ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION AND ASSESSMENT
 
GIS and Image processing have become the tools of choice for scientists and engineers who perform environmental analysis and assessments. These tools play a key role in defining the areas and parameters to be studied. For example, in a planning level wetland delineation study, GIS layers and imagery can be analyzed to provide a preliminary wetland boundary which can then field verified and the data to be refined. The data collected is partnered with the associated GPS points to create GIS layers for analysis and visualization. This produces a more complete analysis of the study area. JAYA Corporation, with its staff of biologists/environmental managers and GIS/image processing specialists, is currently providing such support and ready to meet your requirements  

Reference Projects

U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (USAERDC)

JAYA personnel support the Environmental Laboratory, USAERDC in performing wetland planning level surveys for various U.S. Army National Guard training sites throughout the United States. Our biologists and GIS technicians were key in the acquisition and analysis of data, preparing GIS base maps and in the field verification and data collection.

U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (USAERDC)

JAYA Corporation's field biologists identify riparian areas within the Southern California watersheds and collect data to assess the integrity and value of these areas. Data collected is entered in a database that is linked to a GIS project.

GROUNDWATER ANALYSIS AND MONITORING SYSTEM DESIGN

The major obstacle to progress in investigations and analysis has been a capability to assimilate large volumes of hydrologic data. GIS offers the best means of improving productivity, reducing costs, and ultimately gaining insight to the nature of the problems. GIS based hydrologic analyses can help to answer the following questions:

  • Where should we monitor for ground water pollution.
  • What is the source of pollution in this water supply well?
  • Where should we look for a new water supply well?
  • What are the potential sources of pollution for this sensitive ecosystem?
  • What part of the groundwater aquifer potentially pollutes the environment?

The integration of imagery into a GIS provides the hydrologist/environmentalist with a very powerful analytical tool. JAYA Corporation integrates aerial/satellite imagery and georeferenced data into a Hydro Geographic Information System. The system will combine in a single analytical tool the imagery data processed for feature identification and extraction with digitized and field collected geo-referenced data.

Reference Projects

NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) - Environmental Engineering Department

JAYA demonstrated the application of GIS and sensor technologies to an analytical groundwater resource development, assessment and monitoring. JAYA provided services in image processing of thermography data acquired from an aerial platform. The thermography was processed for enhanced and water bodies and springs were identified and extracted. Once identified and field verified, these springs were used to characterize groundwater within the MSFC site.

CH2MHill Inc, in support of the U.S. Air Forces Arnold Air Force Base

JAYA processed high-resolution thermal imagery data and integrated additional site specific data so that ground features such as springs and water seeps could be delineated. Ground features were identified with a high degree of confidence. Our groundwater hydrologist and field engineer physically located the identified springs and collected the required data for site characterization.
