Data & Metadata

DSRRN is using the KnowledgeBase Web site as the interface for references and data sources being compiled by DSRRN. KnowledgeBase (KB) is a collaborative project between the Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment (GOMC) and the University of Maine. Currently, KB provides access to bibliographic information. Records in KB are spatially referenced, so that users can locate information using text-based and map-based searches by state/province and by watershed.

DSRRN 2009 Science Meeting Bibliographies
Draft annotated bibliographies have been created for each of the three breakout session themes of the July 2009 Science Meeting. The three themes are Ecosystem Interactions, Restorations as Experiments, and Natural Variability. In addition to the bibliographies, there is a link to the KB database that contains a list of publications and abstracts. Click on each of the topics below to view the bibliography and KB Query.
