Web-based geospatial technology provides the means to enhance the decision making of natural resource managers and the education of natural resource users. This paper discusses the development of a web-enabled application that allows the temporal and spatial representation of raster, vector, and tabular data for natural resource processes and uses through spatially dynamic time series animation...
