GIS/Mapping Centre
The mandate of the Manitoba Eco-Network’s GIS / Mapping
Centre is to provide the benefits of Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) technologies to
Custom maps:
We can establish thematic maps of a specified area that can be included
in a report, presentation, poster, website, etc. These can be provided
in printed and digital format.
Posters:
We custom-design and assist in the printing of posters (printing
currently sub-contracted to the
Geospatial Analysis:
For example, using GIS technology it is easy to retrieve information,
such as the total length of rivers, roads, etc., the amount of land
covered by a certain land-use, or the number of objects, such as
hog barns within a defined distance to a town or farm site.
Database Management
/ Geographic Information Systems: We can create complete
databases and GISs for a project; these
house all relevant geographical data in map and/or tabular format
and provide a base for easy data access, manipulation, retrieval
and management.
Interactive DVDs or
CD-ROMs: Applications and designs vary greatly. For
example, we can use a base map and users can view pictures or videos
of features on the map by the click of a mouse button – or
the click of a mouse button will reveal tabular or graphic statistics
of that feature, such as water quality data along a river. –
These kinds of products are especially useful for educational purposes.
3D Visualization / Analysis: These techniques extend mapping beyond the
traditional two dimensional surfaces and enhance our understanding
of space and place.
Workshops:
Since the establishment of the GIS / Mapping Centre, we have offered
introductory hands-on Global Positioning System (GPS) workshops
on an annual basis. Workshop participants learn about the principles
of GPS technology and get hands-on mapping experience in the field.
GIS workshops introduce participants
to the basics of GIS techniques and also provide hands-on experience.
All workshops can be offered on demand and can be adjusted to suit
participants’ needs.
Equipment Rental:
Lease our GPS unit for your mapping and research needs.
Project Management:
We establish partnerships in which we can take a leading role in
the project design and implementation.
We are happy to provide our services during any stage of your
project, from assistance in the proposal stage, over data management
during a project, to the provision of CDs, DVDs, maps and posters
that show your results towards the end of the project. In addition,
we can establish partnerships in which we take a leading role in
the project design and implementation.
