KARES 2000: Eastman Kodak Corp.'s Air Resources Evaluation System
Andrew KvaalJim Sanders , Rich Walikis
GIS technology is a valuable tool for managing and analyzing the large amounts of data used by environmental managers. The Kodak Air Resources Evaluation System (KARES) combines GIS, air dispersion models, and industrial databases into a desktop air quality management package. KARES relies on ArcView GIS to provide the GIS functionality and PowerBuilder to furnish the custom interface and database management capabilities. ArcView 3D Analyst is employed to assist in the spatial analysis of predicted air quality impacts from USEPA's ISCST3 dispersion model. The analytical results are used for monitoring emission control programs and for submittal of permits to regulatory agencies.
