Lake Victoria bathymetric data

Question

I am trying to find bathymetry for Lake Victoria (or portions).

Any GIS format and almost any resolution will do.

As a last resort a hydrographic chart will suffice.

lake victoria....in africa? thats what google says but i'm just not familiar so asking for clarification — albert, Dec 25 '15 at 00:13

Below is a GIS Portal to Lake Victoria at William & Mary University in Williamsburg, VA

This site says it has Shapefiles with bathymetry for Lake Victoria

lol. w&m is a uni but they certainly maintain the college of william & mary name. i know a few tribe alums that would cringe at that wording. not like you did anything wrong...just throwing some commentary in here – albert Dec 25 '15 at 00:12
@albert - thanks for the note. Ya, even the W&M website seems to intersperse using University and College. – Andrew - OpenGeoCode Dec 25 '15 at 22:53

Very cool data product. One suggestion: it would be good to point to an xml document with the reference system and other metadata (EPSG 102024, right?). – Trevor J. Smith Oct 19 '16 at 04:08
Will do in pdf. – If you do not know- just GIS Oct 19 '16 at 11:41
It is in the official metadata at the Harvard Dataverse. – If you do not know- just GIS Oct 19 '16 at 12:41
