- Cultural and Environmental Impacts Climate Change Coastal
Erosion Development Background
- Slide 7
- Protect Alaskas coastal areas through wise management of
resource development. Goal: Background Alaska CIAP
- Slide 8
- Conduct projects that will lead to development of effective
mitigation strategies and efficient and responsible resource
management: Acquiring baseline data Analyzing cumulative impacts
Gathering information useful to determine impacts of mining, oil
and gas, and other development Mitigating adverse environmental
impacts of development Training coastal managers Educate the public
and enhance environmental stewardship Improving the ability to
implement the Alaska Coastal Management Program (ACMP) Minimize
impacts of natural hazards on coastal areas: Restoring coastal
areas impacted by natural hazards Mapping and researching natural
hazard areas Objectives: Background Alaska CIAP
- Slide 9
- Baseline data and mapping Climate change Community Capacity
Alaska Coastal Management Program Education Major Activities:
Background Alaska CIAP
- Slide 10
- Expand capacity for informed, multi- stakeholder environmental
decision making on Ukpeavik Iupiat Corporation lands in the coastal
zone near Barrow, Alaska. Goal: Background BAID Decision Support
Tools Development
- Slide 11
- 1.Develop a high spatial resolution map of wetlands and conduct
coastal erosion studies 1.Expand on an existing web mapping
application to develop a new interactive decision support tool for
erosion monitoring and coastal development and land management
1.Develop an office with newly trained staff in Barrow capable of
improved local mapping and analytical capabilities Objectives:

- Web Mapping Application
- Slide 27
- Improve upon the old BAID new fast, stable, and intuitive
interface more map layers more functionality decision making
tools
- Slide 28
- outdated parcels Web Mapping Application Existing Development
& Land Ownership
- Slide 29
- distance from 2002 shoreline Web Mapping Application Proximity
to Eroding Shorelines
- Slide 30
- Elevation Contours Web Mapping Application Height Above Sea
Level
- Slide 31
- Web Mapping Application Targeted Web Map Apps Embedded as tabs
or tools Easy to use Focused on specific user needs Designed to fit
within a workflow Provide for informed decision making
- Slide 32
- Web Mapping Application Community Development Tool To assist
with NSB and community tasks coastal development, conservation
priorities, endangered and subsistence species protection, oil
spill response, planning and zoning for vulnerable areas, etc.
Visualize and synthesize from map layers and other input existing
development, land ownership, wetland types, habitat preference for
endangered wildlife, height above sea level, etc. Provide specific
output for printing or saving maps, information, and reports Help
enable sustained community development
- Slide 33
- Web Mapping Application Erosion Assessment Tool Help assess
vulnerability Take advantage of digital shorelines and other data
layers land cover type, bathymetry, sea ice, etc. Potentially with
widgets to interactively customize analysis of erosion rates Help
enable sustained community development
- Slide 34
- Local Expertise & Capacity One of the goals of the BAID
Project is to build local GIS Capacity
