Project ID 2215
Remote Sensing Data and Tools Framework for Haliburton Highlands Land Trust .
Project Overview
This project involves the collection and storage of Remote Sensing data and their information available on various websites as requested by our client Mr. Ralph Baehre for the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust (HHLT) in a PostgreSQL or Postgres database. Several automated workflows are also created so that the members of HHLT lacking a background in GIS (Geographic Information System) can easily perform the same types of habitat suitability analysis on new sets of data on the open source software QGIS.
