"In this project, new web mapping applications are being developed for the Barrow community to aid decision-making on topics like climate change, coastal erosion, and sustainable development. Funded by the federal Coastal Impact Assessment Program, the initiative aims to expand environmental decision-making capabilities in Ukpeaḷvik Iupiat Corporation lands. Objectives include creating high-resolution wetlands maps, developing erosion monitoring tools, and enhancing local mapping capacity. The team comprises Lars Nelson, Qaiyaan Aiken, Craig Tweedie, Allison Gaylord, and William Manley."

  1. Scientific Web Apps for Sustainable Community Development Community Meeting Tuesday, August 13th, 2013

  2. Introduction New Project Barrow Area Decision Support Tools New web mapping applications to be developed for the Barrow community Map layers and tools to assist decision making With a focus on climate change, coastal erosion, landscape change, and sustainable community development Part of the Barrow Area Information Database (BAID)

  3. Introduction Funding Funding from the federal Coastal Impact Assessment Program (CIAP)

  4. Introduction The BAID CIAP Team Lars Nelson and Qaiyaan Aiken Craig Tweedie, postdoc, and students Allison Gaylord William Manley

  5. Background Coastal Erosion Climate Change Development Cultural and Environmental Impacts

  6. Background Goal Expand capacity for informed, multi- stakeholder environmental decision making on Ukpea vik I upiat Corporation lands in the coastal zone near Barrow, Alaska.

  7. Background Objectives 1. Create a new high-resolution map of wetlands, and conduct coastal erosion studies 1. Develop a new web mapping application to help with erosion monitoring, coastal development, and land management 1. Develop an office with newly trained staff in Barrow capable of improved local mapping and analytical capabilities

  8. Background UIC Lands

  9. Wetlands and Coastal Erosion

  10. Wetlands and Coastal Erosion New Landcover Map Layer NPR-A Landcover new 2013 data layer higher resolution entire UIC area wetlands and other land cover classes

  11. Wetlands and Coastal Erosion New Satellite Imagery 2002 QuickBird imagery new 2013 WorldView-2 imagery higher resolution entire UIC area basis for wetlands map and coastal erosion studies

  12. Wetlands and Coastal Erosion Coastal Erosion Analysis add new shorelines analyze rates of erosion identify areas of greatest impact

  13. Web Mapping Application

  14. Web Mapping Application Improve upon the old BAID new fast, stable, and intuitive interface more map layers more functionality decision making tools

  15. Web Mapping Application Targeted Web Map Apps Embedded tabs or tools : Time Slider, Erosion, Development Easy to use Visualize, save, print, and more Provide for informed decision making

  16. Web Mapping Application Existing Development & Land Ownership parcels

  17. Web Mapping Application Proximity to Eroding Shorelines distance from 2002 shoreline

  18. Web Mapping Application Height Above Sea Level Elevation Contours

  19. Wetlands and Coastal Erosion New Digital Elevation Model acquired by USGS in 2010 higher resolution coastal areas valuable for a variety of analyses USGS LIDAR DEM

  20. Wetlands and Coastal Erosion Historic Imagery 1948

  21. Wetlands and Coastal Erosion Historic Imagery 1955

  22. Wetlands and Coastal Erosion Historic Imagery 1962

  23. Wetlands and Coastal Erosion Historic Imagery 1964

  24. Wetlands and Coastal Erosion Historic Imagery 1979

  25. Wetlands and Coastal Erosion Historic Imagery 1997

  26. Wetlands and Coastal Erosion Historic Imagery 2002

  27. Local Expertise & Capacity One of the goals of the BAID Project is to build local GIS Capacity

  28. Local Expertise & Capacity UMIAQ Lars Nelson General project management & coordination, GIS Qaiyaan Aiken GIS technician hardware, software, training, improved local GIS capacity

  29. Local Expertise & Capacity Handbook and Outreach Advisory Council and community presentations Training for implementation Decision Support Tools Handbook facilitate long-term, community-wide use of BAID
