Environmental Data Access:
Spatial Data
Spatial data consist of coordinates (geographic or projected) that represent the physical location of a site or a site feature along with metadata that describe how and by whom those coordinates were collected.
MPCA data sets
MPCA offers data and shapefiles for many of our data-based applications. The shapefile download includes both data and files that require geographic information system (GIS) software to make maps or perform other geography-based functions.
