Development of a Web-based System to Geoenable NER Parks and Programs

Project Description: Faculty, students, and staff at URI will work jointly with NPS staff to research and design a web-mapping platform and applications, compliant with emerging NPS standards and policy, that are both sustainable and useful in the land management context typical of NER sites. This research focuses on the practical efficacy and policy implications of using emerging technology to address resource management objectives, particularly for sites that are small, staff-limited, remote, or all of these. The cooperator’s research on the design of analytical and communication tools that utilize geospatial content and operate in a distributed web-based environment informs their development of experimental techniques addressing the types of resource management issues occurring on many public lands. In this case, selected NER park “real world conditions” provide (1) input to the design criteria and (2) validation sites at which to test both hypotheses and functional components of their designs.
