G.I.S. Services
Thomson Ecology offers a complete GIS service.
We have a dedicated and highly experienced team who can source and work with initial data, undertake appropriate analysis and then supply and map the results in the formats that you require.
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are used to analyse and record the relationships and patterns which occur within spatial data. The use of GIS in ecology and environmental disciplines aids decision making and provides support material for planning. We use the ArcGis system.
Data
We source, collect and digitise a wide range of data according to your requirements. Data from different sources can be combined and structured to give more meaningful and comprehensive datasets and improved visual representation.
Analysis
Analysis can reduce the effort needed for surveys and improve the knowledge and understanding of an area. The GIS team use a number of methodologies to identify features within set distances, as required for planning proposals. Techniques such as spatial overlay are employed to allow a number of criteria to be interpreted together (as per diagram shown on the left), as well as in isolation. This makes it easier to compare the viability of different sites.
Analysis of, for example, protected species population, distribution and trends can also be undertaken, allowing for more informed decisions, in respect to their importance and abundance.
Results
Information is presented in a format that meets your needs and which suits the data and project. We have the flexibility to display your results as models, paper maps, tables, presentation slides or any other mediums to suit your requirements.
