Overview
This section provides practical guides for converting between commonly used raster and spatial file formats in ecological modelling workflows.
These tutorials are designed to support species distribution modelling (SDM), environmental variable preparation, and spatial data interoperability within EcoCommons workflows.
Available Conversion Guides
1. ASCII ⇄ GeoTIFF
Convert ASCII (.asc) to GeoTIFF (.tif)
Converting Rasters from ASCII to GeoTIFF
Convert environmental raster layers such as bioclimatic variables into GeoTIFF format for compatibility with modern spatial workflows.
Convert GeoTIFF (.tif) to ASCII (.asc)
Converting Rasters from GeoTIFF to ASCII
Export GeoTIFF rasters into ASCII format for legacy modelling tools or data sharing requirements.
2. Shapefile ⇄ GeoTIFF
Convert GeoTIFF (.tif) to Shapefile (.shp)
Converting GeoTIFF to Shapefile
Transform raster data into vector polygons for spatial analysis and boundary extraction.
Convert Shapefile (.shp) to GeoTIFF (.tif)
Converting Shapefile to GeoTIFF
Rasterise vector data for integration with environmental predictors in SDM workflows.
3. NetCDF ⇄ GeoTIFF
Convert GeoTIFF (.tif) to NetCDF (.nc)
Converting GeoTIFF to NetCDF
Transform GeoTIFF rasters into NetCDF format for multidimensional storage and climate modelling workflows.
Convert NetCDF (.nc) to GeoTIFF (.tif)
Converting NetCDF to GeoTIFF
Extract raster layers from NetCDF datasets and export them into GeoTIFF format for modelling and analysis.
