Project Description: The NPS seeks to support and use innovative and scientifically valid methods of resource analysis and effective means of communication regarding resource management decisions. This project aims to increase the University of Rhode Island’s Environmental Data Center’s (EDC) understanding of using web technology to provide staff in remote offices and/or in the field with ready access to GIS content and functionality, sustain the EDC’s technical currency, and support the underlying mission, to enable technical knowledge transfer, as geospatial technology and user needs evolve.
The primary objectives of this project include completing an initial operational web GIS implementation for one NER park unit, including core content, basic relevant functionality, training and support enabling park staff to: a. view, query and print maps and related information about key resources and other park features, as necessary; and b. coordinate with the NER GIS Program to support park-specific geospatial data management requirements.
