Here's a quick run down of the files that assemble the input data and where this data is saved:
CODE - A folder containing the code used to analyze the processed data and prepare tables/figures
* parameters.py - file containing parameter names and values
* routines.py - file containing model-required functions
* initialcon.py - initial configuration of variables
* model.py - contains model and simple set of plots
* fig_simulations.py - plots model simulations
* fig_saltmarsh_equil.py - supplementary figure for salt marsh equilibrium
DATA - A folder containing secondary data from model processing
FIGURES - A folder containing a selected set of figures from the thesis
ComTrade and Squid fishery landings data files containing the squid market price and catch volumes are very large (>500MB) and are not included in the repository. Please email Laura Elsler (l.elsler AT outlook.com) to request access to these files.
