We used ArcGIS handheld devices loaded with GIS-developed maps that had layers of suitable and unsuitable habitat, elevation changes, water features, roads, site boundaries, and the transect lines on which we had to walk. When we found a tortoise, we dropped a pin at its location, took basic morphometrics, and described the area it was found. All data was saved as another layer on our GIS software.]]> 2018-01-16 16:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/stephrogers5/nxkp5ivuo3no/wish/221770034 https://padlet.com/stephrogers5/nxkp5ivuo3no/wish/221770110 Charting locations of mountain sheep over time to evaluate home ranges, migration patterns, and what resources guide movement]]> 2018-01-16 16:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/stephrogers5/nxkp5ivuo3no/wish/221770110 https://padlet.com/stephrogers5/nxkp5ivuo3no/wish/221770209 GIS is used in air pollution by mapping the concentration levels, locations, and movement trends of airborne pollutants.

There are problems with native bees when it comes to the agricultural side of things because of a lack of large scale analysis for native bees. GIS modeling of native bee habitat can provide landscape scale analysis to help assess native bee abundance and diversity.

Use the GIS to find the water resources in different area and to estimate how many people could use the water to lead a life. Find the different data in different places and different days to calculate a relatively requirements of the properties. Use different ways in transporting the water to balance the resources. Use GIS to estimate the volume of rivers and lakes. Planing the routes of transporting the water resources to the poor water area. Use GIS to help modeling the water pollution. And use GIS to ensure a reliable and safety water which will be using and drinking in our life.
