Spatial Data Links

This page is by no means a comprehensive or current listing. These are simply some of the pages that have been useful in the past. Individuals are encouraged to make use of Google and/or GIS warehouses that list (presumably more current) online spatial data resources (see Web Portals below).

Note that many of the main spatial data layers from these sources have already been downloaded and are stored on the Huxley Spatial Data Servers (J:\GEO\GEO_data) - so you might check there first...
