Aaron Racicot’s Reprojected GIS Blog

(UPDATE: Ecotrust has asked me to remove material related to the Calzone and Gulf Tool.  Please feel free to contact Ecotrust directly to find out more about those tools)

I have been working on a new decision support tool for Ecotrust over the last few months, so today I decided to make some screen casts (with audio!) of some of our work.

Cal-Zone – Web based DST based on Marxan / Marzone for helping evaluate site selection of marine protected areas. Marxan / Marzone results are generated and stored in PostGIS for display via OpenLayers. New windowing functionality introduced to allow for future enhancements such as multi-run comparisons and use of region of interest tools for site selection.

Gulf Tool – Web based DST based around scenario development for Gulf of Mexico fisheries. Uses a Chameleon based frontend, Mapserver on the backend and all data storage and queries through PostGIS. GMT is used for graphing.

Just a snapshot into some of the DST development we are undertaking and very excited about. Hope you enjoy…

CUGOSians,

Hope all are well. I just wanted to send out a quick reminder that we will be having our first CUGOS meeting tomorrow (Wednesday – 03/21/07) at the Seattle LizardTech offices. We will kick things off at 5:30pm and wrap-up by 7pm. Some of us will most likely grab a beer near by after as well. Looks to be a great turnout with about 30 new people signed up!

I am really looking forward to meeting everyone and making these meetings a great venue for social interaction and learning for Open Source GIS professionals. See you all tomorrow!

Well, I am back again after being been hit by the Planet Geospatial Voodoo. James has been nice enough to go under the hood of the ever so sensative PG and re-link to my blog. Must have been dropped in the shuffle of the last few months, but rest assured I have not gone away. I have had some new info posted since last I was linked here and hope that some people find it useful…

Just posted an extended abstract for Coastal Zone 07 to take place in Portland OR July 22nd-26th. Great to get some more Open Source geospatial published…
