Data Access
There are multiple ways to access the data included in the Shale Network Database:
- CUAHSI HydroClient website: https://data.cuahsi.org/
- Individual datasets are published and interpreted in peer-reviewed articles. These datasets can be accessed via the data DOI that is included in the corresponding article. These datasets are all hosted on the Penn State DataCommons and/or CUAHSI HydroShare.
- Following each major data upload, the Shale Network team will harvest the entire database and publish a snapshot on CUAHSI HydroShare. To request access, you may email Dr. Tao Wen.
