This dataset was created to assess regions and watersheds of Alaska for mean slope, minimum slope, maximum slope, median slope, standard deviation of slope, range of slope and coefficient of variation of slope in each SASAP region and each HUC8 watershed of Alaska. Three DEM's were mosaicked to make an Alaska-wide tiff. These include separate files for Alaska, the Yukon, and British Columbia. They were combined with the "sasap_regions.zip" shapefile (located here: https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/#view/urn:uuid:2c1c26fc-bfb9-4b6a-8d4a-0be8e61c4deb) to create the shapefile, "regions_slope_shp.zip" and with the "sasap_watersheds_gapfix.zip" shapefile (located here: https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/#view/urn:uuid:2b5ab57e-38ec-4bc9-8290-f080ec0befb4) to create the shapefile "watersheds_slope_shp.zip". CSV versions of the resulting shapefiles are also archived. The included python script, which was used to merge the data, outlines the process in more detail.
