Title: Integrating Geospatial Tools to Build a Comprehensive Shoreline Geodatabase Along Ohio’s Lake Erie Coast
Presenters: Emma Bouie* (Ohio State University) and Brian George (ODNR Office of Coastal Management)
* Primary Presenter
In 2014, the ODNR Office of Coastal Management (OCM) began working to develop a comprehensive GIS inventory of Lake Erie shore structures. Ohio’s 312-mile coast is regarded as one of the most hardened lengths of shore in the Great Lakes. In total, over 9,600 shore structure polygons have been digitized, including submerged relic structures. The effort to build a more robust coastal geodatabase was inspired by this initial work. In 2022, OCM offered a fellowship opportunity to an Ohio State University graduate student to take on the next phase of the project. Development of the geodatabase has since progressed by leveraging current aerial and oblique photography, bathymetric data, and land cover data. The user-friendly geodatabase framework integrates the original shore structure shapefile with a shore armoring/hardening metric and a beach/bluff vegetation cover feature class. It is the intent to also link additional datasets and future scientific studies on beach, bluff, and nearshore geomorphic and habitat changes to the database.
THE 13TH ANNUAL 2024 NORTHEAST OHIO GIS SYMPOSIUM
The Ohio Valley Chapter of URISA and The Northeast Ohio Geospatial Education and Outreach (NEOGEO) are teaming up with OGRIP and GUONO to bring you the 13th Annual Northeast Ohio GIS Symposium!
For the last twelve years, the Northeast Ohio GIS Symposium has brought together hundreds of GIS practitioners, vendors, and other geospatial communities to exchange ideas of new uses, best practices, and cutting-edge technologies in the GIS world. This year’s conference is poised to bring the northeast Ohio GIS community together with our colleagues from around the county to share ideas, learn best practices, and gain insights into the use of GIS technology for their work.
This Symposium is brought to you by geospatial professionals for geospatial professionals and our friends.
Visit the NEOGEO website for further information on the 2024 Northeast Ohio GIS Symposium.
CALL FOR SPEAKERS will close on March 31st, 2024. For more details and to submit your presentation, click here: NEOhioGIS.org/call_for_Speakers
