Dec/2005 IGIST has been awarded a contract to perform spatial analyses on logging skid trails for the US Forest Service in 3 national forests in California.
The locations of logging skid trails were collected by the Forest Service through the use of GPS equipment. IGIST was tasked to put these data into a GIS and develop a spatial model to analyze trail density. By running this model against a skid trail network, a map can be produced depicting segments of trails in terms of their proximity to other trails. The model can be run against mapped skid trails in other forests—it isn't restricted to a single set of data.
Nov/2005 IGIST has been awarded a contract to perform web development for OMNI, a social science research company based in Denver, CO.

Additionally it allows the mapping and graphing of how much money is being spent on various social issues throughout the state. Thus the database helps match "funders" with "fundees", and vice versa, and so streamline the funding of projects in the areas of the most need. IGIST, as a subcontractor to Elroi Consulting, is helping OMNI deploy this database on the Internet, and incorporate GIS into the website.
