Abstract :
The work presented has been developed within the scope of the on-going EC project, aimed at the definition of an advanced and integrated system for transparent access and visualization of coastal zone management tools, via the Web. In particular, we describe the approach adopted for embedding of a surface modelling module into the Web environment. The result is a user friendly application that provides service for accessing high level modelling functionality and for visualizing or navigating over coastal areas in a desktop virtual reality environment
