Description: It is one challenge to make a model that effectively allocates land to three differnt zones, such as the climate adaptation portfolio, and a differnt and also daunting challenge to effectively commuicate the inputs, analyses, and outputs of such a model. To do this, we developed a new branch of the Environmental Evaluation Modeling System (EEMS), a fuzzy-logic multi-criteria combination system. We also applied and enhanced the the graphical user interface (GUI), EEMS Explorer, which is powered by the open access online mapping and analysis platform databasin.org. The GUI has a transparent interface for viewing intermediate spatial results of any final map, and displays why a particular planning unit received a particular value.
