Bear Lake Data Repository

The Bear Lake Data Repository (BLDR) is an active archive, containing a growing compilation of biological, chemical, and physical datasets collected from Bear Lake and its surrounding watershed. The datasets herein have been digitized from historical records and reports, extracted from papers and theses, and obtained from public and private entities, including the United States Geological Survey, PacifiCorp, and, inter alia, Ecosystems Research Institute.

Contributions are welcome. The BLDR accepts biological, chemical, or physical datasets obtained at Bear Lake, irrespective of funding source. There is no submission size limit at present—workarounds will be found if submissions exceed Hydroshare limits (20 GB). Contributions are published with an open access license and will serve many use cases. The current repository steward, Bear Lake Watch, will advise on submissions and make accepted contributions available promptly.

Metadata files are provided for each dataset, however, contact with original contributor(s) is encouraged for questions and additional details prior to data usage. The BLDR and its contributors shall not be liable for any damages resulting from misinterpretation or misuse of the data or metadata.
