Mike Info Coast - A GIS-Based Tool for Coastal Zone Management

  • Chapter
Coastal and Marine Geo-Information Systems

Part of the book series: Coastal Systems and Continental Margins ((CSCM,volume 4))

Abstract

MIKE INFO Coast is a product from the Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) specifically designed for the handling of coastal data. It is constructed as an extension to ArcView 3.0, and it thus has all the benefits of a GIS. Apart from geographical maps, MIKE INFO Coast handles data such as bathymetric surveys, coastal profiles, images and various types of hydrographical measurements (e.g. wind and wave data). With MIKE INFO Coast it is possible, in a user-friendly manner, to manipulate (heterogeneous) coastal data in various ways (e.g. calculation of volume changes from survey to survey). Reports and standard presentations for decision support can also be easily generated. Naturally, MIKE INFO Coast exchanges data with DHI’s other software products, such as LITPACK and MIKE 21.
