Background
“Protect Alaska’s coastal areas through wise management of resource
development.”
Goal:
Background
Alaska CIAP
Conduct projects that will lead to development of effective mitigation strategies and efficient and responsible resource management:
• Acquiring baseline data• Analyzing cumulative impacts• Gathering information useful to determine impacts of mining, oil and• gas, and other development• Mitigating adverse environmental impacts of development• Training coastal managers• Educate the public and enhance environmental stewardship• Improving the ability to implement the Alaska Coastal Management• Program (ACMP)
Minimize impacts of natural hazards on coastal areas: • Restoring coastal areas impacted by natural hazards• Mapping and researching natural hazard areas

Major Activities:
Background
Alaska CIAP
“Expand capacity for informed, multi-
stakeholder environmental decision making on
Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corporation lands in the
coastal zone near Barrow, Alaska.”
Goal:
Background
BAID Decision Support Tools Development
1. Develop a high spatial resolution map of wetlands and conduct coastal erosion studies
2. Expand on an existing web mapping application to develop a new interactive decision support tool for erosion monitoring and coastal development and land management
3. Develop an office with newly trained staff in Barrow capable of improved local mapping and analytical capabilities

Drivers of Coastal Change
• Arctic warming
• Changes in weather and extreme events
• Sea level rise
• Coastal engineeringDevelopmentBeach gravel extractionErosion mitigation
Your expertise is requested …
… for guidance on new tools to assist the Barrow community with decision making and optimization of sustainable, low-impact community development.

Wetlands and Coastal Erosion
Wetlands and Coastal Erosion
New Landcover Map Layer
• new 2013 data layer• higher resolution• entire UIC area• wetlands and other
land cover classes
NPR-A Landcover
Wetlands and Coastal Erosion 2002 QuickBird imagery
New Satellite Imagery
• new 2013 WorldView-2 imagery• higher resolution• entire UIC area• basis for wetlands map
and coastal erosionstudies
Wetlands and Coastal Erosion
Coastal Erosion Analysis
• add new shorelines• analyze rates of erosion• identify areas of
greatest impact

Web Mapping Application
Web Mapping Application
Improve upon the old BAID
• new fast, stable, and intuitive interface
• more map layers• more functionality• decision making tools
outdated parcelsWeb Mapping Application
Existing Development & Land Ownership
distance from 2002 shorelineWeb Mapping Application
Proximity to Eroding Shorelines
Elevation ContoursWeb Mapping Application
Height Above Sea Level
Web Mapping Application
Targeted “Web Map Apps”
• Embedded as tabs or “tools”
• Easy to use
• Focused on specific user needs
• Designed to fit within a workflow
• Provide for informed decision making
Web Mapping Application
Community Development Tool
To assist with NSB and community taskscoastal development, conservation priorities, endangered and subsistence
species protection, oil spill response, planning and zoning for vulnerable
areas, etc.
Visualize and synthesize from map layers and other inputexisting development, land ownership, wetland types, habitat preference for
endangered wildlife, height above sea level, etc.
Provide specific output for printing or saving maps, information,
and reports
Help enable sustained community development
Web Mapping Application
Erosion Assessment Tool
Help assess vulnerability
Take advantage of digital shorelines and other data layersland cover type, bathymetry, sea ice, etc.
Potentially with “widgets” to interactively customize analysis of
erosion rates
Help enable sustained community development
