‐ GIS thematic data and imagery, including LiDAR
• Data is stored in a highly secure data
centre, in Canada.
Cloud Computing:
• Hosted desktop accessible from anywhere
that has an open internet connection.
GIS Program Goals
Disseminate technology, tools and knowledge
to partners and beyond
• Workshops & training
• GIS communications and outreach
• Innovative GIS technology
• Partnerships in data sharing and data
management
Some of our deliverables
Grizzly Bear Program:
Design and management of Grizzly Bear
Management Database and GIS tools
Integrate 8 years of Microsite Vegetation data
into one single functional database
Integrate the many DNA inventories and
results into the Grizzly Bear Management
Database
Some of our deliverables
GeoConnections - FRI Mapper:
The project resulted from challenges
experienced with the exchange of information
across various boundaries/jurisdictions e.g.,
Federal/provincial datasets etc.
Features: Create new layers, density
calculations, uploading shapefiles, disturbance
modeling, field collection, security
GIS Day:
Communicating GIS through events such as
GIS Day
Inviting local school groups to experience
hands-on GIS and GPS technologies
Setting up displays at libraries, schools and
other events to promote GIS and FRI.
Some of our deliverables
Some of our deliverables
Ecotour Maps of the Foothills Research
Institute Study Area:
Produce an interpretive guide – TransCanada
Ecotour for the highway 16 and 93 corridors
including side trips encompassing FRI
research.
Exploring Online Ecotour Maps – exploring the
use of Google Maps
What’s next…
More prominent use of web-based mapping
applications
Increased inter-agency collaboration with data
and applications
FRI has the potential to be a “one-stop shop”
for data and applications
Thank you!
