Data

The SCAPE Project collects data in partnership with Schools by way of Environmental Science courses and other Living Classroom projects. The data is then analyzed throughout the SCAPE Curriculum, using a variety of online analytical tools.

Publicly accessible data is linked below along with instructions. Analysis results can be seen on the Partner Schools pages.

If you are a SCAPE partner and have a @ColoradoRiverScape.org account, please log in and proceed below to begin uploading, downloading, and analyzing data; to receive an account please see the Getting Started page.

Collecting and Submitting Data:

After you have collected your own field data, you can submit your data points to SCAPE using the appropriate Field Assessment Google Form below. These same forms are linked in the context of each applicable SCAPE lesson. You can also print the forms for offline data collection and upload at a later date (a SCAPE Water Quality Field App for your smart phone is under development):

- Chem and Bio Data (print)
- Snow Data (print)

If you have accompanying assets (images or additional documentation), please include them in the online form.

Analyzing Field Data:

SCAPE Field data is publicly accessible to download from Google Sheets, but you may need to manipulate and analyze a copy of this data on your own, separate from the public data set.

Using this link will create a new Google Sheet that automatically imports a copy of SCAPE Public Field data. Name this new Sheet and save it in a convenient location for your class. Any time this Sheet loads, it will pull fresh data from the SCAPE public data set for you to analyze.

Power user tip: This template uses the ‘importrange’ function of Google sheets to pull data from the Public SCAPE Field data Google Sheet.

Advanced Instructions for Power Users:

In addition to the data and maps provided, here are some instructions on how to use tools to analyze the data on your own.

This is a citizen science water quality collection and education project. We are working on making sure that all data uploaded and provided back to you is accurate.
