Demonstration of Our Coast-Our Future led by Kelley Higgason of the Gulf of the
Farallones National Marine Sanctuary and Michael Fitzgibbon, PRBO
Conservation Science.
Our Coast–Our Future (OCOF) provides San Francisco Bay Area planners and
managers with online maps and tools to help understand, visualize, and
anticipate vulnerabilities to sea level rise and storms. OCOF provides a
variety of information and tools needed to plan for changing Bay Area
shorelines including: seamless Digital Elevation Model (DEM) at 2 meter
horizontal resolution; 25 cm increment sea level rise projections between 0 - 2
meters with a 5 meter extreme; storm scenarios using the Coastal Storm Modeling
System (CoSMoS); and interactive maps overlaying infrastructure and ecosystem
vulnerabilities. Scenarios and decision support tools are currently available
for the North-central California coast and are anticipated to be available for
San Francisco Bay by Summer 2014. This webinar will provide information on how
these products were created as well as give a live demonstration of their
capabilities. Learn more at www.prbo.org/ocof.
