As part of our role to promote and conduct research on environmental assessment and promote sound environmental assessment practices, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is exploring the analytical and integrative potential of a Geographical Information Systems (GIS)-based application to assess cumulative effects and inform regionally-based approaches to EA. The purpose of this poster is to raise awareness of this new initiative, still in its conceptual stage, and solicit any suggestions or comments with respect to its design and development.
