Natural Resources

Collecting, analyzing, and presenting data from a wide variety of disciplines to support site characterization studies, environmental assessments, impact statements, development feasibility studies, and permitting submittals are arduous tasks.

Because information needed for environmental studies is location-specific, GIS is helping organizations to lower costs and shorten schedules for managing environmental data.

GIS technology has become an integral component of hydrology/hydraulic analysis, endangered species surveys, water and air quality modeling, fisheries studies, wetlands delineation, dam and floodplain studies, safety and noise control engineering, and recreation planning.

Recent advances in Global Positioning System (GPS) technology and the integration of GPS with GIS have reduced field survey and data collection costs. Field staff no longer need to record observations on paper maps in the field or in field books. Electronic data entry pick lists and forms facilitate error-free field data collection as GPS locations are recorded automatically.
