GIS day 2011
Each year in November, the global community celebrates the annual GIS day. Let’s take the opportunity to showcase what DHI and GIS can do for you!
What is GIS?
GIS - short for Geographical Information System - is a system that allows one to discover previously unnoticed patterns, relationships, and trends in data. Moreover, it enables you to manage your data, perform advanced analysis, model and automate operational processes, and display your results on professional-quality maps.
DHI and GIS: Visualize your data, ask the right questions, strengthen your decisions
GIS plays an important role in the daily work carried out by our in-house experts in many DHI offices. Combining GIS with our state-of-the-art numerical models and our wide-ranging expertise in the world of water, DHI can supply you with complete solutions tailored to your specific needs. Depending on your project, this can range from standardized storage, cartography and documentation of GIS data and maps, to customizing a dynamic, web-based GIS framework with advanced display, query and presentation capabilities.
DHI’s GIS services include:
• Collection, integration and analysis of geographic data from various sources
• Visual and easily understandable presentation of complex ideas
• Easy access to data for decision makers, analysts and fieldworkers
• Identification and visualisation of spatial patterns that may not be apparent in tables & charts
• Spatial analysis of data to ask & answer specific questions (e.g. is coral bleaching worse outside a marine protected area?)
• Strengthened scientific basis for decision making
