Introduction and Motivation

I decided to do a little exploration of Google Earth (GE) and geospatial data services since my wife is working tonight and I had an hour or two to play around.

GE is a free software client (with optional paid upgrades) that represents an exciting rebirth of a product that allows users to experience spatial data (including 3-dimensional structures) in an easy to use and dramatic fashion. In fact, one of GE�s greatest strengths is perhaps its ease of use. Even my mother can now explore geodata (perhaps even of her back yard) in great detail. I see GE as a great platform to enable non-environmental scientists to visualize the vast amount of data and assessment results we have been compiling and publishing in boring reports, or as GIS data accessible only through expensive software or clumsy and boring websites.

Let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions by emailing John Zastrow at <br8kwall AT gmail.com >.

The Process

Figure 1. The Northern Virginia area with all the stations and stream reaches shown.

Figure 2. A slightly zoomed in view, with only three named streams enabled (see Places window at the left).

Figure 3. A zoomed in view of a station, I-66 and a named stream. Note the slight offset of the vector stream from the station and aerial photo placement of the stream. This might be because the station and the stream are based on the NAD83 datum, whereas Google earth is based on WGS84. Let�s try this after reprojecting the data.

I decided to do the reprojection using model builder since the reprojection tool in my ArcGIS 9.1 seems a little buggy, and I want to find excuses to use model builder.

Project ffx_nhd D:\POSTGIS\ffx_nhd_wgs84.shp GEOGCS['GCS_WGS_1984',DATUM['D_WGS_1984',SPHEROID['WGS_1984',6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM['Greenwich',0.0],UNIT['Degree',0.0174532925199433]] NAD_1983_To_WGS_1984_1

Images  (exported from Google Earth as snapshot images).

Before reprojection (NAD83) [click]

After reprojection (WGS84) [click]

So, the NHD offset from the stream in aerial photo was not due to a projection problem.

 As an aside, the co-registered station appears to be about 11 meters from the NHD stream.

Figure 4. A sideways view of the same area showing topography, including the Shenandoah Mountains in the distance.

To continue to investigate the practicality of this tool and technology I dabbled with some real data from a recent project. The product is posted below as links to data and screen examples as further illustration of the utility of tools like GE and public data for visualizing environmental data in a more complete context than in traditional GIS displays drawing data from a single, central source. Download these KMZ (compressed KML XML) files to your hard drive and File/Open them in Google Earth to load the data for viewing.

An image of the source GIS data in ArcView. Notice that while you can see the position of the stations relative to the features in the other layers, the exact context of land use and surrounding features is hard to grasp or is missing entirely. For example, you would have a hard time answering questions such as, "What is the land use or land cover type? Are there relevant commercial point sources of impact nearby? Are there artificial hydrologic diversions along the flow paths?" Adding the publicly available data layers provided by Google gives you added information to answer these questions. See the screens below and compare them to this vector-only GIS image.

An oblique, zoomed view of a few stations illustrating different biological quality ratings. The image also demonstrates the ability of GE to display feature attributes in a popup window.

A view of a couple stations of poor biological quality along an urban stream reach located just down-slope from a community of apartment buildings and downstream from a couple urban parks. The significant amount of impervious surface in this drainage as well as the lack of trees in the riparian corridor may be contributing to the impaired biological integrity found at these stations.

Overall view of the study area. The green polygon features delineate the major watershed groups of Prince George's County, MD.

KMZ files can also be opened in Google Maps as an easy way to view the data with nothing but a web browser. Simply paste the URL http://www.northredoubt.com/google_wq_files/Stations2.kmz into the search text field of Google Maps. Here is the Stations file above seen in Google Maps.

This view is zoomed out to the extent of the stations in the layer and the station that is selected has more attributes to display, including the IBI score of the site. The Google background is the streets layer to provide better spatial context when zoomed out.

Here is the same station but zoomed closer and the satellite/streets hybrid is shown as the background layer.

Recently Google Maps became able to display polygons provided in zipped KML files (.kmz). In this example the major watershed groups of the county are shown as green lines. Note that only "small" files or files that do contain very much geometry (vertices) can be displayed in Google Maps.

Practical Uses, Part II

Ok, that was fun. Then I wanted to make my little project even more practical. So, I went to EPA and download the 2002 impaired streams GIS layer (aka the 303(d) waters for 2002).

http://www.epa.gov/waters/data/downloads.html

I also used the annoying little wizard to download a table of the impairments (the pollutant or condition that lead to Virginia declaring that the stream was in poor condition, or not meeting its beneficia l uses www.deq.state.va.us/wqa/pdf/303d/intro.pdf ). I used this table to join to the streams layer to tell me why the 303(d) streams were impaired.

"Nutrients" � This means that the streams were found to have higher concentrations of nitrogen and/or phosphorus than the state standards for these types of compounds.

�Benthic�  - Or an evaluation of the bottom-dwelling life in these streams determined that they were not supporting the variety and/or numbers of organisms that somewhat healthy streams in this area should.

* Note: I tried to build KML (see below) that would let me label the streams with stream names or their impairments like the roads layer that Google provides.  After banging my head for an hour I figured why I couldn�t do it. You can�t. At least with KML. See this link. http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/63620/an/0/page/3/vc/1

Implementation ideas:

The dominance of the US GIS market by ESRI means that most folks we interact with have their geospatial data assets locked up in ESRI formats; including shapefiles and ArcSDE. With the polished data browser that Google Earth (GE) presents, it seems obvious that there will be a lot of people wanting to enable their business data to be viewed alongside Google�s quality base layers in GE as demonstrated above. ESRI has recognized this [2] and will likely be releasing support for this in their later products. It seems logical that they would allow image and feature services provided by ArcIMS to be exposed as KML perhaps in version 9.2. However, potential licensing and upgrade costs may mean that some data owners will get left behind in the short-term. Plus, some data owners may not want to go to the expense and effort of hosting ArcIMS just to make their data viewable.

So, perhaps what is needed is a java servlet that can produce KMZ�s of multiple data layers from multiple sources (without the need for ArcIMS or ArcAnything in the middle), including Shapefiles and ArcSDE. The servlet would be configurable with XML that would be read by the KMZ servlet when it is started (or restarted). The XML configuration file(s) would be created by an administration servlet. Configuration options would include:

Used in conjunction with other standards-based, non-proprietary technology the world of geospatial data is poised to be opened to the masses. For example, tools like these ([1], [2], [3]) may extend network geodata services to allow round trip data management that can be visualized by GE.
