Observed Erosion Severity (2002)

Present and potential erosion are significant factors for land management and the environmental and economic sustainability of the land. Erosion is classified by type (e.g. sheet, soil slip or gully) and by severity. 'Observed Erosion Severity' type is also classified from 'negligible' to 'extreme'. Note that because of the varying nature of erosion processes, severity may refer to :- percent area coverage of erosion, size of erosion features in hectares, or in the case of stream bank erosion by length and lateral extent of erosion features.

Use this facility to create printable PDF maps in A4, A3, A2 and A1 size and in portrait or landscape layout.

The extent of your map is shown by the blue box. Click on the box and drag it around to change the geographic location of your map.

Changing the scale or paper size will affect the amount of detail or the size of the geographic area that will appear on the map.

The maps can include any map title.

The print request exceeded the maximum supported size due the complexity/amount of geometry in the requested extent. Try printing a smaller area of the map.

Error

This is an experimental feature.

Our Environment can display third party maps that are served with the Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) protocol or Esri ArcGIS REST API.

WMTS (Web Map Tile Service)

What it is:

"A Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) is a standard protocol for serving pre-rendered georeferenced map tiles over the Internet. The specification was developed and first published by the Open Geospatial Consortium in 2010" (source)

The WMTS standard defines a capabilities document which describes the parameters of a tiled web map. If you have the URL of a capabilities document, Our Environment can try to display your map. For example, click here to use the layers from Manaaki Whenua's Web Map Services.

This feature works best with maps that are in the NZTM projection but we try to re-project on the fly if the maps are in a different projection. The WMTS service obviously needs to provide maps that cover or fall entirely within New Zealand. You will see an error message if the map coverage is outside of New Zealand.

ArcGIS REST API

Our Environment can display some maps hosted by ArcGIS REST API Services. The URL for the service should end with:

  • /MapServer - for example NZ Imagery
  • /MapServer/{a number} e.g. /MapServer/0 /MapServer/1 /MapServer/2 etc.
  • /ImageServer

You can find some compatible maps at:

  • data.govt.nz - when you select a dataset, choose the Esri REST API option, then paste the URL of the resource into the text box above.
  • Living Atlas - when you click on a layer, you will be shown a page with information about the layer. To import this into Our Environment, copy the links that are in the section titled Layers.

Errors encountered

Our Environment encountered some problems while trying to parse the capabilities document. Some layers have been excluded from this list because of the following reasons:
  • The layer doesn't cover New Zealand.
  • The layer is missing the Style attribute that is required by the WMTS standard.
  • The layer is not available in the EPSG:2193 map projection which is used in Our Environment

Layer types

Context - Displayed on top of the map
Science / Content - In the middle, between base and context layers.
Base layer - A backdrop for other layers.
