Digitalization of coastal management and decision making supported by multi-dimensional geospatial information and analysis

ABSTRACT

This paper presents the status and outcomes of the fourth year of an NSF-funded Digital Government Program project. During this four-year period, geo-spatial technologies have been investigated and developed to enhance the operational capabilities of federal, state, and local agencies responsible for coastal management and decision making. Successful collaborations have been established among research laboratories and government agencies in the areas of data collection and analysis, hydrodynamic modeling, development of web-based systems, and real-world applications of research results.
