Our firm is conducting the GIS analysis and presentation of information depicting the state and issues of the Carp River watershed. The analysis addresses issues such as the water budget, terrestrial and acquatic habitats, woodlands, stream morphology, land use and environmental constraints. Criteria modelling is being applied to assist in the development and evaluation of alternative management strategies.

City of Ottawa, United Counties of Prescott-Russell, United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry - Provided GIS data analysis in an interdiscplinary team of hydrogeologists, land use planners and engineers to evaluate the state of water resources in eastern Ontario. This in-depth study of water resources used GIS to develop a regional water budget model that was then used to evaluate the capacity of the region to support development and the identify risks to degradation of surface water quality. The land use analysis incorporated land cover mapping derived from satellite imagery with census data on the intensity and type of agricultural activities to characterize current activities and evaluate the potential risks. The project involved extensive data analysis that was completed using ArcView and the Spatial Analyst extension.

Conducted a study of the requirements at the Town for GIS. The study examined the business activities conducted by the municipal departments, evaluated the need and opportunity for spatial data to support the processes, evaluated the state of existing data and provided a foundation for the development of the municipal GIS implementation.
Algonquins of Pikwakanagan - Consulted with community interest groups to compile data on native land interests for the compilation of mapping to be incorporated into Forest Management Plans and for assisting with land claim negotiations. Compiled a comprehensive GIS data base and provided GIS software training to local staff.
City of Gloucester/Robinson Consultants - Site suitability models were developed to identified preferred locations for new municipal garage facilities. The SPANS GIS system was used to execute a site suitability model which uses parameters extracted from environmental, physical, zoning and cadastral mapping.
Consulted on the content and functional capabilities of the Biodiversity Volume of the Electronic Atlas for Agenda 21. This is a multimedia GIS software meet the analysis and reporting requirements of countries under the Biodiversity Convention - Agenda 21.
