B-Cubed’s redesigned Guides and Tutorials platform now offers an expanded collection of materials to support users working with biodiversity data. In addition to a clearer structure and improved navigation, the site features a growing range of tutorials aimed at researchers, data managers, policymakers, and technical users.

The updated platform includes step-by-step guidance on:

• Specification for data cubes and their production

• High-level requirements for software, computational tools and resources

• A collection of R packages to calculate indicators from occurrence cubes

• Tutorials for the GBIF SQL download API, a service to aggregate occurrence data

• Spatial data handling and analysis techniques in R

• Generalised Dissimilarity Modelling (GDM) in R

• Google Earth Engine for conservation science

• How to build a species occurrence cube from a GBIF checklist

• Converting GBIF data cubes into cloud native data formats

Each section is designed to help users apply B-Cubed tools in practice—from building workflows and understanding model outputs to supporting biodiversity assessments and decision-making processes.

The site will continue to grow with new content and tutorials added regularly, following the progress and outputs of the project.
