The Sierra Nevada Ecosystem Project

Digital Geographic Data for the Sierra Nevada Region

"SNEP compiled a large amount of existing geographic data and information pertaining to the Sierra Nevada ecosystem. This material ranged from digital maps and images that spanned the entire region to analog maps and data tables for local areas, and also included original data, maps, and model outputs generated by SNEP scientists and consultants. A technical support staff was hired to integrate this information into a coherent, well-documented database and to assist the Science Team with data compilation, data quality assessment, analysis, and product generation. This appendix provides a tabular summary of the digital data compiled by SNEP and an overview of data cataloguing and archiving activities."

This table is published online as an extension of Appendix 3 in SNEP's Final Report To Congress Volume I "Assessment Summaries and Management Strategies". The full description of the table is contained in the pdf version of the appendix to the first report.

The interface needed to access^* the files listed in the table is currently under construction at the ICE (Information Center for the Environment) web site. Updates will be available at this location. For the time being, we have made available the table broken into three sections. The files listed in the tables can be found at the SNEP data section of this site. See Section1, Section 2, or Section 3.

^*-Some of the layers are proprietary and may not be listed in this online table. To view those layers, you will have to contact the authors who incorporated the layers into their reports.
