Data
Resources
Geospatial research of marine and estuarine issues requires specific
biological, chemical, meteorological, geological, physical, and
socioeconomic data related to the issue. The GIP Lab maintains spatial
databases from various sources that are available to researchers,
students, and resource managers.
The Baruch institute's short-term and long-term (12 to 20+ years)
environmental monitoring of the relatively pristine North Inlet estuary,
SC, have resulted in a comprehensive database of tidal, meteorological,
chemical, and biological datasets. These monitoring efforts
continue, and these data are supplemented by data collected from nearby
sites having anthropogenic impacts.
Archives of in situ and remotely sensed data and ongoing research and
monitoring activities facilitate the development and maintenance of GIS
data layers related to bacteriology, chemical contaminants, land use and
land cover, eutrophication and nutrient loading, toxicology, and watershed
dynamics. Varied data collection activities and resources have
enabled both the Baruch Institute and the GIP Lab to compile extensive
datasets from a variety of locations along the South Carolina coast.
