Wright, D.J., Blongewicz, M.J., Halpin, P.N. and Breman, J., 2007. Arc Marine: GIS for a Blue Planet, Redlands, CA: ESRI Press, 202 pp. ISBN 978-1-58948-017-9
At a time when the health of our oceans is seen as crucial to our very
existence, marine researchers have developed a data model that supports
seafloor mapping, fisheries management, marine mammal tracking, monitoring of
shoreline change, and water temperature analysis. Our ability to measure
change in oceans and along coasts has increased as marine GIS has grown more
complex. Arc Marine: GIS for a Blue Planet presents the initial results
of a successful effort to create and define a data model for the marine
community—that group of academic, government, military, and private
oceanographers, resource managers, conservationists, geographers,
nautical archaeologists and others who support better management of complex
spatial analysis in marine applications. The data model not only provides
structure to storing and analyzing marine data but helps users create maps and
3-dimensional scenes of the marine environment in ways invaluable to decision
making. The standards and best practices that emerged from the case studies
in Arc Marine: GIS for a Blue Planet help form a diverse set of resources to draw from as the
marine community strives to understand, illuminate, chart, and explore the
unknown depths. As a teaching tool, Arc Marine: GIS for a Blue Planet serves as a perfect
starting point for the intermediate student or as a resource for the expert in
marine GIS and its implementation.
