[R-sig-Geo] Flow Accumulation Algorithm

[Shaun Walbridge]

You could also look at calling out to a GIS environment from R to make the calculation. For example, there are bridge libraries to talk to SAGA [1], GRASS [2], and ArcGIS [3] from within R which can all read data formats raster can create.

2. https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rgrass7/
3. https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RPyGeo/

Hi Andre

Have you tried using TauDEM? The following demonstrates that it can be called from R - http://hydrology.usu.edu/taudem/taudem5/TauDEMRScript.txt

Also, TauDEM includes the much more realistic D-infinity flow direction and accumulation.

Cheers

Tim
