GIS applications
February 8, 2008
Biologists use collar transmitters and satellite receivers to track the migration routes of animals to help design programs to protect them. The information from the transmitters and receivers allow a map to be made displaying these routes.
“This application of GIS in underground mining concentrates in four technical areas: land ownership and mineral claims, exploration management, production, and mine safety. The benefits of consolidating and archiving claim data and the ability to georeference property maps defined in local coordinates into state coordinate system is of paramount importance to a land and exploration manager. In the production area, GIS facilitates the optimal sighting and querying of service installations relative to production centers to meet the production parameters. In mine safety, the sighting of refuge chambers relative to production centers is optimized and areas of potential safety concern are identified utilizing GIS’s proximity analysis. The same applies to finding the shortest route to emergency exits and preparation of maps to facilitate the prompt evacuation of mine personnel.”
“Resource management is the efficient and effective deployment of an organization’s resources when they are needed. Such resources may include financial resources, inventory, human skills, production resources, or information technology(IT).”
Introduction to Myself
