1998 Global Change Related Data Products
This appendix includes
a representative listing of global change related research data products
made available for the first time in 1998 by USGCRP agencies. In February
1999 a fuller listing of the agencies’ data sets with authors, sources,
and Web links for each will be on the Global Change Data and Information
System Web page (http:// www.gcdis.usgcrp.gov).
