An Underwater Science And Resource Database Management System And Proposed Applications To Marine Geographic Information Systems, Ivar Babb
Theses and Major Papers
The National Undersea Research Program (NURP) is a federally-funded program that provides scientists with modern in situ technology that allows them to conduct research that goes beyond the constraints of traditional oceanographic methodology. NURP is comprised of five regional centers that administer underwater science, and through the principal investigators that are supported generate a vast quantity of diverse data. This data and information bank consists of the following: raw environmental data, logistical data, locational data, information about the scientists, video and still photograph documentation, and publication information. This paper describes the theory behind the implementation of a Database Management System …
The Use Of Remote Sensing Techniques And Geographic Information Systems By Coastal Managers In Rhode Island, Margaret H. Sano
The Use Of Remote Sensing Techniques And Geographic Information Systems By Coastal Managers In Rhode Island, Margaret H. Sano
Theses and Major Papers
Planners and managers must understand the physical and anthropogenic changes taking place within the coastal zone to provide effective management. Remote sensing techniques and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are excellent tools for contributing data and analytical capabilities to identify possible conflicts within the coastal zone. This study examines the potential and actual use of these technologies by coastal managers within Rhode Island. Potential usage is discussed in terms of the range of data available and the feasibility of using the data for coastal problems. Also, GIS capabilities in Rhode Island are explored. Finally a survey designed to measure the actual …
