Great Lakes DataStream, an open access hub for sharing water data, was successfully released last year and currently contains over eight million open data points collected by 47 monitoring groups from across the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin.
Great Lakes DataStream provides a centralized hub for Quebec’s freshwater data to be stored, compared, and used to protect our waters. It is the fourth DataStream hub, joining Mackenzie DataStream, Atlantic DataStream, and Lake Winnipeg DataStream.
We can’t think of a better place to celebrate DataStream’s debut in Quebec than at the region’s first gathering of participatory science leaders, whose mission is to strengthen community-based water monitoring initiatives in the province.
The results are in! DataStream's 2023 external evaluation
We asked for your feedback, and you delivered! DataStream is pleased to share the results of our 2023 external evaluation.
Community science on the agenda in the Great Lakes
Since DataStream began in 2016, we have focused on amplifying the important work of community-based monitoring groups. We’re excited that community science has been a central theme at the many gatherings we’ve attended over the past few months throughout the Great Lakes region.
Paddling and protecting the Madawaska
For the past four years, Madawaska Kanu Centre’s office team have been tracking the river’s water quality. Once a month, unless the conditions are too icy, they measure parameters like pH levels, dissolved oxygen and transparency.
