I am in the process of creating marine isoscapes by combining satellite telemetry data and isotope data from seabirds.
I know ArcGIS has a suite of interpolation methods, each of which has its own parameters to adjust.
But I know that statistical programs (specifically R) have the capability to perform the spatial interpolation of models.
I am wondering if anyone has experience in the creation of isoscapes because there are many ways to create them, but I'm not sure why to choose one method over any of the others.
Dear Matt,
While I do not have only limited (and not very successful) experience in creating Isoscapes I am in the fortunate position to know colleagues who have and can. One point of contact would be Jurian Hoogewerff at the University of Otago (NZ). Jurian has created isoscapes (2H and 18O of freshwaters in Scotland) for me using R and Surfer. [email protected] . The other would be Gabe Bowen at the University of Utah; [email protected]
Best wishes,

Excellent!
Thank you so much for the help. I'll reach out to them and see about picking their brains a tiny bit. Much appreciated!
