Demo’s of new web mapping decision support tools…
(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…

This is great stuff - really exciting. For the Cal-Zone work are you using XUL or is that DHTML goodness?

Aaron,
Your Cal-Zone app is very cool. You might find it funny that my agency’s Web monitoring software (WebSense) classified your blog as ‘Inappropriate Adult Materal’. I had to petition to get the link unblocked…

Nice work Aaron! That’s fantastic. I know a bunch of ecology modeling folks who would love to see this but I’m afraid it might set their expectations too high
So what js framework did you use for the windowing interface?
