Welcome to the Southeast Region GIS Website
The Southeast Region GIS Steering Committee welcomes you to the Southeast Region GIS website. This site is a great way to stay tapped into the GIS knowledge base in the region. Our Projects link takes you to a page featuring examples of GIS work throughout the region. Our region has some great talent and this page is your chance to see the results of their hard work. Can't figure it out? Our Support page is filled with links to the GIS gurus in the region. Our ATSCs (area technical support centers) are your connection to solving the many complex problems associated with GIS. One of the greatest challenges in GIS is finding accurate spatial data. Our Data Links page is your connection to the best spatial data in the region. Finally, our Contacts page displays the most up-to-date list of GIS users in the Southeast Region. Thanks for visiting and please bookmark this site. We will strive to keep it fresh with the information you need to produce great results!
White-Nose Syndrome Creeps Towards the Southeast Region
Tens of thousands of hibernating bats died in the Northeast during the winter of 2007-2008, and we don’t know why. In and around caves and mines in Vermont,eastern and upstate New York, western Massachusetts, and northwestern Connecticut, biologists found sick, dying, and dead bats in unprecedented numbers,including several hundred endangered Indiana bats, all apparently infected by a fungus that often forms white tufts on the bats’ muzzles, giving it the name “white-nose syndrome,” or WNS..
The map below is an example of products created by GIS staff to track and forecast the progression of white-nose syndrome in the Southeast Region.

Southeast Region GIS Provides Support for the Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership - SARP
The Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership (SARP) is a regional collaboration of natural resource and science agencies, conservation organizations and private interests developed to strengthen the management and conservation of aquatic resources in the southeastern United States.
The mission of SARP is to work with partners to protect, conserve and restore aquatic resources including habitats throughout the Southeast for the continuing benefit, use and enjoyment of the American people.
Regional GIS staff have taken the lead to provide mapping and spatial analysis for SARP. The map displayed above is an example of products being developed to support SARP and its many initiatives.
