  • The Human Ecosystem Framework [Here...] Adapted from Machlis, Force, and Burch, 1994, shows the relationship between human and physical ecosystem properties.
     
  • Baltimore Ecosystem Study data and metadata are available on a standard web interface [Here...].
     
  • BES metadata has been centralized using the Open Research Metadata System. [More...] It can be searched by keyword and via a geographical interface as well as via a graphical interface based on the Human Ecosystem Framework.
     
  • Baltimore Ecosystem Study data can be viewed using Google Earth. [More...].
     
  • The Baltimore Ecosystem Study Online Spatial Data Portal. [More...] displays BES data on a web-friendly interface. The interface allows the different layers to be turned on and off. Additionally, aerial photographic data becomes visible as the view is zoomed in.
     
  • The Baltimore Ecosystem Study Geodatabase. [More...] is an integral part of the BES data management framework. It facilitates storage, management and distribution of a virtually unlimited number of datasets while maintaining the georeferential relationships (that is, the location of each point in each dataset, as it relates to it's location on earth and to other data points) between them.
     
  • The Baltimore Ecosystem Study One-Pagers. [More...] provide a single paged "snapshot" of each facet of the study. They are written entirely in non-technical terms and can be used as public information documents.
     
  • Selected presentation files (Powerpoint and Portable Document Format) are available [Here...]
     
  • The BES presentation abstracts are available here: 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005. 2006.
