Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a powerful tool that allows one to visualize large amounts of complex, spatial data by creating and combining layers into customized maps.

We have the capability of geographically displaying species habitats, soil types, watershed and stream locations, National Wetland Inventory (NWI) areas, slope, and a variety of other spatial datasets.

In conjunction with current ESRI ArcGIS platforms, we utilize the EMD WindPro software to provide our wind energy clients with shadow flicker, preliminary noise and photo simulation models. These models illustrate the impacts a wind farm may have on the surrounding landscape and communities.

Shoener delivers high-quality custom GIS products and services in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. We have the technical skills and professional experience to offer a variety of GIS services. Our services range from creating maps that display information related to environmental and habitat analyses to creating sophisticated spatial analyses of vector and raster datasets. Some examples of our services are listed below.
