About This Presentation

  • Created on Monday, October 26, 2026
  • Built with R Markdown (ioslides_presentation) and Plotly
  • Data: R’s built-in volcano dataset — a topographic grid of Maunga Whau (Mt Eden), a dormant volcano in Auckland, New Zealand
  • 87 × 61 grid of elevation readings, 10 m apart

Tip: every plot is interactive — drag to rotate, scroll to zoom, hover for values.
