Title:

Bay Area Aquatic Resources Inventory- LEVEL 1 Mapping

Speakers:

Kristen Cayce and Andy Richardson

Location:

2nd Floor Conference room

Abstract:

As part of the BAARI mapping effort, we developed a geospatial model that calculates functional riparian areas
based on several data inputs. These data represent the physical processes that contribute to that riparian function. Currently, the model maps two functional riparian areas, vegetation and hillslope.

Meet the developer Andy Richardson as he discusses the technical specs behind the model, the challenges and the successes.
