CanVis
CanVis is a simple software program that allows users to visualize potential impacts of coastal development or climate change (inundation, SLR) allowing conservation planners and stakeholders to better understand the impacts of their decisions.
Coastal County Snapshots
Coastal County Snapshots turn complex data into accessible stories, complete with charts and graphs, to support climate change communication and planning.
Coastal Inundation Mapping
NOAA’s Coastal Inundation Mapping is a hands-on computer course that enables users to identify areas susceptible to flood inundation. This course teaches participants about the different types of coastal inundation, ways to map flood areas in the coastal environment, data and methodology limitations, and practical ways to apply this information to support state and local planning efforts. These efforts can further targeted land conservation in order to mitigate storm and flood impacts.
Coastal Resilience
The Nature Conservancy’s Coastal Resilience Network provides geographically targeted resources to address ecological and socio-economic risks of coastal hazards through raising awareness, assessing risk, identifying choices, and taking action.
Coastal Resilience Index
The Coastal Resilience Index tool helps communities examine how prepared they are for storms and storm recovery. To complete the assessment, community leaders can get together and use the tool to guide discussion about their community’s resilience to coastal hazards.
July 4th Extremes
If there’s one thing that won’t change about this year’s July 4th celebrations, it’s the heat. Over the past year, there were 49 all-time record highs (according to NCEI) across the U.S., compared with just 2 record lows.
NASA Data Power New USDA Soil Moisture Portal
New NASA tool provides information that will help people track droughts or floods, make plans for when to plant crops, and forecast agricultural yields.
NASA Fosters Innovative Ways to Understand Biodiversity
NASA is creating portals with biodiversity information for scientists, land managers, and decision makers to support conservation in a changing climate.
National Clearinghouse and Data Portals Collection
Environmental and natural resource data access points from many areas of the U.S. are provided in this resource from NOAA’s Digital Coast. Data access and visualization are usually provided through an online mapping interface or website. The types of data available vary but may include layers for statewide boundaries, transportation, imagery, elevation, recreation, and geographic names, among others. This geospatial data can be helpful in supporting initial resource mapping for conservation planning purposes.
