Development of a Natural Resources GIS, U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba

To assist Guantanamo Bay staff in the management of the base’s unique natural resources, Geo-Marine’s GIS staff performed extensive onsite surveys using sub-meter DGPS, remote sensing analyses developed from custom collected, true color and multispectral satellite imagery, and conversion of hardcopy mapping to digital form.  Deliverables included an SDS-compliant geodatabase and FGDC compliant metadata.

Marine Resource Assessments, U.S. Navy, Global

For each of the regional Marine Resource Assessment reports, GMI developed comprehensive marine geodatabases depicting physical oceanography, bathymetry, commercial fisheries, marine mammal distributions, sea turtle distributions, T&E species, essential fish habitats, marine protected areas, and recreational activities.  GIS deliverables for each MRA include approximately 3Gb of geospatial data and protected species databases containing all available sighting data.

Airfield Feature Extraction and Geodatabase Development, Air Combat Command, Middle East

GMI analyzed imagery for 125 sites in the Middle East.  Between 15-25 infrastructure themes were extracted per site, and converted to spatially accurate layers for military planning purposes.  All data was SDS compliant, topologically correct, and included FGDC compliant metadata
