Welcome to the Queen’s University Biological Station (QUBS) Data Archive! This is a new resource that we are developing with Station staff and researchers to host and archive data from projects undertaken at QUBS. Research spans ecology, evolution, resource management and conservation, GIS, climate data, and environmental science. This is a newly developed resource, and we will undoubtedly experience growing pains as this unfolds.

Note that the data in this archive are of two types.

  1. Data that are freely available for immediate download. We only ask that you acknowledge the station.
  2. Data that will belong to an active researcher from whom you must request permission.

He or she will make the ultimate decision as to the availability of their data. We hope that the availability of these data fosters collaborations between QUBS researchers and those from other institutions, encourages new research directions, and raises the profile or our facility.
