3D Visualization of Coastal Resources
This website explores the use of World Construction Set software to visualize
development along coastal bluffs and how bluff erosion may impact coastal structures,
including: - Development of a computer-based visualization tool to show existing
development in a three-dimensional view for a section of Lake Michigan
bluff in Ozaukee County.
- Development of a visualization tool to view how Lake
Michigan bluffs have eroded over time using digital elevation models derived
from historical photography.
- Exploration
of methods for visualization of bluff erosion into the future.

Visualizing Coastal Erosion on the Great Lakes -- Ozaukee County Wisconsin
Information
gathered by scientists about coastal processes is often very technical in nature
and, therefore, difficult to communicate to coastal landowners and local officials. UW
Sea Grant is collaborating on a project, headed by Prof. Mark Harrower of the
UW-Madison Geography Department, that is designed to bridge the gap between
scientific understanding and public perception by utilizing Web-based geovisualization
tools and remotely-sensed data to present integrated and scientifically informed
views of coastal erosion. The project, set on the Lake Michigan shore,
will create an educational website that utilizes cutting-edge Web-based geovisualization
tools and techniques to represent dynamic coastal processes, allowing users
to explore the factors that lead to coastal erosion. Coastal Hazards Resource Guide
This
resource guide consolidates information about natural hazards affecting the
Great Lakes coast in Wisconsin. It includes general information and
links to other sites about techniques to manage or mitigate coastal hazards
and strategies developed by government institutions to address coastal hazards
in Wisconsin.

Erosion GIS Application for the Town of Mosel, Sheboygan County
Geographic information systems (GIS) may be utilized to more effectively
manage development in the coastal zone. This GIS application assesses coastal
erosion impacts and explores management issues related to shoreland development
in the Town of Moselin northern SheboyganCounty.
