  1. Scenario Discussion II: InSEAM, a tool for community mapping and more Rich Sharp

  2. InSEAMOverview • InSEAM: InVESTSEnArioModeler • Not related to InVEST… yet. • Developed as a tool to gather stakeholder based geospatial information for NatCap site projects. • Dive sites in Belize • Tourist destinations in Vancouver Island • Ft. Lewis scenarios

  3. Gathering Geospatial Stakeholder Information:The Old Way • Determine base information for map • Print maps • Mail maps to stakeholders • Stakeholders physically draw on maps • Mail maps back to NatCap • Digitize stakeholder maps into GIS (Expect this to take months)

  4. Now, with InSEAM • Determine base information for stakeholder map • Build an InSEAM distribution with base map • Email an InSEAM URL to collaborators • Gather information, usually over a conference call • Import stakeholder information directly into GIS (data gathering is no longer a bottleneck)

  5. InSEAM Usage InSEAM – Remote Collaborators Collaborators mark up their own local maps that include orienting base data InSEAM –Overview Map Base team and collaborators can see all the annotations from remote collaborators on a single map in real time Can be viewed in multiple online sites Amy in Columbia Internet - Mary “Please turn on satellite layer” Nasser in Dominican Republic -Anne: “Looks good” - Peter “More data!” Kent in Mexico - Heather: “Amy, agregarmásdatos” Amy: “bueno, Heather” Katie in Peru

  6. InSEAM Examples • Belize: goo.gl/dRRLf • Cauca Valley: goo.gl/vYf41 • Ft. Lewis: goo.gl/ZAK18 • Lets all draw on this one

  7. InSEAM Tradeoffs • Easy to collaborate on vector layer construction • Easy to display basemaps and scenarios without the overhead of an ArcGIS Server • Is not a replacement for a desktop GIS application • InSEAM users need a broadband Internet connection • InSEAM distributions need to be deployed via NatCap software team for the moment • Email me if you want to collaborate on one! richsharp@stanford.edu

  8. Where is InSEAM Going? • InSEAM will play a user interface role in an online InVESTframework. • Results of InVEST runs may be displayed as scenarios. • User layers may aggregate InVEST runs. • Remote users will be able to configure and distribute custom InSEAM sites. • Users can download subsets of shapes as ESRI Shapefiles.

  9. Discussion: Could InSEAM be useful to you? • Talk about whether this sort of tool could be useful for your project. • What additional features might you want? • General questions are good too!
