Andes-Amazon Spatial Framework

This resource contains shapefiles for the focus regions in which the Andes-Amazon working group will conduct their analysis. The focus sub-basins are the following Andean-Amazon basins: Iça - Putumayo, Japurá - Caquetá, Javari, Juruá, Madeira, Marañón, Napo, Purus, and Ucayali. The shapefiles in this resource delineate the Andes mountains, focus Andean-Amazon basins, and the focus Andean-Amazon network. The Andes mountain delineation is from the Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment (http://www.mountainbiodiversity.org/). The basin outlines and river networks are clipped from the latest version (2.0) of the SNAPP product by Venticinque et al. (2016). The complete SNAPP product can be found on HydroShare (https://www.hydroshare.org/resource/c0d486fbc6fb44df8981a7661ec8c374/) and on FilesAnywhere, directly from the authors (https://personal.filesanywhere.com/fs/v.aspx?v=8e6b668f5e61727da4a6). Note that the SNAPP product is under development and it may be updated on FilesAnywhere before it is updated on HydroShare. Please check timestamps to ensure you are using the latest versions prior to downloading. Contact Claire or Thiago with questions/concerns.

Content Description:
\"AndeanBasins_SNAPP2_0_BasinLevel_02\" folder contains the shapefile of the focus sub-basins in basin level 2. This shapefile can be used to extract other basin levels of interest (1, 3-12) from the SNAP framework.

\"AndeanDrainages_SNAPP2_0_BasinLevel_02\" folder contains two stream network shapefiles in the focus basins. One is the \"Rivers_stream_order_SNAP_Area_maior_4_ordem\" which includes the major streams (strahler orders 4 and up) and \"Rivers_stream_order_SNAP_Area\" which includes all streams.

\"AndeanMountainsOutline\" contains a shapefile delineating the Andes.
