1. Web Map Services

• IUE provides GIS decision support tools that combine multiple layers of the ocean floor, topographical data, and weather services.

Enable rapid data transfer and visualization

True 3D ocean modeling

Following standardized

Protocols and models

2. Coastal Problems and Solutions

Always changing,

dynamic environment

Data is sparse and

stove-piped in databases

Not interoperable

Many devices, hard to data model

Takes too long to process and share

Transferred with CDs/DVDs/and ftp sites???

Breaking down the barriers for rapid data transfer
