FORESTRY MAPPING

The mapping components (spatial data) are integrated in the Forest Inventory Database Programs, to carry out GIS Forest Inventory Mapping analysis to assist in monitoring future changes in this invaluable resource. VRI (forest cover) maps are joined with a forest data bases that contains information about the forest attributes such as species, age, height, crown-closure, etc...from which query analysis can take place.

Other GIS/Mapping applications include: Pre-Harvest & post-harvest cut block traversing, road systems & landings, mechanical site preparation, juvenile spacing, mechanical brushing & planting, forest health, forest recreation and research plots.

GEOLOGICAL MAPPING

Geological Mapping involves the process of gathering geological data in the field along with GPS data and adding it to a topographic map base and often imagery to interpret and analyze the detail.

Some geological applications involving GIS/Mapping include: site plans and profiles, surface and subsurface analysis, slope analysis and erosion control, mineral claim boundaries, geochemical & geophysical grid systems, road networks, borehole locations, diamond drill-hole locations, seismic activity, groundwater protection, sample site locations and bedrock mapping.

 
 

"I have had GEM Mapping and Design work on three different mapping projects for the District Forest Health Program over the past 6 months. Linda not only completed the works to a high standard on short notice, but her knowledge help guide the projects direction to successful completions."

"Geographic Earth Mapping provided AutoCAD drafting services on various engineering projects at Golder Associates. Drawings were of a high quality and designed to meet our standard formats. We found Ms. Decker to be very reliable and able to respond to many short-notice requests."

ENVIRONMENTAL MAPPING

GIS/Mapping initiatives are a step to ensure that the environment is taken into account from the earliest stages of planning. As a part of planning, they can assess the potential impacts on air, water, wetlands, endangered species, cultural resources, the social environment, and other resources. They also propose ways to lessen or eliminate the impacts through mitigation.

Environmental Mapping includes the study of: Ecosystems, wildlife habitat areas, park, reserves and protected areas, fish habitats, stream assessments, lake survey results, wetlands studies, watershed analysis, preservation and restoration.

TERRAIN MAPPING

3-D Analyst is used to generate TIN (triangular irregular network) surfaces using TRIM's DEM data for elevation, slope and aspect analysis. View-scape analysis is also accomplished by using ortho imagery and elevation data. Terrain modeling analysis is done by combining various datasets and imagery surface-draped over the TIN using ArcScene. With ArcScene 3-D "fly-overs" can be also created that can be saved as video-clips for future use.
