Domain review for Beaufort visualizations
> _This issue documents the need for domain review prior to release of this code as an official software release. This issue will be assigned a `DRAFT` label until the code is finalized, at which time Cee Nell should be tagged to delegate the review_
---
### Associated visualizations
There are three visualizations associated with the [Beaufort Sea project](http://water-visualizations-test-website.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/visualizations/earth-in-flux/#/beaufort-sea):
* [Beaufort sea sediment coring](http://water-visualizations-test-website.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/visualizations/earth-in-flux/#/beaufort-sea/beaufort-sea-sediment-coring), describing how USGS scientists collected sediment cores from the Beaufort Sea.
* [Beaufort sea species](http://water-visualizations-test-website.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/visualizations/earth-in-flux/#/beaufort-sea/beaufort-sea-sediment-species) highlighting recent changes in species composition.
* [Beaufort sea timeline](http://water-visualizations-test-website.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/visualizations/earth-in-flux/#/beaufort-sea/beaufort-sea-timeline) displaying shifts in species assemblages over 2000 years

### Related issues
* ~~Beaufort Sea timeline viz `D3` code is not yet finalized - need to address #40 and #41~~
* Need to make sure data are programmatically downloaded in pipeline - see #17 (@aaarcher). In the meantime the data need to be placed in the `'beaufortSea/in'` directory for the data processing steps to be reviewed.
* ~~Need to remove the unused code from the pipeline~~ - See !56
