This package provides tools for processing and analyzing raw excitation-emission matrices (EEMs) data generated using an Aqualog. This package was designed to build upon the eemR and staRdom packages to create a more streamlined and automated workflow that ensures consistent analysis and simplify the coding required to process the data.
It offers functions to clean and preprocess raw optics (absorbance and fluorescence) data, perform quality assurance on the data, calculate various indices for characterization (e.g., fluorescence index, humification index), and generate a range of visualizations including contour plots and 3D surface plots.
The package is designed for environmental and analytical chemists working with fluorescence spectroscopy data, particularly in the study of complex environmental samples like water or soil. It streamlines data processing and visualization, helping users extract meaningful information from EEM datasets.
