GeoFish - integration of fisheries models with GIS - ESRI UC2007 Paper

GeoFish – visualization and analysis of particle tracking model output for fish and shellfish larvae. ICES CM 2008/R:23

The spatial and temporal patterns of larval dispersion provide insights into the interplay between physical and biological processes in the ocean. These insights can guide the understanding of the early life history of a species and can become part of plans to manage and preserve the habitat of a fishery. Tracks for the dispersion of larvae are calculated by running a particle-tracking model on...

Integrating Oceanographic Models with Gis - Roms and Beyond

1. INTRODUCTION Models provide a way to understand and predict the behavior of natural systems. Ocean-atmosphere models such as the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) are intended to provide a multipurpose , multidisciplinary oceanic modeling tool. Fisheries models provide ways to study simplified versions of complex ecosystems. While models provide greater understanding, the results can be ...

GeoModeler - Integration of a nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton (NPZ) model and an individual-based model (IBM) with a geographic information system (GIS). ICES CM 2006/M:27

Ideally, spatial ecological models should be easily linked to a geographic information system (GIS). In the past, these two have not been well integrated for scientific uses. Lack of true integration hinders the ability of managers and scientists to create interactive, GIS-based models for management and research. However, GIS packages are starting to provide programming constructs, by exposing...

Procedural Modeling for Rapid-prototyping of Multiple Building Phases

RomeLab is a multidisciplinary working group at UCLA that uses the city of Rome as a laboratory for the exploration of research approaches and dissemination practices centered on the intersection of space and time in antiquity. In this paper we present a multiplatform workflow for the rapid-prototyping of historical cityscapes through the use of geographic information systems, procedural modeli...
