IMAGINE...a community of local governments, utilities, and businesses, just like yours, that has Internet access to multiple levels of integrated geographic data. Imagine...a multi-layer data visualization system available through the Internet to municipalities, utilities, commercial, environmental, and non-profit groups, and other organizations with interests just like yours. Just think of the possibilities for your community, your business, and your quality of life. Does it exist? You bet! It's called BADGER--the Bay Area Digital GeoResource, and it's a model for public and private access to Earth science data over the Internet.
What exactly is BADGER, and how does it work? BADGER, a non-profit community resource, is an online visualization system for geographic data of the San Francisco Bay Area developed from satellite and aerial imagery, maps, and databases. The system is available through the Internet to the groups noted above, as well as others. Environmental features, underground services, property lines, municipal zones, census data, and demographic information are depicted in BADGER's multi-layer visualization system.
