This is a collection of all GPS- and computer-generated geospatial data specific to the Alpine Treeline Warming Experiment (ATWE), located on Niwot Ridge, Colorado, USA. The experiment ran between 2008 and 2016, and consisted of three sites spread across an elevation gradient. Geospatial data for all three experimental sites and cone/seed collection locations are included in this package. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Geospatial files include cone collection, experimental site, seed trap, and other GPS location/terrain data. File types include ESRI shapefiles, ESRI grid files or Arc/Info binary grids, TIFFs (.tif), and keyhole markup language (.kml) files. Trimble-imported data include plain text files (.txt), Trimble COR (CorelDRAW) files, and Trimble SSF (Standard Storage Format) files. Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) and comma-separated values (.csv) files corresponding to the attribute tables of many files within this package are also included. A complete list of files can be found in this document in the “Data File Organization” section in the included Data User's Guide. Maps are also included in this data package for reference and use. These maps are separated into two categories, 2021 maps and legacy maps, which were made in 2010. Each 2021 map has one copy in portable network graphics (.png) format, and the other in .pdf format. All legacy maps are in .pdf format. .png image files can be opened with any compatible programs, such as Preview (Mac OS) and Photos (Windows). All GIS files were imported into geopackages (.gpkg) using QGIS, and double-checked for compatibility and data/attribute integrity using ESRI ArcGIS Pro. Note that files packaged within geopackages will open in ArcGIS Pro with “main.” preceding each file name, and an extra column named “geom” defining geometry type in the attribute table. The contents of each geospatial file remain intact, unless otherwise stated in “niwot_geospatial_data_list_07012021.pdf/.xlsx”. This list of files can be found as an .xlsx and a .pdf in this archive. As an open-source file format, files within gpkgs (TIFF, shapefiles, ESRI grid or “Arc/Info Binary”) can be read using both QGIS and ArcGIS Pro, and any other geospatial softwares. Text and .csv files can be read using TextEdit/Notepad/any simple text-editing software; .csv’s can also be opened using Microsoft Excel and R. .kml files can be opened using Google Maps or Google Earth, and Trimble files are most compatible with Trimble’s GPS Pathfinder Office software. .xlsx files can be opened using Microsoft Excel. PDFs can be opened using Adobe Acrobat Reader, and any other compatible programs. A selection of original shapefiles within this archive were generated using ArcMap with associated FGDC-standardized metadata (xml file format). We are including these original files because they contain metadata only accessible using ESRI programs at this time, and so that the relationship between shapefiles and xml files is maintained. Individual xml files can be opened (without a GIS-specific program) using TextEdit or Notepad. Since ESRI’s compatibility with FGDC metadata has changed since the generation of these files, many shapefiles will require upgrading to be compatible with ESRI’s latest versions of geospatial software. These details are also noted in the “niwot_geospatial_data_list_07012021” file.

DNRGPS is an update to the popular DNRGarmin application. DNRGPS and its predecessor were built to transfer data between Garmin handheld GPS receivers and GIS software.

DNRGPS was released as Open Source software with the intention that the GPS user community will become stewards of the application, initiating future modifications and enhancements.

DNRGPS does not require installation. Simply run the application .exe

See the DNRGPS application documentation for more details.

Compatible with: Windows (XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11), ArcGIS shapefiles and file geodatabases, Google Earth, most hand-held Garmin GPSs, and other NMEA output GPSs

Limited Compatibility: Interactions with ArcMap layer files and ArcMap graphics are no longer supported. Instead use shapefile or geodatabase.

Prerequisite: .NET 4 Framework

The PALEOMAP project produces paleogreographic maps illustrating the Earth's plate tectonic, paleogeographic, climatic, oceanographic and biogeographic development from the Precambrian to the Modern World and beyond.

A series of digital data sets has been produced consisting of plate tectonic data, climatically sensitive lithofacies, and biogeographic data. Software has been devloped to plot maps using the PALEOMAP plate tectonic model and digital geographic data sets: PGIS/Mac, Plate Tracker for Windows 95, Paleocontinental Mapper and Editor (PCME), Earth System History GIS (ESH-GIS), PaleoGIS(uses ArcView), and PALEOMAPPER.

Teaching materials for educators including atlases, slide sets, VHS animations, JPEG images and CD-ROM digital images.

Some PALEOMAP products include: Plate Tectonic Computer Animation (VHS) illustrating motions of the continents during the last 850 million years.

Paleogeographic Atlas consisting of 20 full color paleogeographic maps. (Scotese, 1997).

Paleogeographic Atlas Slide Set (35mm)

Paleogeographic Digital Images (JPEG, PC/Mac diskettes)

Paleogeographic Digital Image Archive (EPS, PC/Mac Zip disk) consists of the complete digital archive of original digital graphic files used to produce plate tectonic and paleographic maps for the Paleographic Atlas.

GIS software such as PaleoGIS and ESH-GIS.

For more information about this tool see Batch Metadata Modifier Tool Toolbar Help.Modifying multiple files simultaneously that don't have identical structures is possible but not advised. Be especially careful modifying repeatable elements in multiple files that do not have and identical structureTool can be run as an ArcGIS Add-In or as a stand-alone Windows executableExecutable runs on PC only. (Not supported on Mac.)The ArcGIS Add-In requires ArcGIS Desktop version 10.2 or 10.3Metadata formats accepted: FGDC CSDGM, ArcGIS 1.0, ArcGIS ISO, and ISO 19115Contact Bruce Godfrey (bgodfrey@uidaho.edu, Ph. 208-292-1407) if you have questions or wish to collaborate on further developing this tool.Modifying and maintaining metadata for large batches of ArcGIS items can be a daunting task. Out-of-the-box graphical user interface metadata tools within ArcCatalog 10.x are designed primarily to allow users to interact with metadata for one item at a time. There are, however, a limited number of tools for performing metadata operations on multiple items. Therefore, the need exists to develop tools to modify metadata for numerous items more effectively and efficiently. The Batch Metadata Modifier Tools toolbar is a step in that direction. The Toolbar, which is available as an ArcGIS Add-In, currently contains two tools. The first tool, which is additionally available as a standalone Windows executable application, allows users to update metadata on multiple items iteratively. The tool enables users to modify existing elements, find and replace element content, delete metadata elements, and import metadata elements from external templates. The second tool of the Toolbar, a batch thumbnail creator, enables the batch-creation of the graphic that appears in an item’s metadata, illustrating the data an item contains. Both of these tools make updating metadata in ArcCatalog more efficient, since the tools are able to operate on numerous items iteratively through an easy-to-use graphic interface.This tool, developed by INSIDE Idaho at the University of Idaho Library, was created to assist researchers with modifying FGDC CSDGM, ArcGIS 1.0 Format and ISO 19115 metadata for numerous data products generated under EPSCoR award EPS-0814387.This tool is primarily designed to be used by those familiar with metadata, metadata standards, and metadata schemas. The tool is for use by metadata librarians and metadata managers and those having experience modifying standardized metadata. The tool is designed to expedite batch metadata maintenance. Users of this tool must fully understand the files they are modifying. No responsibility is assumed by the Idaho Geospatial Data Clearinghouse or the University of Idaho in the use of this tool. A portion of the development of this tool was made possible by an Idaho EPSCoR Office award.
