LÍNEA DE COSTA Y SISTEMAS DE INFORMACIÓN GEOGRÁFICA: MODELO DE DATOS PARA LA CARACTERIZACIÓN Y CÁLCULO DE INDICADORES EN LA COSTA ANDALUZA

Coastline and geographical information systems: data model for the andalusian coast characterization and coastal indicators estimation The coastline is a key element for coastal planning and management, however, its digitalisation at fine scales requires a precise geometric delimitation and a rigorous criteria establishment for its definition. The criteria selection should be based on the work purpose and future applications. In this sense, Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques, spatial databases and an appropriate data model for the database design are key elements that enable establishing a work flow for coastlines digitalisation and subsequent analyses. This paper presents a methodology for the Andalusia coastline definition and positioning at fine scale (1:2.500) using specific criteria for the coastline digitalisation and a data model for the spatial database design. The digitalisation and data entry in the database were carried out through ortho-photos

Geovisualización de escenarios de cambio climático para Andalucía: diseño del geovisor cambia.climasig.es

This paper presents the results of research carried out for the development of a GeoVisor designed for exploitation and dissemination of data of regional climate change scenarios for Andalusia. This GeoVisor is based on the generation of interoperable OGC display. This work is the result of collaboration between the Group of Climatology Department of Physical Geography of the University of Seville and the Environment and Spatial Planning Administration of the Andalusian Government. J.M. CAMARILLO NARANJO, et al. 430 The knowledge generated in terms of techniques geovisualization BIG DATA space has been transferred to the Environmental Information Network of Andalusia (REDIAM), in order to be able to be applied to other areas of the climatological and environmental information. The input data come from the regionalized scenarios for Andalusia from techniques of statistical downscalling, from modeling (3 models CNMC3, ECHAM5 and EGMAN) and scenarios IV Report of the IPCC (A1B, A2 and B1). This work has involved the implementation of a spatial database of high volume and difficult handling has required the development of a new line of research and development that would allow the analysis and processing of data accumulated for exploitation and dissemination. The result of this collaboration is a GeoVisor that provides access to the region, at a resolution of 200 meters, scenarios average temperature and precipitation for three time horizons (2011-2040, 2041-2070, 20712100) combining models, scenarios and corresponding indicators of change.

Development of an application to calculate marine crustacean migration routes

The knowledge about the migration movements of commercial species of crustaceans is of a great importance in the management of their fisheries. There is no complete technological solution for the research of detailed migration routes, but data loggers which record environmental parameters are broadly used and available at reasonable prices. The application developed in this work will allow researchers to infer migration routes of benthic animals, using depth recorded by data loggers in combination with bathymetry models of the study areas.
