QRiS - Riverscapes Consortium

QGIS Riverscapes Studio or QRiS is a plugin that helps you digitize your riverscape data. It provides a flexible, extensible structure for your data, together with consistent symbology to streamline your analysis and reporting.

QRiS is a plugin to the free, open-source QGIS desktop GIS software. QRiS is targeted at anyone interested in understanding and analyzing their riverscape - including: practitioners, managers, analysts, researchers and students with some familiarity with GIS. It helps users with analysis, monitoring, assessment of riverscapes as well as preparation of the design and as-builts of low-tech process-based restoration designs.

You can access Climate Engine datasets within QRiS and retrieve time series for sample frame polygons to further your understanding of your riverscapes. Climate Engine time series variables are downloaded and stored within your QRiS project.
