Dugway Proving Ground Installation Restoration Program GIS. Software Documentation and Training Materials

摘要

At the request of U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground's Installation Restoration Program, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab developed a Geographic Information System (GIS) for management and analysis of environmental restoration data. The GIS software can be used to compare and analyze datasets of diverse types, e.g., orthophotos, contaminant information stored in a database, and geospatial datalayers such as sample locations, roads, and buildings. Powerful chemical query capabilities allow the user to search for analytical results either basewide or at a particular site. Users can also query one or multiple contaminants by a specific detection threshold level, or return all sample results regardless of detection level. Query results can then be mapped to the screen to highlight clusters and/or possible contamination trends, or exported to a spreadsheet program. Hard-copy maps can also be printed from the software.
