Greetings,

 

An International Coastal Atlas Network meeting focusing on the Great Lakes
will be held from September 13-15, 2010 at the Pyle Center on the University
of Wisconsin-Madison campus in Madison, Wisconsin.  The meeting will bring
together people who are interested in developing Coastal Web Atlases (CWAs)
and linking them to analyze coastal issues at a broader scale.  

 

The International Coastal Atlas Network (http://icoastalatlas.net/) serves a
global reference for the development of CWAs.  The Great Lakes meeting will
be the fifth ICAN meeting since 2006.  Previous meetings were held in
Ireland, Oregon, Denmark, and Italy.  

 

The ICAN-Great Lakes meeting will open on the afternoon of Monday, September
13th with an overview of ICAN and CWAs and will feature a showcase of mature
coastal atlases with a focus on their impacts.  The morning of the second
day will explore use cases for interoperable coastal atlases, addressing
topics such as marine spatial planning and climate adaptation.  The
afternoon will focus on building regional/thematic networks of coastal
atlases and will explore how CWAs relate to initiative such as the Digital
Coast and the Integrated Ocean Observing System.  The afternoon session will
also include a demonstration of integration of Great Lakes data from
distributed sources to support decision-making.  The technical session on
the morning of Wednesday, September 15th provides training on implementing
interoperable web map services and catalogs for CWAs led by Tom Kralidis of
Environment Canada.  There is a separate registration fee for this session
and space is limited.
