Geographic Information Systems
The role of geographic information systems (GIS) in environmental
problem-solving and communications continues to expand at a rapid
pace. In the environmental sciences, virtually all critical data have
a spatial component. Geographic information systems represent a
series of processes and tools, whereby complex data are linked to
earth-referenced features, manipulated through spatial analysis and
database queries, and displayed as results in powerful multi-media
maps. Managing and displaying data through GIS distills complex
trends and relationships into accessible information.
GLEC’s GIS clients receive innovative and cost-efficient solutions that
stress maximum results with minimal complexity. We use the expanding
wealth of public data and viewing tools to create meaningful and
