资源简介:
The Isthmus of Panama is a narrow strip of land that connects the continents of North and South America and separates the Atlantic (Caribbean) and Pacific oceans. It is rich in native biodiversity, with tropical rain and cloud forests, island archipelagos, coral reefs, mangrove and estuarine ecosystems.<br><br>In this study our aim is to model how post-glacial sea-level rise changed the land- and sea-scapes of the Isthmus of Panama. This helps provide more precise historical context to better understand modern biogeographical patterns of both terrestrial and marine ecosystems on the Isthmus. In collaboration with the GIS unit at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute we combined bathymetric and topographic data with historical sea level data of the Western Atlantic and Tropical Eastern Pacific to produce digital elevation models, maps, and animated videos showing the changing land and sea-scapes of the Isthmus through time.<br><br>A more detailed description of the project and methods can be found here: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/1d730fe1f6e443eab423a5aeea51dfb9<br>Aaron O'Dea Lab - Max TitcombSmithsonian Tropical Research Institute
