Geospatial Analysis

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are invaluable tools for storing, analyzing, and understanding location-based information. At Downstream Strategies, we use GIS and geospatial technologies in nearly every project to solve problems in a coherent and well-organized manner. Our expertise in geospatial analysis helps us develop efficient, workable solutions for our clients.

Downstream Strategies believes maps and mapping are an important component of science and communication. We are well-versed in a wide range of GIS skills and applications including environmental modeling, logistics and routing, ecological modeling, and developing and maintaining large databases. We also offer extensive experience creating end-user platforms, ranging from simple web maps to fully customized analytical tools.

Fish Habitat Decision Support Tool

This tool provides resource managers and the public with access to the extensive spatial data and results produced from multiple fish habitat assessments. Three main analytical tools—visualization, ranking, and futuring — are combined with intuitive basemaps and mapping features to allow users to explore the details of the fish habitat assessments and perform subsequent analyses.

Got Five On It: Economic Impacts and Observations of the Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization Program Five Years In

The Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization (AMLER) Program was established in 2016 to return abandoned mine lands to productive use through economic and community development. In this report, we utilize economic impact models to estimate the economic benefits of AMLER projects.
