Hurricanes: Where Have They Hit? Using the Historical Hurricane Tracker

Wednesday, June 6, 2012

Presenter(s): Dr. Dave Eslinger, NOAA Coastal Services Center

Understanding the history of hurricane strikes on a location can help with planning for possible impacts of future storms. This webinar will illustrate the Historical Hurricane Tracker, a Web-based tool for displaying the global record of hurricane tracks over the last 150+ years. The tool allows users to search for hurricane tracks that impacted an area of their choice, to sort and filter the search results, examine the characteristics of a particular storm, save storms, and share their analysis with others. In addition, users can examine hurricane strike data for coastal counties, look up official NWS reports on particular storms and access the full database of storm tracks.

In this webinar participants will learn how to:

Use the Historical Hurricane Tracks site to find storm tracks
Select and filter storm information
Share their results with others

The Social Coast – Social Science, Simply Explained and Applied

Wednesday, July 11, 2012

Presenter(s): Susan Fox, NOAA Coastal Services Center

The Social Coast website provides data, tools, training, and stories on one of the most important aspects of coastal management—the people. The Social Coast filters out the relevant demographic and economic data sets available through the Digital Coast, provides examples of how to use them, and demonstrates their benefits. These data narrow in on the coastal components of a broad range of demographic and economic data sets from agencies such as the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and others. This webinar will provide a guided tour of the new resource and provide real-world success stories on using demographic and economic data in coastal management.

In this webinar participants will

Explore the Social Coast website
Learn about the different demographic and economic data sets and some specific tools that have already incorporated these data for easy-to-use exploration
Hear about how these data sets have been used to address coastal issues
