GIS Regional Online Landscape Decision Support System Project

GeoConnections is a national program initiative led by Natural Resources Canada. They are collaborating with organizations across the country, including Foothills Research Institute, to expand and enhance the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI).

Foothills Research Institute completed a a user needs assessment for a regional online land-management atlas that uses the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure. The assessment revealed that users were interested in an Internet mapping framwork that focuses on disturbance and access information. GeoConnections reviewed the final user needs assessment and requested a full proposal for pilot projects to support integrated land management in Canada. Foothills Research Institute submitted a proposal and were notified in June that our project proposal was successful.
