CanVis: A Tool for Visualizing Coastal Changes and Potential Adaptation Strategies

Wednesday, February 6, 2013

2 to 3 p.m. Eastern Time

Presenter(s): Adam Bode, NOAA Coastal Services Center

“A picture is worth a thousand words.” That popular phrase sums up why a photo-realistic image showing coastal change leaves a much bigger impact on an audience than simple graphs and charts. If you want to show coastal changes, not just talk about them, CanVis can help. This easy-to-use image-editing software allows users with minimal computer skills to create photo-realistic images of changes such as coastal development, sea level rise, shoreline erosion, offshore wind turbines, and many other conditions. People create CanVis simulations by using digital photographs along with CanVis’ extensive library to add buildings, infrastructure (marinas, roads, etc.), natural elements (trees, water, etc.), and many other features.

In this webinar participants will

  • Learn about the basics of CanVis
  • Hear how CanVis can be used to brainstorm new ideas and policies, undertake project planning, and make presentations
  • See a demonstration using CanVis and its image libraries
