Geospatial Portals

• Provide customer-focused solutions in an enterprise geospatial framework.
• Use CorpsMap and Web Services to provide real-time data analysis.
• Assist with regulatory actions and marine sanctuaries or critical habitats.
• Provide DoD with strategic maps and geospatial data resources.
• Manage the National Levee Database for future asset management risk analyses.

Geospatial Analytics

• Develop real-time data collection technologies that streamline field data collection and analysis efforts through database integration, analysis, and dissemination.
• Integrate geospatial data with business process data in the development of applied tools.
• Develop state-of-the-art ground, aerial, and marine-based LiDAR technologies and applications for terrain reconstruction and analysis.
• Manipulate project-scale and/or temporal-scale datasets spatially for characterization, evaluation, and remediation.
• Use remote sensing of the physical environment to identify and analyze holistic-scale information and efficiently disseminate it to stakeholders.

Wetlands Research

• Assist in wetlands delineation studies and training.
• Understand vegetation-soil relationships at a wetland boundary.
• Conduct strata analysis and develop stata definitions.
• Assist in increasing the reliability of wetland plant indicator statuses.
• Model "ordinary" discharge events in arid channels.

Uses for Spiral Development Models

• Guide multi-stakeholder concurrent engineering of software-intensive systems.
• Ensure interoperability and extensibility.
