Demos
Demo I – bioregion and convening
- Simple: very stripped down MarineMap
- Tool to explore bioregions
- Various factors (Tempurature, precipitation, language, etc) used as user defined input to model
- GRASS is the backend for the model. Based on wrapper of GRASS that makes shell calls.
- Model returns bioregion based on least-cost analysis
- User can refine parameters
- Can edit, move, refine, share results
- Once bioregion is defined, reports are available (Climate Change, Socio-economic, Natural hazards) done with PostGIS
- Working with Global datasets for analysis was a challenge
- Probably rebrand MarineMap as a general purpose spatial platform sometime in the future
- Uses Google Earth browser plugin
Demo II - eCatch
- Mobile - needs Chrome, Safari, or other WebKitSDK browser
- Continue across the street
