OVERVIEW: This resource contains a collection of GIS framework and reference materials compiled for use by researchers and students working with the Dynamic Water Critical Zone (DWCZ) project. Materials were assembled from a variety of project and external sources, with some resources provided by project PIs. There is a Boulder County focus inherited from the Boulder Creek Critical Zone Observatory (BcCZO). Files are primarily provided in the versatile KML format for ease of sharing and use across GIS platforms.

SITE EXTENTS:
KML files showing study-site extents. The main set of site extents was created by Kyotaek Hwang.

SITE: BOULDER CREEK

BOULDER COUNTY:
Selected Boulder County GIS resources include:
