EDIS (Environmental Domain Interrogation System):

I programmed this application to help analyze polygons of climactic and geographical data, and provide useful graphic based representations of results, that could be interrogated. This was to be a portable application, that functioned well as a Geographical Information Systems tool, without requiring expensive GIS software/hardware to run.

This is a sample of the output generated from EDIS. The user could interrogate the maps and obtain latitude, longitude, and representative data about specific locations.





 
SeedWhere:
A Seed Allocation Decision Support Tool

This application helped users find similarity in climactic and geographical conditions between a given location and its surroundings, to help people determine suitable locations for planting seeds. The user chose a geographical point (latitude, longitude, or UTM coordinate) to compare climactic and other data from that location's surroundings.

The tool used an algorithm that analyzed respective trends in climate, and other relavent variables, to obtain map based output that graphically showed the similarity of the chosen location (ie. for precipitation trends, climate, and any number of other trends) to its surrounding environment.

Administrators could set up their own "grids", or regions to analyze. Forestry Canada (whom I developed this application for) had access to a great deal of climactic and geographical data with which analysis could take place.









 
SeedWhere:
A Seed Allocation Decision Support Tool

This is one of the analysis screens. Extensive help text was on most screen to guide the most novice of users through the analysis process. The user on this screen would choose the grid and respective points to analyze. Preferences for each grid, and points of interest for analysis could be saved and recalled later.

This is sample output from the Seedwhere application. The gradient indicates the level of similarity of the chosen location to its surrounding environment.
