Abstract
The primary goal of our GIS design for marine applications is to facilitate the surveyor in environmental data acquisition and in retrieving, preprocessing and visualizing georeferenced information from oceanographic cruises. The system called OSIRIS (ocean survey integrated research information system) has a modular architecture tailored to support environmental data acquisition. It provides a framework where updating and expanding each module is straightforward. An on-going program of seafloor mapping in Naples Bay (southeastern Tyrrhenian margin) is among the main research projects of the Geomare sud Institute, CNR. Financed by the National Geological Survey of Italy (CARG project), this research aims at producing, during the years 1998-2000, geological maps of selected marine coastal zones at the 1: 50.000 scale. OSIRIS has been used and tested in this frame and in particular during two oceanographic cruises organized by the Geomare Sud and by other institutions during the 1997-1998 time span.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
