Additional 50% matcing support came from the Natural Resources Research Institute at the University of Minnesota Duluth.The project described here involved 1) compiling and integrating surface water quality date (i.e. manually collected grab samples) collected since the 1950s which have been quality assured as indicated by their inclusion in EPS's STORET data base or via more modern federal and/or state certification programs, into a common database to expand the current (thalwed, i.e. main channel) tool's time range through 2015; and 20 developing a new application that would allow on-lin users to view and animate synoptic data (i.e. data collected from multiple stations on the same date) via bubble plots.enGeoscience dataWeb sitesSurface waterMappingNatural Resources Research InstituteUniversity of Minnesota DuluthTechnical Report
