Abstract
 GeoModeler--Linking GIS and Oceanographic Models Track: Ocean, Coastal, and Marine Resources Author(s): Christopher Moore, Tiffany Vance, Nazila Merati, Sharon Mesick In responding to crises, researchers need to gather data, define interactions and model systems. Two important tools are the use of decision support models and geographic information systems. These two tools have not been well integrated for scientific uses. GIS packages are starting to expose code and objects to allow coupling of core GIS functionality and analytical/modeling tools. Through the use of Java-based APIs, a GIS is directly linked with models. ArcGIS Engine and ArcObjects are used to communicate with an ArcGIS software-based front end. The front end provides both setup--allowing the user to specify the datasets to be used, the weights for elements of the model and the output desired--and for display--showing the results of the model run in a map or other spatial output.
