GDC personnel are leaders in bringing an ecological approach to forest management, oil and gas development, mining, reclamation, urban planning, and recreation development. From site-specific to landscape-level planning, GDC uses cutting-edge statistical and GIS modelling to provide an integrated approach for evaluating and managing natural resources. In employing this holistic approach, land managers not only can achieve their business objectives, but can also retain the long-term viability of the landbase. As resource management consultants, we incorporate the latest scientific approaches with advanced technology and innovative ideas, offering clients the analytical and interpretive framework to meet their business planning and strategic needs. Within this context, impact assessments and mitigation (as well as cumulative effects), can be modelled within an integrated resource management framework to facilitate the development and implementation of effective management and decision support systems.
