Building Setback and Stable Slope Angle Calculators

University of Wisconsin Land Information and Computer Graphics Facility, Wisconsin Sea Grant

Produced by the University of Wisconsin Land Information & Computer Graphics Facility and the Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute, the building setback calculator and the stable slope angle calculator are web-based tools intended to inform users who are making decisions in regards to the development or purchase of property along the bluff top.

CanVis

NOAA Coastal Service Center, USDA National Agroforestry Center

CanVis is a visualization program used to "see" potential impacts from coastal development or lake level changes. Users can download background pictures and insert the objects (hotel, house, marina, or other objects) of their choosing. The software is used by municipalities to brainstorm new ideas and policies, undertake project planning, and make presentations.

Climate Change Atlas

USDA Forest Service

The Climate Change Atlas documents the current and possible future distribution of 134 tree species and 147 bird species in the Eastern United States.

Climate Resilience Evaluation and Awareness Tool (CREAT)

US Evironmental Protection Agency (US EPA)

This risk assessment tool allows water utilities to evaluate potential impacts of climate change. You can also identify adaptation options to address impacts using both traditional risk assessment and scenario-based methods. CREAT provides:

Climate Wizard

The Nature Conservancy

Developed through collaboration between The Nature Conservancy, The University of Washington, and The University of Southern Mississippi, the Climate Wizard enables technical and non-technical audiences alike to easily and intuitively access leading climate change information and visualize the impacts anywhere on Earth.

Coastal Climate Adaptation Website

NOAA Office for Coastal Management

Conceptualized and managed by NOAA-OCM, this web-based resource is meant to help build a network of practioners at any echelon of government who work on coastal and climate related issues, by providing them with a venue for discussion and knowledge sharing.

Coastal County Snapshots

NOAA Coastal Service Center

Coastal County Snapshots turn complex data into easy-to-understand stories, complete with charts and graphs. Users select a coastal county of interest and the website does the rest, providing information that can help communities become more resilient to coastal hazards.

Coastal Planning Advisor

NOAA Office for Coastal Management

Targeted towards local government planning and decision-making, the NOAA's Office for Coastal Management (NOAA-OCM) has designed the Coastal Planning Advisor to encourage collaborative process design and connect decision makers to the resources necessary to make informed choices.

Coastal Resilience - Future Scenarios Mapper

The Nature Conservancy

The Coastal Resilience mapping tool is a unique interactive decision support tool that explores future flooding scenarios caused by sea level rise and storm surge for Long Island and Connecticut coastal areas.

Econ 120: Two Minutes of Economic Sense

NOAA Office for Coastal Management

As a part of the Digital Coast initiative, NOAA's Office for Coastal Management has produced a brief video series to help unmask the oftentimes-confusing discussion of formal economic principles and reveal the common sense hidden beneath the jargon. Topics covered include: externalities, value, and economic indicators.
