Abstract

This paper presents the second-year outcomes of our Digital Government project "Digitalization of Coastal Management and Decision Making Supported by Multi-Dimensional Geospatial Information and Analysis". One of the primary objectives of the second year is to develop and integrate multiple spaceborne, airborne, and in-situ remotely sensed measurements, spatio-temporal databases, coastal hydrological modeling, and geospatial information analysis for coastal management and decision making. The developed coastal management and decision-making system includes applications for coastal mapping and change detection, water surface modeling and analysis, on-site coastal management and decision-making, and web-based spatial data manipulation. Studies have also been conducted on uncertainties in the used coastal spatial data. The above system has been tested at a pilot site along Ohio's Lake Erie shore and is to be applied to a new test site in Tampa Bay, Florida.
