The GIS group is experienced with all aspects of GIS application, including initial geodatabase design and creation, data conversion, global positioning system (GPS) field data acquisition and verification, plant community mapping, slope and aspect studies, visibility impact analysis, network efficiency studies, and large- and small-scale impact analyses.
