OSU IPPC GRASSLinks 3.2beta: Public Access GIS

GRASSLinks is a World Wide Web interface to a geographic information system (GIS), offering public access to mapped information. GRASSLinks provides GIS display and analysis tools to facilitate data sharing and cooperation between environmental planning agencies, public action groups, citizens, and private entities. The default version of this page is gl.html which includes only the two GRASS (global and Spearfish) datasets.
