Published Data Sets

I have now published all the mobility data from my CAREER project with pastoralists in the Far North Region of Cameroon. The data is freely available in the Movebank Data Repository, which is part of Movebank and designed for long-term data archiving. The Repository is hosted at the Library of the University of Konstanz and complements Movebank's flexible tools for sharing, managing, and analyzing animal movement data throughout all stages of research by providing a way to formally publish completed research datasets.

I have now also started publishing the data from our Modeling Regime Shifts in the Logone floodplain (MORSL), which was supported by the NSF Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems (CNH) Program (BCS-1211986). The hydrological and hydraulic data will be published in the HydroShare data repository.
