Datasets are member-uploaded spatial information, typically created using a Geographic Information System (GIS). They can be visualized and analyzed using mapping tools in Data Basin, and downloaded for use in desktop GIS software. Datasets include shapefiles, ArcGRID files, ESRI File Geodatabases, and NetCDF files. Most datasets can be overlayed, styled, analyzed, and downloaded.
Data Basin Use Cases are summaries and interpretations of research methods, models, and scientific results. Use Cases are written by Conservation Biology Institute staff, invited guests, and engaged Data Basin members. Use Cases are intended to provide examples of how key conservation datasets, maps, galleries, and supporting information are being put to use to improve well-being for people, wildlife, and landscapes. Contact us if you are interested in publishing a use case.
