Berry
& Associates // Spatial Information Systems (BASIS) provides both advising
and training in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology emphasizing natural resource
and environmental applications. The company was founded in 1988 by Joseph K.
Berry, a leading consultant and educator in GIS. Dr. Berry served 12 years on the faculty
of the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies where he conducted
basic research and taught introductory and advanced courses in remote
sensing and GIS. He
currently has a special faculty appointment at Colorado State University
and is the Keck Scholar at the University of Denver. He is the author
of the Academic Map Analysis Package (aMAP) and MapCalc
Educational Materials that have been used by universities worldwide for
instruction in computer-assisted map analysis. He has written more
than 200 papers and presented hundreds of seminars and workshops on GIS technology. His textbooks Map
Analysis: Understanding Spatial Patterns and Relationships, Spatial Reasoning
for Effective GIS, Beyond Mapping: Concepts, Algorithms, and
Issues, workbooks
Analyzing Geo-Spatial Resource
Data, Analyzing Geo-Business Data,
Analyzing Precision Ag Data,
and online books The Precision Farming Primer and Beyond Mapping III: Procedures and Applications in GIS Modeling
are based on his popular articles published in GeoWorld magazine
from 1989 to the present.
BASIS helps clients design
and implement GIS systems,
develop advanced analytic algorithms, and design spatial models for a wide
variety of applications. Past clients include Sanborn, New Century
Software, PhotoScience, Weyerhaeuser Company, IBM
Corporation, US Forest Service, US Bureau of Land Management, US Geological Survey, Georgia
Transmission Company, New Century Software, USWest Communications, INIFAP

Systems.
BASIS offers both on-site
and general workshops on the concepts and considerations in GIS technology with particular emphasis on
grid-based map analysis and modeling. These presentations include
general awareness, introductory, advanced and specially designed workshops
from one-day to two weeks. All of the courses strike an effective
balance between theory and hands-on exercises tailored to the
audience. Over four hundred workshops have been presented in the past
twenty years to organizations including the US Forest Service, Fish and
Wildlife, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Natural
Resources Conservation Service, GIS
World, ITT Rayonier
Timberlands, Ag/INNOVATOR Institute, BDA Environmental Consultants, and
numerous universities, institutes and international conferences.
BASIS distributes MapCalc
software for advanced grid-based map analysis and modeling with
extensive support materials for extensive "real-time"
demonstrations, prototypes of GIS
models and "hands-on" exercises used in most of the BASIS training sessions. The MapCalc software is the result of
integrating Red Hen Systems SoilRx
precision agriculture software with Spatial Information Systems pMAP map analysis
software. SoilRx provides the Windows environment for management and
display of raster maps, as well as spatial interpolation and extended statistical
analysis capabilities. pMAP (Professional Map Analysis
Package) provides spatial analysis and spatial data mining capabilities. The combination is a powerful, yet
inexpensive and easy-to-use package for grid-based map analysis and
modeling.
