Web Mapping Applications

University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute

The University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute applies geospatial technologies to support sustainable management of the Great Lakes. Web mapping is one of the geospatial tools used to better understand the Great Lakes ecosystem. Both commercial and open source web mapping software have been used in this effort.

Wisconsin Coastal Atlas

The Wisconsin Coastal Atlas is an innovative web resource that helps people better understand coastal issues, share coastal data, and inform decision-making about sustainable use of the Great Lakes.

Wisconsin Coastal Guide
http://wisconsincoastalguide.org/

The Great Lakes Circle Tour leads you around the largest freshwater system on the planet but the main route often takes you far from the water's edge. The Wisconsin Coastal Guide shows you where to pull off the highway for a quiet beach, a hidden lighthouse, or a secluded park.

The hydrologic dashboard links web mapping and data visualization to explore the spatial pattern of large rainstorm events in the Fox-Wolf River watershed in Wisconsin.
