GIS & Aerial Photography

The Coastal Resources Management Program utilizes Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Aerial Photography to effectively manage the coastal zones. Some current and past activities of interest include:

Application of a remote sensing technology called Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) to determine bluff recession
Use of GPS (Global Positioning System) and GIS technology to record and analyze control point monitoring for bluff recession rates
Multi-year photointerpretation for wetland monitoring
Locating and tracking CRM grant projects
Maintaining GIS datasets for performance measures tracking to NOAA
