  1. GRANIT Update Fay Rubin Complex Systems Research Center Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space University of New Hampshire Rockingham Planning Commission Seacoast Science Center September 20, 2007

  2. What is GRANIT? • Central GIS Data Clearinghouse at UNH Complex Systems Research Center • Core Activities: • Data development/archiving/serving/distribution • Coordination/standards development • Spatial data analysis • Training and technical support • Multiple Data Providers and Data Users • State government • Federal agencies • Regional planning agencies • Municipalities • Multiple Funding Sources • Private sector • Non-profit organizations • Academic community

  3. Current Projects Data Development/Maintenance Conservation Lands Floodplains Road Centerlines - I93 Surficial Geology High Resolution Photography Land Use – I93 Applications Natural Services Network Northern Forest Center Municipal Pilot Project NHLS Town Monuments Site Wildlife Sitings Site Community Assets – CAPMap CICEET – Land Use Planning Tools Web Services Data Distribution Image Server Data Mapper Standards Development Land Use Mapping Digital Parcel Standards Training/Technical Support CommunityViz Technical Resource Ctr.

  4. Overview of the Data Mapper • Purpose: The NH GRANIT Data Mapper is a web-based mapping tool offering New Hampshire's communities, agencies and organizations, and the general public access to a comprehensive collection of geospatial data archived in GRANIT. • Funded by: New Hampshire Charitable Foundation/New Hampshire GIS Conservation Collaborative http://mapper.granit.unh.edu

  5. System Requirements OS: Windows 98, 2000, XP Browsers: • Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher (*produces best results) • Firefox 1.5 or higher • Netscape Communicator 7.1 or higher OS: Linux Browsers: • Firefox 1.0.7 or higher OS: Macintosh Browsers: • Firefox 1.0.6 • Camino 0.8.4

  6. System Requirements Display • Minimum screen resolution: 1024 x 760 Other • WinZip, or equivalent software, for file download • Flash 6.0 or greater (for viewing demonstration videos) • Ensure pop-up blocker is turned off.

  7. Data Themes: Base Map, Water Resources, Land Conservation, Soils, Floodplains, Transportation Coming Soon: Wildlife Habitat, Geodetic Control, Natural Services Network GRANIT Data Mapper “I work with the conservation commissions of over 78 municipalities and I use your program a lot and share it with them. It is a wonderful tool. “ Steve Walker, Office of Energy and Planning “Your sites’ aerial maps with roads and streams identified are very useful.  Our service area is all of NH and VT.  Is there a similar resource for maps in VT? “ Nancy Lyon, President, New England K-9 Search & Rescue, New London, NH “This is a great site for sportsmen.  I use your topos lots!” Paul Antkow,  4thebrdz@adelphia.net “I’ve just been playing with the system a little – we used a topo map as a background a few weeks back – and I’m surprised at how much can be done with it.” Donna Moxley, Features Editor, Keene Sentinel http://mapper.granit.unh.edu

  8. Some “basics” … The help system: • General • Context sensitive • Videos Concept of themes Layers - Visible vs. Active “Apply” button

  9. User session …

  10. Future enhancements • Maintenance of data layers – roads, conservation lands, soils, etc. • New data sets – high resolution imagery • New modules – wildlife, control monuments, Natural Service Network • Passing coordinates to other sites - wildlife observations site, NHLSA site • Refined graphing options – graph subset of features • Closer links to data distribution • Additional map output formats

  11. Land Use Project Overview • Objective: Develop detailed land use data from the 2005 aerial imagery (1-foot resolution) • Complex Systems Research Center role: • Coordinate development of project standards • Provide training in aerial photo interpretation • Assemble regional data sets and mosaic into corridor-wide data set • Produce final data set, final map, and data documentation • Provide technical support through project • Regional Planning Commissions’ role: • Actively participate in standards development • Apply standards and protocols to generate regional land cover data set • Conduct QC to verify data accuracy • Produce town-based maps from regional composite • Data will be available for download from GRANIT web site in October, 2007

  13. Land Use Classification 59 land use classes: 45 developed 14 agriculture/forest/wetlands/barren

  14. Integrating Geospatial and Web-Based Technologies to Improve Land Use Planning in Coastal New Hampshire Fay Rubin, Project Director Complex Systems Research Center, University of New Hampshire Dr. William A. Salas, Co-Director Applied Geosolutions, LLC Shade Bradt, Geospatial Extension Specialist Cooperative Extension, University of New Hampshire Sylvia von Aulock, Town Planner Exeter, NH Jill Robinson, Senior Planner Rockingham Planning Commission Amanda Stone, Julia Peterson, NROC Cooperative Extension, University of New Hampshire Project support provided by:

  15. Prior CICEET project

  16. Project Objective Develop toolbox of resources to aid communities in land use planning Specific activities: • Assemble existing relevant geospatial data sets for our pilot community(ies), and develop required elements to support remaining project objectives • Evaluate, refine and implement land use change forecast models as a decision support tool for land use planning • Refine and implement algorithm for the estimation of impervious surface coefficients • Identify and adapt previously developed resource identification models to the ArcGIS ModelBuilder format to aid in identification and analysis of coastal community resources • Design web tools for displaying maps of development pressures, threats to water quality, and land use information • Make all data products accessible within CommunityViz and other existing geospatial products
