exeGesIS were contracted to review the available historic and cultural data and options for a website and mobile app, as part of the Long Forest project in Wales. We considered a wide range of possible options for the website and mobile app, including crowdsourced hedgerow mapping and survey data collection and management.

This desktop application imports archives from the UKDMOS database into SQL Server and converts the spatial data into SQL geometry layers. It creates layers that can be used by JNCC when assessing the extent of UK marine monitoring according to each broad marine discipline (e.g. biodiversity, physical oceanography and fisheries).

Early in 2014 exeGesIS completed a base line survey of the 200 km long South Downs Way. We provided a website for online entry of condition survey information, which was uploaded directly to our CAMS software for analysis and reporting. National Park Officers were also able to assign additional tasks to volunteers through the website.

The Archbishops’ Council Faculty Simplification Group commissioned a working party to make recommendations for modernising and streamlining the faculty system. As part of this endeavour, ChurchCare - the Church of England's national resource - together with Exegesis, developed the Church Heritage Record and Online Faculty System.

exeGesIS were contracted to create and refine a complete provisional inventory of Open Mosaic Habitat (OMH) in England. We used a combination of available data sources and aerial photograph interpretation to accurately map possible OMH, also capturing information on the confidence that OMH was present.

exeGesIS quickly and efficiently standardised existing polygon data to MESH Translated Habitat DEF using a range of tools within ArcGIS, QGIS, GRASS and MapInfo. We also imported survey data into Marine Recorder following expert analysis of the data to determine biotopes.

The Kintyre Way is a long-distance trail around the Kintyre Peninsula in Scotland, managed by a partnership of Argyll & Bute Council and The Long and Winding Way organisation. In 2013, exeGesIS assisted in setting up the management system for the trail, providing training to the trail managers and a full baseline survey of the trail.

exeGesIS were contracted to undertake a review of Spartina anglica in England’s Natura 2000 Sites. This covered its impacts on designated features, effects on accretion and erosion, distribution and extent, and a review of control techniques. A protocol was developed to monitor S. anglica and help identify any negative impact.

Working with Central Bedfordshire Council, exeGesIS developed a mobile solution for data collection in the field. This presented us with a number of technical challenges, including how to synchronise with CAMS data and how to work "offline" when there is no mobile or wifi signal. The result has been a highly robust and flexible application.

exeGesIS were contracted to investigate the distribution of non-native species on protected sites in England, to help develop a programme of work to tackle Invasive Non-Native Species. Large scale data analysis was used to determine which protected site each species occurred within. We also reviewed data flow within Natural England.
