Data Management
Information stored in a GIS database can be automatically screened for errors before being shared with project partners. |
 |
Analysis
Location-based data can be analyzed to reveal trends across geographic areas. |

Application Areas
GIS plays an important role in improving multiple areas of environmental management. |
ESRI believes that geography is the key component for successful environmental management. The idea of using geography as the intellectual backbone to which all environmental data can be attached by location was the foundation that ultimately led to the development of GIS.
Natural resources—whether terrestrial, marine, or atmospheric—are finite, and the measurement and management of these resources are gaining importance as increased demands are put upon them.
