GEO_data and SALdata Servers

The SAL maintains two separate servers ( J:\GEO\GEO_data and J:\saldata ). J:\saldata is used primarily for class folders and SAL tutorial materials.

GEO_data

SAL's spatial data are stored on J:\GEO\GEO_data, organized by geographic regions:

        BC (British Columbia)

        BHAM (Bellingham)

        ISLAND_County

        KING_County

        NW_Region

        SAN_JUAN_County  

        SKAGIT_County

        SNOHOMISH_County   

        USA

        WA_Census

        WA_NOAA

        WA_State

        WA_USGS

        WHATCOM_County

        WORLD

        WWU

In addition there are two folders with collections of data from various geographic regions:

        ESRI_data

        GISdata

In each folder sub-folders contain different data sets organized by type of data and/or the data provider. Thus the BHAM folder contains:

        1_COB_data            (data from the City of Bellingham)

        AirPhoto_Bham        (air photos, organized by year)

        Census_Bham          (data from the US Census, for Bellingham)

        Historical_Bham       (historical data sets)

        etc.

Note that as Bellingham is within Whatcom County, data covering the Bellingham area might also be found in the WHATCOM_County folder and/or the WA_State folder(s).

In general, the closer (geographically) to WWU, the better the data available. We have very good data for the City of Bellingham (zoning, streets, air photos, etc.) than for Seattle for example.

SALdata
Class folders and WWU tutorial materials are stored on J:\saldata. Class folders are organized by the course number (e.g., EGEO350 or ESCI447) for EGEO, ESTU, ESCI and GEOL courses.

In addition there are a series of folders containing tutorial materials:

        tut_FrontPage
       tut_GIS
       tut_GPS

        tut_PowerPoint
       tut_RS (Remote Sensing)
       tut_Scanning
       tut_SktechUp

See also J:\saldata\ESRI_misc for ESRI books (pdf files) and tutorial materials.
