Sagehen Datasets

Sagehen Datasets

Monitoring of the Sagehen Basin began as early as the snow transects of the 1930's. Since then many researchers have contributed a rich assortment of datasets that are publicly available.

Additional research data from the Sagehen basin is available from publications, or the researchers themselves.
