The Mountain Drainage Basin Research Group offers digital elevation data and information on Geographic Information Systems (GIS). A bibliography of the group's publications is available, as are links to selected research endeavors, most involving GIS and slope analysis. There is a detailed description of the group's computer processing facilities. Users can access GIS data for Washington State and other parts of the world, as well as a section on the modeling of geomorphological processes over large scales. A course on drainage basin dynamics, a link to the Puget Sound Regional Synthesis Model (PRISM), and a page focused on the study of the movement of water are also available.
