3 Overview Multiple analysis tools Creates universal stream/hillslope data layer Provides data to user supplied models Simplifies GIS tasks NetMap Community tool development Community watershed databases

4 NetMap: Analysis Tools & Watershed Catalogue

5 NetMap: Analysis Tools & Watershed Catalogue Includes > 40 automated functions Includes > 60 parameters Applications -Resource mgmt (forestry, grazing) -Fish habitat management -Fire management -Restoration -Monitoring -Research -Conservation -Education

6 NetMap data structure (universal stream-hillslope layer) hillslope Stream

7 Multi-scale analysis of spatial data Burn severity and aggregated downstream

8 Data transfer between NetMap and other GIS databases NetMap River Network Data Structure Other Network GIS Data Structures

9 Habitat Models (HIP & Beyond)

11

12 Add additional habitat parameters or create new models

13 Calculate Core Habitat Areas Minimum patch separation Minimum "core" length Satellite habitat

14 Define Habitat Connectivity [f(size, proximity)] of one patch to all others etc. B A-B A-C A-D A C D

15 NetMap s subbasin Sort & Rank tool

16 So what do you do with aquatic habitat predictions? Fair potential Good potential Poor potential

17 NetMap Tools Forestry Timber harvest Roads Restoration Conservation Aquatic Habitats Pre-fire planning Post-fire (BAER) planning

20 Fire risk to fish: connect the channel segments

21 Fire Management -Pre-fire risk -Post fire burn severity Search for overlaps of potential concern among 1) forest age (timber harvest) or fire risk & burn severity, 2) erosion potential, and 3) sensitive habitats Forest Management (timber harvest)

22 Search for overlaps between roads and habitat potential/sensitivity

23 Calculate the cumulative habitat length above each road crossing

24 Export to Google Earth Habitat Intrinsic Potential Erosion Potential

25 Multiple analysis tools Creates universal stream/hillslope data layer Provides data to user supplied models Simplifies GIS tasks NetMap Community tool development Community watershed databases

26 Community Tool Development NetMap tools are constantly being updated and new ones added: Recent examples include: -Shasta Trinity National Forest (WEPP erosion, Flammap) -Wild Salmon Center (GIS network data transfer tool) -Hinton Forest Products, Canada (LIDAR capabilities) -WSC/Sakhalin Salmon Initiative (velocity, substrate size) Updated tools are made immediately available to all users

27 Existing Community Watershed Databases ( ) ~40 million acres, WA, OR, CA, Russia -NOAA (prototype/univ.stream layer [2003]) -USFS NFs (Shasta-Trinity, Siuslaw, Willamette, Deschutes) -Oregon Dept. Forestry (all lands) -EPA (TMDL), Mad R. -Private (watershed analysis, Mattole) -Private (HCP) -Watershed Councils -West Fraser (Alberta, Canada) -Wild Salmon Center (Hoh River) -WSC (Sakhalin Island, Russian Far East)

29 Updated tools and watershed databases are accessed by all users via the web

30 Power of comparative analyses Hoh River, WA Siuslaw River, Central Coast, OR Wilson River, N Coast, OR Mendocino Coast, CA

31 ESI seeks formal technical collaborations on the continuing design, application and evaluation (e.g., evolution) of NetMap s tools and watershed databases (shared ownership of a region-wide community system)

32 NetMap Analysis: Tasks 1) Assemble all GIS data, 2) Customize tools (opt) 3) Procure/develop environmental regressions, 4) Subdivide watersheds, 5) Run Netrace models, 6) Netrace-NetMap integration, 7) Field validation, 8) Update attribute table, 9) QA/QC (all tools-parameters) 10) Preliminary runs (all parameters), 11) Two-day training
