Interactive
Maps
Following
is a list of interactive online mapping applications
that were developed using the MapServer,
an OpenSource development environment for building spatially
enabled Internet applications. These particular
applications were developed to share our research results
with the Internet community. For instance, the
Minnesota and Twin Cities LakeBrowsers are online mapping
applications that display results from our remote sensing
of water resources project, where satellite imagery and
ground samples were used together to determine the water
clarity of all lakes in Minnesota.
Most of these
applications are easy to use, and their tools and functions
are similar to popular online mapping tools like MapQuest.

Minnesota
LakeBrowser
As everyone knows, Minnesota
is the "Land of 10,000 lakes" (and actually
a couple thousand more). This MapServer application
allows users to locate any lake in Minnesota and
determine its water clarity level. You may zoom in/out
and retrieve lake information from the Minnesota
DNR/PCA. |

Twin
Cities LakeBrowser
The Twin Cities LakeBrowser
functions similarily to the Minnesota LakeBrowser.
The only difference between these two MapServer applications
is the area of interest - the Twin Cities Metropolitan
Area in Minnesota.

Minnesota Post-Storm Research MapServer
The NE Minnesota Post-Storm

a windstorm that swept through northeast Minnesota
on July 4, 1999.
