 Proactive disclosure Print version   | |  GSDNR Communicator: Summer 2004 This information represents activities in the Earth Sciences Sector Programs (2002-2006). Please refer to Priorities for information on current Earth Sciences Sector Programs.
Once the program and its projects were underway, we felt the need to further examine the relevance of basic geospatial information for natural resource management. Thus, over the past few months an impact assessment of the program's products and activities was undertaken. Information received through this exercise is not only enabling the program to make adjustments to various projects but is also spurring the evolution of the program to better align it with user needs and government priorities. Much work still needs to be done with respect to impact assessment, but results to date look promising. It is in this context that the current edition of The GSDNR Communicator offers you some interesting examples of the applications of products and services produced by the program. As our impact assessment progresses, we will be able to provide a more detailed picture of the importance of GSDNR's information to ensure the sound management of Canada's natural resources. Enjoy your reading! Éric Loubier Program Manager The GSDNR Communicator: Summer 2004

Since its inception, the GSDNR program has invested considerable time and effort in establishing projects that meet the needs of geospatial information users. GSDNR's portfolio of projects was developed following consultations with organizations involved in natural resource management.
