The promotion of geospatial technology to improve coastal communities is the goal of the researchers involved with workforce training for technical and nontechnical users in geographic information systems (GIS), development of web-based geospatial tools for enhanced visualization and data dissemination, and creation of geospatial data. This effort serves the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) with development of high-resolution hydrography datasets. Two mobile classrooms offer workshops with both commercial and open source software covering topics from introductory GIS to multi-user database systems (https://www.gri.msstate.edu/GEO/). GeoCoast 3D Coastal Inundation Visualization application evaluates impacts of sea level rise on traffic patterns and infrastructure accessibility (http://geoproject.hpc.msstate.edu/GeoCoast3D/). A web-based GIS application for public use is compatible with all operating systems and provides tools to create data and text overlays as well as upload spatial datasets from GPS units (https://geoproject.hpc.msstate.edu/GeoDawg). Current application development efforts are focused on augmented reality for GeoCoast and multi-criteria decision analysis for coastal watershed erosion.
