<p><span class="moz-txt-link-freetext">Hubbard Brook COS and GRADS,</span></p>
<p><span class="moz-txt-link-freetext">I have prepared what should
be an easy-to-use GIS package, based on the GIS<br>
data in the Hubbard Brook Data Catalog. All data are available
online as individual <br>
layers (or tiles for lidar). The advantage here, is that
everything is in a single zip file.</span></p>
<p><span class="moz-txt-link-freetext">There is information in the
attached html file on how to use these data - you might want <br>
to read that first to see if this is something that will be
useful to you.<br>
</span></p>
<p><span class="moz-txt-link-freetext">At the links below, there are
zip files with all of the GIS datafiles <i>and</i> a QGIS
project <br>
file (one includes the merged bar-earth lidar tiles for HBEF).
By launching QGIS and then <br>
opening the HBEF project, you will instantly get<br>
a 'starter map'. From there you can add/delete/configure as you
wish. Step by<br>
step instructions are in the attached file. Note that you can
ignore the QGIS project, and open<br>
GIS layers in Arc if that is what you use. QGIS may be an
advantage for some, since it<br>
runs under PC and MAC, and does not require a license.</span></p>
<p><span class="moz-txt-link-freetext">If you need more background
information<br>
on any of the GIS files, locate them here, and view metadata:

<p><span class="moz-txt-link-freetext">Feel free to contact me if
you want guidance on any advanced GIS functions and/or analysis,
or <br>
getting your Hubbard Brook custom data into GIS format.<br>
