Spatial viewing of information through a Geographic Information System (GIS) provides a truly hands-on approach to discussing ecosystem management and impacts of human activities on physical and biological systems; it is why spatial data analysis underlies all of the projects at Stillwater Sciences. Our services include:

• Bathymetric surveys using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)
• Stream network generation
• LiDAR surface creation
• Groundwater depth estimates
• Sediment modeling (landslides, production, delivery)
• Fish habitat assessment and flow
• Stream temperature predictions (including climate change scenarios)
• Riparian recruitment under various flow and climate scenarios
• Customized interfaces integrating maps and databases
• MAXENT species distribution modeling under climate change scenarios

Our analysis includes relatively simple mapping exercises such as developing detailed stream channel networks, as well as more cutting-edge modeling and analyses such as predicting basin-wide stream temperatures or fish population estimates. Our talented GIS team provides high-end cartographic production and develops web applications to help our clients best view and organize their data. In addition, we actively collaborate with university scientists at the University of California (Berkeley, Davis, and Santa Barbara campuses) and University of Washington.

We provide GIS and Spatial Analysis services for Federal agencies through our GSA contract.
