Access to spatial and spatio-temporal data sets, which are available in ever greater quantities and quality, is an essential basic task of any spatial or descriptive data analysis in the geosciences and related fields. An ever-growing number of websites, R packages and tutorials support this data access and thus lower a significant barrier to entry.
