Data Offerings

• A section for listing data which I have generated or assimilated and can make available under specific usage restrictions.
• Much derived data is only available under the same usage and licence restrictions as the data from which it is derived.
• This is problematic when the derived data is integrated from two or more different sources, with different usage restrictions.
• Global Self-consistent, Hierarchical, High-resolution Shoreline Data
