Unless we are completely married to the 'sector' approach, I have a couple proposals:\r\n\r\n1) just have a list of layers, and each layer has one or more small icons (e.g. wave-->coastal, silo-->agriculture, etc.) associated with it for each sector or other category (e.g. climate data).  The user can then quickly filter these using a drop down, as in our alpha map.\r\n\r\n2) We divide layers up into virtually mutually exclusive groups of air, water (fresh/salt), land and society:\r\n*air: mintemp, maxtemp (historic,future) pollution, weather layers, etc.\r\n*(fresh)water: flood hazard, ppt, alsc, lake ice, etc.\r\n*(salt)water: sea level rise, sandysurge, ocean temp (historic, future), coastal vulnerability,\r\n* land: nlcd, agriculture layers, \r\n*society: railroads, aadt, subways, waste treatment plants, other infrastructure"}}
