Abstract
Application of GIS Standards in Environmental Restoration
Track: Environment Management
Author(s): Bobby Carpenter
The collection, storage, management, and analysis of geospatial data are critical components of environmental restoration activities. Geospatial data can be stored in a number of ways (i.e., paper, microfilm, and/or electronically) which may not be readily accessible and usable, or easily shared with, or reported to others. Geographic information system (GIS) technology can provide cost-effective and efficient tools to apply and manage such data. However, careful planning and the use of consistent data storage and GIS system implementation standards are necessary to achieve the full potential offered by GIS technology.
