Here at EGLE, we gather data and create ways to visualize data to make informed decisions in the work that we do.
We strive to innovate the ways we use powerful location-based tools to support EGLE's mission of protecting Michigan's environment and public health.
Every single division in the department uses GIS, which stands for Geographic Information Systems. GIS provides a way to map, analyze, and collect data that has a spatial component (like an address or coordinates).
Using GIS tools, we can visualize a location on a map and then we can layer many different types of locations on the same map. If we combine this location data with information about the location, GIS helps us better understand spatial patterns. GIS allows us to connect "where things are" with "what things are".
Learn how EGLE is using mapping technology to inform decisions and improve solutions.
