PROJECTS
GeomorphIS is involved in a diverse range of projects incorporating geospatial information systems and technologies and environmental applications. Representative examples are described below.


A/E Services for VA San Diego Hospital New Facilities Design

US Forest Service Hazardous Fuels Reduction and Vegetation Management

Army Corps eCoastal Geodatabases for Los Angeles Shoreline Data

Desert Tortoise Mortality and Density Study

ACB-1 Geospatial Intergration Services

Caltrans Hazardous Waste Site Investigation

Camp Pendleton Grow the Force Planning

Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan

Navy Medical Center San Diego Hazardous Materials Business Plan Mapping

NAVFAC Environmental Management GIS Services

Joint Protection Enterprise Network (JPEN) Internet Mapping

A/E Services for VA San Diego Hospital New Facilities Design
GeomorphIS is supporting the A/E Prime with environmental compliance and surveying services for a Veterans Affairs Medical Center facilities design. GeomorphIS is providing topographic surveying, environmental assessment, and phase I preservation tasks required for construction at the VA San Diego hospital complex.
US Forest Service Hazardous Fuels Reduction
GeomorphIS is providing environmental planning services to the USFS in support of the Los Angeles River Ranger District’s future fuels and vegetation management activities in the Camp Trask and Loomis Ranch areas. The GeomorphIS Team was contracted to survey and report on biological, air quality, hydrological, and visual quality factors needed to identify extraordinary circumstances to be considered in the District’s NEPA planning process.
eCoastal Geodatabases for Los Angeles Shoreline Data
GeomorphIS assisted the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Los Angeles District by building and implementing geodatabases for the Coast of California Storm and Tidal Waves Study (CCSTWS). The eCoastal database schema was developed by USACE as an enterprise geodatabase solution for the management of coastal resource information. GeomorphIS also developed raster imagery geodatabases, developed standardized mapping templates for the District, created map series, and provided technology transfer and training to USACE staff.
Desert Tortoise Mortality and Density Study
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has undertaken studies to determine the effect of fencing on desert tortoise mortality and population densities along highways in the Mojave Desert. GeomorphIS has provided Agrarian Research with development of transect locations and maps (for approximately 100 miles of survey transects), field surveying, and database development.
Tortoise transects
ACB-1 Geospatial Integration Services
GeomorphIS supported the Navy's Amphibious Construction Battalion One (ACB-1) exercises at Camp Pendleton through implementation of GPS tracking (of vehicles and vessels), deployment of TerraConcepts' GeoIntel MapBook solution, and staff training and field support. These capabilities allowed ACB-1 staff to capture and analyze near-real-time spatial data for tactical and strategic mission analysis and decision-making.
Caltrans Kleinfelder Team
Hazardous Waste Site Investigation

GeomorphIS is working with Kleinfelder Consultants to support aerially deposited lead investigations at planning sites along interstate highways. GeomorphIS provides mapping of laboratory analysis results at sampling locations and produces GIS geodatabases containing lab analytical results linked to sample location characteristics. This information will guide soil handling procedures during construction.

Camp Pendleton Grow the Force Planning
GeomorphIS supports EDAW | AECOM with planning and environmental assessment tasks required for Grow the Force construction and development underway at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. GeomorphIS has mapped environmental constraints throughout proposed construction areas, created new GIS data delineating habitat types important for threatened and endangered species, mapped watersheds throughout the Base, and created map series for NEPA planning and reporting documents

Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP)
GeomorphIS provided GIS analysis and mapping products for the MCASM INRMP, assessing relationships between the military mission and impacts on biological resources and concerning topics such as land use and training area constraints; vernal pools; and distributions of species of special concern such as Willowy Monardella, California Gnatcatcher,
and Least Bell's Vireo.

Navy Medical Center San Diego
Hazardous Materials Business Plan Mapping
GeomorphIS provided GIS and mapping support for approximately three dozen Navy medical and dental clinics in Southern California. Mapping products are included in the Navy's Hazardous Materials Business Plans, as well as Storm water Management, and Pollution Prevention Plans. Data in various formats, including CAD, GIS, and TIF were gathered as well as field data for features such as hazardous materials, storm drains, hydrants, and wells.

NAVFAC Environmental Management GIS Services
GeomorphIS provided GIS services to Tetra Tech ECI for Naval Facilities (NAVFAC) environmental monitoring and restoration and Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) activities at California installations including Hunters Point, Alameda, Concord, Miramar, North Island, and Moffett. GIS was used to create graphics and maps for the Navy, regulators, and for public information. Processing included querys of
the master Oracle database, aerial photography incorporation into GIS, and collaboration with subject matter experts, deriving spatial analysis layers such as contamination plumes and groundwater contours.


Joint Protection Enterprise Network (JPEN) Project
JPEN is a rapidly prototyped, command and control capability designed to prevent security attacks at Department of Defense facilities through
the sharing of integrated Force Protection Information.
Working with New Age Systems, GeomorphIS provided GIS support that included ESRI ArcIMS Internet mapping and ArcSDE spatial database products.
