Longer and more frequent marine heatwaves over the past century — replication study.
Reference paper: Oliver et al. (2018)

This repository is a self-contained replication of the headline claim from the reference paper above. It produces:

A reproducible computational pipeline (Snakefile + notebooks).
A FORRT-tagged nanopublication chain on the Science Live platform, documenting the claim, the replication design, and the outcome with full provenance.
A Zenodo-archived release (source + container image) with a citable DOI.

Quick start¶

git clone https://github.com/annefou/marine-heatwave-replication.git
cd marine-heatwave-replication
pixi install
pixi run snakemake --cores 1

Or with Docker:

docker run --rm ghcr.io/annefou/marine-heatwave-replication:latest

paper/ — the source paper PDF (drop yours in there).
notebooks/ — jupytext .py notebooks that drive the pipeline.
data/ — downloaded by notebooks/01_data_download.py, never committed.
nanopubs/ — drafts of the FORRT chain field-by-field, plus the published-URI registry.
docs/ — operating manuals (FORRT form fields, chain decision tree, claim-type vocabulary).
figures/ — curated figures used in the Jupyter Book.

The published chain is listed in nanopubs/PUBLISHED.md. Each step links to its viewer URL on the Science Live platform.
