UNIBEST (UNIform Beach Sediment Transport) is a software package which contains tools for the computation of sediment transport. The package consists of three models:

• UNIBEST-CL+ can be used to compute sediment transport and coastline changes along uniform sandy coasts as a result of natural forces or human interference.
• UNIBEST-DE can be used to compute dune erosion during storm events.
• UNIBEST-TC can be used to compute cross-shore profile changes during normal conditions (e.g.

The Marine Integrated Decision Analysis System (MIDAS) was developed to assist the Marine Managed Areas (MMA) users and managers in understanding the critical factors that influence MMA effects so that they can plan accordingly, to estimate likely MMA effects based on the ecological, socioeconomic and governance conditions, and finally, to advise management plan revisions that will result in optimization of outcomes and outputs.

The IAN symbol libraries contain over 1500 custom-made vector symbols (in 32 categories) designed specifically for enhancing science communication skills. The libraries are designed primarily for use with Adobe Illustrator (requires version 10 or better), however we also offer eps and svg versions for non-Illustrator users.

The Automated Geospatial Watershed Assessment (AGWA) Tool is a GIS-based watershed management tool that parameterizes and runs two watershed models, KINEROS2 and SWAT. AGWA is designed to provide qualitative estimates of runoff and erosion relative to landscape change.

Eonfusion is an application that provides 4D analysis and visualization of time-varying spatial data. It allows users to streamline the integration of large and diverse data sets, explore relationships among multiple variables, and easily communicate complex results in an engaging way.

EMDS is an application framework for decision support of ecological assessments at any geographic scale. The system integrates GIS, logic, and decision modeling to provide decision support for a substantial portion of the adaptive management process of ecosystem management.

The CCIF MPA Financial Management Tool is a pragmatic platform for managing MPAs that is financially driven but rich in a variety of other information as well.

DNDC (i.e., DeNitrification-DeComposition) is a computer simulation model of carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry in agro-ecosystems. The model can be used for predicting crop growth, soil temperature and moisture regimes, soil carbon dynamics, nitrogen leaching, and emissions of trace gases including nitrous oxide (N2O), nitric oxide (NO), dinitrogen (N2), ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Fishery Analyst is an ArcGIS 9.x extension developed to effectively analyze and visualize temporal and spatial patterns of fishery dynamics. The main functions are quantitative estimation and visualization of catch and effort and their variation in space and time, analysis of fishing vessel utilization, data quality control, and deriving information on the location of important economic and threatened species.

Ecosystem Explorer for NOAA shows a more nuanced version of the standard food chain. The idea is to go beyond simple predator/prey relationships to show the ecosystem as a coherent whole, and explore the way energy (as biomass) moves through it.
