This $184,447 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Park Service will support a multi-year project to conduct heritage documentation and create digital twins at Cumberland Island National Seashore in Georgia. Using terrestrial laser scanning, structured light scanning, and other advanced imaging and virtualization technologies, the University of South Florida will spatially document extant structures and remains. This includes completing a 3D inventory with GIS web applications, virtual collections and tours, and 3D models. The project aims to establish a historic building information management approach to monitor climate change impacts and transformation processes. It will also synthesize existing GIS and information into a geospatial database for efficient data management and visualization tool development. Funded under the Cooperative Research and Training Programs – Resources of the National Park System program (CFDA 15.945), the project supports the program's goals of facilitating multi-disciplinary science and integrated information through cooperative study units.

This program will establish a historic building information management (hbim) heritage approach to monitor the effects of climate change and transformation processes at cumberland island national seashore, and be used to assist in planning, management, interpretation, and restoration. Existing GIS and relevant information will also be synthesized and brought together as part of a GIS approach to data management and visualization, allowing for efficient tool and application development, implementation, and maintenance.summary of project specific activities:use of terrestrial laser scanning and structured light scanning, advanced imaging and virtualization technologies, and GPS survey work to capture extant remains at the NPS cuis. Complete a spatial and 3D documentation inventory, with GIS web applications, virtual collections and tours, and 3D models and visualizations.performance goals including milestones and expected outcomes:kick-off meeting and site selection, order of operational decisions- collaborative with NPS cuisfield operations selected as first operation order will begin data mining, literature and background review, and GIS geodatabase development.year 1 field and processing operations year 2: selection of sites, features, artifacts.year 3: field operations selected as first operation order will begin data mining, literature and background review, and GIS geodatabase development. Final report and workshop: a comprehensive document that reports on the project outcomes, with all areas of data capture and analyses discussed.
