USGS (NBII) launches AmphibiaTrends

Blue Raster is pleased to announce the launch of AmphibiaTrends application for National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) – a part of USGS. Using ESRI ArcGIS Server and the Flex API, this application is a single source for information about the status and trends of U.S. amphibians. It provides one-stop access to information from diverse sources, including contextual information about natural history, taxonomy, and distribution, all within a single site for Amphibians in North America including frogs, salamanders, and newts.

AmphibiaTrendsLand managers and natural resource decision makers and researchers want to know about the status and trends of amphibian populations in the U.S.  Numerous amphibian monitoring programs collect this information at the national, regional and local levels.  AmphibiaTrends brings them together into one site, to give you easy access to current trends and status of our nation’s amphibians. Search by species, location, conservation status, or taxonomic order to view reports including distribution maps, detailed species and habitat descriptions and the latest trend information from the experts. Visit AmphibiaTrends today.

 

National Parks – Fredericksburg Battlefield

Blue Raster is working with the National Park Service and International Mapping to create an interactive modeling application for the Battle of Fredericksburg (1862) and the Battle of the Wilderness (1864).  Created using ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 and Flex API, the mapping tool will allow users to identify hotspots in the area as well as locations of damaged buildings, looting, bombardment, slaves, refugee sites, hospitals, and troop positions.  Users can link to interesting information from this map and can even change to a 3D view of the battlefield and of local objects and buildings.  A slide control will allow users to follow the troop movement in timed sequence throughout the encounter, and then they can click on each individual troop formation for information.  This interactive tool will serve as a virtual-park representation of this important Civil War battle for an area mostly developed with modern infrastructure.
