Demonstration of a Coastal Web Atlas Interoperability Prototype by Dawn Wright of Oregon State University\, Tanya Haddad of the Oregon Coastal Management Program\, and Liz O’Dea of the Washington State Department of Ecology (March 25\, 3 pm US EDT/Noon US PDT). Imagine being able to access coastal geographic data of all kinds from all over the world easily through a user-friendly web interface! The International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN) is a new informal group of organizations working towards this goal by scoping and implementing data interoperability approaches for Coastal Web Atlases. One of ICAN’s major goals is to help build a functioning digital atlas of the worldwide coast by organizing an interoperability network for the integration of locally-maintained Coastal Web Atlases. This work also has implications for global spatial data infrastructures and Internet mapping projects. During the webinar\, presenters will give an overview of ICAN and how to get involved and give a demonstration of a Coastal Web Atlas Interoperability Prototype. This tool is a proof-of-concept of how Coastal Web Atlases from different parts of the world can be linked. It demonstrates an easy way to search for coastal geographic data from any atlas that is connected to the ICAN Prototype.

This webinar will demonstrate how to make interactive and 3D maps using free Google mapping tools. It explores the basics of Google Earth and Google Maps with a focus on creating maps to share with others. With Google Earth\, you can show points\, lines and areas with colors and icons of your choice and link to webpages\, pictures and email addresses. Google Maps provides the ability to create a custom map online and share it with colleagues\, have them contribute to the map\, and embed your custom map in your own website. A training manual which walks users through how to use the Google Earth and Google Maps functionality demonstrated in this webinar is available from UNH’s Cooperative Extension at http\://extension.unh.edu/GISGPS/GISINFO.cfm?crs=18. Google Earth can be downloaded at http\://earth.google.com. Google Maps is available at http\://maps.google.com. This webinar is co-hosted by the EBM Tools Network\, the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension\, and the University of Connecticut Center for Land Use Education and Research.
