What is GIS and how can Esk Spatial help you?

According to National Geographic, “A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system for capturing, storing, checking, and displaying data related to positions on Earth’s surface. By relating seemingly unrelated data, GIS can help individuals and organisations better understand spatial patterns and relationships”. If your organisation is looking to unlock the full potential of GIS, then Esk Spatial is your go-to partner. Please reach out, as we’re here to help!

Supporting you navigate through forestry and carbon and the emerging Nature Repair Market

Esk Spatial is a leading Australian firm providing Plantation suitability modelling, carbon modelling and FullCAM modelling services. Plantation suitability modelling uses geospatial data to identify areas suitable for specific tree species, guiding afforestation efforts and resulting in higher carbon sequestration rates. Forest carbon modelling estimates carbon stocks and fluxes in ecosystems to determine the impact of land use changes on the global carbon balance.

FullCAM Modelling is a comprehensive carbon accounting model the Australian Government uses to estimate greenhouse gas emissions and removals, supporting national and international reporting on climate change and informing policies related to carbon pricing and emissions reduction targets. Let Esk help you turn your plantation plans into a commercial venture.

Testimonials

Matthew Bloomfield

Thank you for the work done by yourself and others at Esk Spatial. I have read the final report, I don’t have any issues or queries. I will forward the report to our senior legal officer for review, I don’t expect any questions from her either.

I really appreciate Esk’s communication and flexibility to meet the EPA’s needs. The final products are very professional and address the needs of the EPA well. Hopefully, we will not need such services on a regular basis, however, should we need to there will be no hesitation to engage with Esk.

[We] are extremely happy with the professional relationship between TLC and Esk Spatial. From my end I appreciate Esk Spatial having institutional knowledge on TLC’s GIS setup as it provides a level of redundancy for a small organisation like us.

I have also been advised the EskDesk support [key Eskie] has been providing to TCL staff has been fantastic to facilitate trouble shooting, running ideas by, as well the technical knowledge to support upgrades etc.
