Data and Tools

This section of our site offers the building blocks of our research, the data and models we use to test hypotheses rather than the more refined results reported under our Products section. These materials are intended to fuel additional investigations by others, we hope you find them useful. Each dataset includes a description of its meaning, scope, and quality but users are encouraged to check with the listed references or contacts to ensure the data are used properly.
