APPLYING CMECS

Applications

This online map shows and allows users to explore the geographic distribution of CMECS projects, which have been organized into the categories below:

• Mapping Projects – Projects where source data were analyzed or interpreted directly to produce CMECS data from the outset.
• Data Integration Projects – Projects where several existing data were integrated to produce a seamless map or establish historical trends.
• Crosswalks – Projects where existing or new data classified under another system were translated to CMECS.
• Programmatic Implementation – Projects where CMECS is the organizing framework for multiple smaller-scale efforts and data sets.

Users are encouraged to contact these groups to learn how CMECS contributed to their goals and the specific approaches they took.
