Field Data for Plots

  • Graphic showing location of field sites "glacplots.pdf" (546K)

  • Self extracting files containing Arc files for "Location of field sites" "glacplot.exe" (127k)

    • (Includes Waterton Lakes National Park Field Plots Data)

  • Field Plots Data Metadata ( 41K)

    • (Glacier National Park & Waterton Lakes National Park Field Plots Metadata has one metadata for both parks)

  • Access Database: Field Data for Accuracy Assessment, Physical Descriptive and Species Listing Data (32.8M)

    • These data were collected under contract by The Nature Conservancy, through a contract with the Environmental Research Systems Institute. They are represented in two files.

    Physical Descriptive Data for Plots

    For 1113 sites, contains site code, site name, GPS coordinates, and physical factors (elevation, slope, aspect, topographic setting, landform, surface geology, cowardin system type, surface materials, leaf characteristics, and physiography). This is a very large file that may not display properly on your computer. Download the spreadsheet or database formats for local viewing.
