Wisconsin Coastal Guide
http://www.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. Support for the project was provided by the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program.
Hydrologic Dashboard
http://maps.aqua.wisc.edu/hydrologicDashboard/
The hydrologic dashboard links web mapping and data visualization to support exploration of past rainstorm events in the Fox-Wolf River watershed in Wisconsin. Development of the dashboard was funded by the Institute for the Application of Geospatial Technology with support from NASA.
Lake Superior Coastal Mapping Portal
http://maps.aqua.wisc.edu/lscmp/
The Lake Superior Coastal Mapping Portal promotes the development of a 'dynamic and distributed' geographic information system to support integrated coastal management along the Lake Superior coast of Wisconsin. Funding was provided by the NOAA Coastal Services Center.
Lake Michigan Coastal Mapping Portal
http://maps.aqua.wisc.edu/lmcmp/
This website promotes the concept of a “dynamic and distributed" geographic information system (GIS) for the Lake Michigan coast of Wisconsin. A dynamic and distributed GIS is one where data custodians, whether representing local, regional, state, or federal governments, academic institutions, or the non-profit or commercial sectors, maintain and provide access to the most current geospatial data and users can access and integrate these data in real-time from multiple remote sources to support decision-making.
