Módulo de visualização 3D baseado em ambiente geográfico virtual para simulação da elevação do nível do mar na praia da ponta da areia- São Luís-MA

Abstract

The growing concern about the sea level rise leads to the need to analyze the impacts related to the susceptibility of coastal zones to this phenomenon, therefore, the need for simulation studies on this topic that include altimetry, buildings, environmental and socioeconomic impacts, motivate the development of this work. proposed as support systems for specific studies of simulation and analysis of geographic phenomena, appear as precise and relevant tools for this study. This work proposes the application of Virtual Geographic Environment concepts for the development of a 3D module for visualization and simulation of sea level rise in the Ponta d’Areia region, in S˜ao Lu´ıs - Maranh˜ao. This tool may help the process of decision-making by the public administration and may support studies related to sea level rise.
