For More Information Poster side 2 Applications of GIS GIS Through History GIS Display Techniques Poster side 1 Geographic information system (GIS) technology can be used for scientific investigations, resource management, and development planning. For example, a GIS might allow emergency planners to easily calculate emergency response times in the event of a natural disaster, or a GIS might be used to find wetlands that need protection from pollution. What is a GIS? A GIS is a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced information; that is, data identified according to location. Practitioners also define a GIS as including the procedures, operating personnel, and spatial data that go into the system. How does a GIS work? Relating information from different sources The power of a GIS comes from the ability to relate different information in a spatial context and to reach a conclusion about this relationship. Most of the information we have about our world contains a location reference, placing that information at some point on the globe. When rainfall information is collected, it is important to know where the rainfall is located. This is done by using a location reference system, such as longitude and latitude, and perhaps elevation. Comparing the rainfall information with other information, such as the location of marshes across the landscape, may show that certain marshes receive little rainfall. This fact may indicate that these marshes are likely to dry up, and this inference can help us make the most appropriate decisions about how humans should interact with the marsh. A GIS, therefore, can reveal important new information that leads to better decisionmaking.

Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in Conservation and Management Applied Biomathematics has several current and recent projects related to the use of geographic information systems (GIS) in conservation and management of species and landscapes. These research projects involve GIS-based habitat modeling, and link landscape data to population viability analyses. If you are not familiar with these concepts, you can read short introductory material in the following pages: Population viability analysis and risk assessment Modeling populations and species Metapopulation models and GIS Articles on linking GIS to ecological models GIS Enhances Endangered Species Conservation Efforts . Originally published in GIS World in November 1994. Linking GIS with Models of Ecological Risk Assessment for Endangered Species . Presented at the Third International Conference on Integrating GIS and Environmental Modeling, at Santa Fe, New Mexico. Software for linking GIS to ecological models RAMAS GIS is a program designed to link your GIS with an ecologcial model for population viability analysis and extinction risk assessment. RAMAS GIS is used to import and analyze GIS maps, and to build metapopulation models based on the characteristics of the landscape and the habitat requirements of the species living in them.
