GIS Landuse Database

The overall objective of the GIS Landuse Database project is to develop updated, current year (2000-04) GIS databases for use in air quality and emission inventory development efforts. Specific uses of these data may include the following:

• air quality analysis and support of source attribution/apportionment activities;
• improvement of near-field activity data and analysis of emissions strengths; and
• provide more uniform landuse and demographic data to make temporally consistent regional estimates of biogenics, ammonia, and windblown dust emissions, as well as providing a consistent baseline for area source activity data and planning
• development of appropriate GIS data layers for Canada and Mexico

Project Contacts: Gerry Mansell and Alison Pollack of ENVIRON.
