Marc Goldman, Director of AEC Industry at Esri recently wrote a blog around Environmental Consulting.

Environmental consulting integrates multiple disciplines to navigate the complex interplay between projects and their environmental contexts. It involves collaboration among experts in biology, sociology, and physical sciences, as well as architects, engineers, and construction professionals, to address daily environmental industry challenges. These experts play a crucial role in a variety of projects, deciphering interaction between humans and their natural surroundings to identify, examine, and address intricate issues. The geographical aspect of every environmental factor, be it biodiversity, habitat, pollution, or regulatory compliance, must be well understood by environmental consultants. Learn more about how you can:

  • apply location data for environmental insights

The Future of GIS in Environmental Consulting

GIS technology has been providing the environmental consulting industry with comprehensive solutions that incorporate the latest technology, comply with regulations, and enables more effective ways to engage with stakeholders. It enhances the understanding of project contexts, enables effective collaboration, and empowers decision-makers with powerful visualization tools.

Environmental consultants have a unique opportunity to shape a meaningful digital transformation within the environmental industry, going beyond current day-to-day workflows. More efficient, digital data collection, data management, communication, and submission processes, produce results that provide a deeper understanding of potential impacts in less time, and at many scales.
