1. GIS in the Driver's Seat
Spatial-Driven Invasive Species Management Strategies
Mobile GIS
John Chapman (Operations Planner/Analyst)
Keren Gundersen (Project Manager)
Hawai`i Pacific GIS Conference
March 6, 2012

2.  Case Study: Spatial-Driven Management Strategies
 Mongoose Detection on Kaua`i
 Mobile GIS Implementation – Taking GIS to the field

3.  Kaua`i is the only main Hawaiian island without a
large population of mongoose
 Kaua`i has the largest number of native bird species in
Hawai`i
 Known road kill in 1976
 Credible reports over the last 44 years
 Money for Detection
 What next?

9.  Fill in Data Gaps – (Missing crucial biological data)
 Data Dictionaries, Photos, etc.
 More Accurate Spatial Data
 Post-Processing Options
 Dynamic Map Access in the Field
 Ability to query and view Map Data
 Reduce printing costs
 Reduce carbon footprint

10. Recreational GPS
Hard Copy Maps Hard Copy Datasheets

11.  Decide on hardware and software to use
 Designing a workflow that mimics existing data entry
procedures
 Train field crew
 Automate as much of the process as possible
 GIS updates, datasheet downloads, etc
 Build in Quality Control Procedures

12. Mapping GPS - Terrasync Rugged Tablet PC - ArcGIS
Server

13.  Mapping GPS (Trimble Nomad and Terrasync)
 Data dictionaries
