_st_curve-directory containing 53 coastline vector (vect.gpkg) and 53 raster maps (recrast-directory) for the extent of Rodrigues and Mauritius for the period over the past 26 ky, with time steps of 500 year including also the present day coastline. In addition, an HTML animation is provided of these modelled coastline configurations over time (mascarenes_st_curve.html).
