DataStream’s New How-To Video Series
February 9, 2021
DataStream’s new how-to video series provides guidance on using the open-access platform to publish and explore water monitoring data. The first four videos walk data stewards through various steps of the process, beginning with how to upload and update datasets:
- Uploading your data – New Dataset
- Updating your dataset – Add New Data
- Updating your dataset – Modify Existing Data
- Updating your dataset – Edit Metadata
These videos can be used alongside DataStream’s Upload Guide, found on our Resources page.
A data steward account is required to upload and publish data on DataStream. If you have a monitoring program with results you would like to share on DataStream, please contact us.

Meet Our Team: Meghan McLeod
Meghan joined us at the beginning of the year right after finishing her master's degree at the University of Waterloo. Her studies focused on nutrient contamination in the Lake Erie basin. She used long-term data and process-based models to predict past, present, and future nitrogen storage in the surrounding sub-basins of Lake Erie. Meghan will be contributing to the continued development of DataStream by working with data contributors and users across the Great Lakes region and beyond.

A week at the International Association for Great Lakes Research Conference
In May, the DataStream team gathered in Toronto for the 66th Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research, hosted by the International Association for Great Lakes Research (IAGLR).
