Visit the Catskill Science Collaborative Portal

The Catskill Science Collaborative network has long looked for a place and mechanism to centralize data from a range of monitoring and research programs conducting in the Catksills region of New York. FEMC staff are working with an array of partners to pull together key datasets and make them available through a customized portal for discovery and access.

This product was first launched in October, 2018.

The DendroEcological Network (DEN) provides both an online repository for dendroecological and associated forest ecology data and a cyberinfrastructure for the discovery, exploration, and sharing of that data. The data portal is publicly available and anyone with access to the internet can use it.

FEMC has built the infrastructure and is currently bringing in data from experts around the region to pouplate this resource, and expects to launch this tool for public use by the end of 2018

The Long-Term Soils Monitoring Database started in 2002 with the mission to use soil monitoring as a method of detecting, predicting, and addressing environmental change. The plan is collect a 100 year span of soil data from plots throughout Mount Mansfield and Lye Brook in Vermont. Monitoring occurs on a 5-year cycle.

The Environmental Monitoring and Management Alliance (EMMA) is a regional network of land managers and researchers committed to developing standardized methodologies for environmentally relevant research and data collection in the Hudson Valley of New York. Bringing together 10 organizations, they have built up an initial data archive of climate and deer exclosure data, and made it available through the Forest Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative’s archive. Included are six datasets on deer exclosures, one of which has been in operation since 1992, and eight weather monitoring projects at different sites.
