Spatial Institute Projects
Current Spatial Institute Projects
Our research lab specializes in using spatial analysis techniques to answer research questions in the areas of climate change, biogeography, ecology, and long-term environmental change. We have a strong regional focus on the Salish Sea Bioregion.
For a full list of our projects, visit our research lab website.
Active Channel Mapping
To accurately delineate riparian zones in watersheds around the Salish Sea, we are delineating the precise location of active channels (at bank full width) using LiDAR imagery.
Salish Sea Atlas
The Salish Sea Atlas, authored by Dr. Aquila Flower, is an open access digital book containing maps, illustrations, interpretive text, and downloadable geospatial datasets addressing cultural and environmental themes across the Salish Sea Bioregion.
Salish Sea Climate Change Assessment
Climate change is one of the biggest threats facing the ecosystems, economies, and communities of the Salish Sea Bioregion. Dr. Flower is working to complete the first Climate Change Assessment for the Salish Sea.
