Mapping and Monitoring |
Our mapping and monitoring services for natural and built environments are based on the appropriate integration of technologies to produce desired outcomes. Most commonly our approach involves the use of remote sensing, GIS and field mapping methods using GPS. As environmental mapping and monitoring systems continue to improve we are able to stay on the leading-edge of solid-state technology adoption through our university and research connections. Current systems under development include integrated decision support systems and wireless sensor networks. Previous projects involved the use of a variety of remote sensing systems including multi-spectral (IKONOS, LANDSAT, ASTER etc.), hyper-spectral (AVIRIS, HyperSpecTir), LIDAR and SAR sensors. Commonly remote sensing mapping products are integrated with ancillary information and GPS data using industry-standard geographic information systems. |
Spatial analysis and modeling |
Spatial analysis and modeling explores spatial patterns and relationships between features in your data to understand, assess, model and predict behavior. This capability provides a powerful tool to approach geographic problems and can be considered the ultimate goal of implementing GIS. Our experiences ranges from spatial statistics, suitability analysis, vulnerability and risk assessment, and cost-distance analyses to hydrologic modeling, modeling of species distribution and biodiversity, and forecasting urban growth and land use change. |
Management |
Management applications of geo-spatial technologies are numerous and continue to evolve rapidly. Our experience includes the specification and development of planning support systems for local and regional scales, design and development of custom agricultural management information systems, with particular focus on the wine grape industry, and life-cycle planning for inclusion of remotely sensed data from our mapping and monitoring projects into active planning and management frameworks. We provide up-to-date product options for a wide-range of management needs. |
Presentation |
In our understanding geo-spatial data products need to be performed in a creative and innovative way to potential endusers, interest groups and stakeholders. We are experienced to provide tools and designs related to the specific needs of our clients. Our expertise includes the design and development of webpages, geographic map design, DVD/CD data production and a variety of animation and multimedia applications on several platforms. |
Education and training |
The members of the GeoCN have long-term experience in education and training of both theoretical and practical concepts related to geography, geoinformatics, urban and environmental management and planning. Courses will be designed and offered upon request ranging from a 2-hr lectures to weeklong workshops.
