LAGOS GIS Toolbox

This is an ArcGIS toolbox for landscape limnology created from a collection of Python script tools. It was used to create the LAGOS-US database.

Releases & Citation

Release v2.0 corresponds to the methods documented with the release of the LAGOS-US LOCUS and GEO modules

LOCUS Data citation: Smith, N.J., K.E. Webster, L.K. Rodriguez, K.S. Cheruvelil, and P.A. Soranno. 2021.
