Peter Espie and Graeme Hall described an ecological GIS for the Mackenzie Basin in 1989. Their work brought vegetation, fauna, landform, soil and other information from the Protected Natural Areas survey into a microcomputer GIS. Users could classify the records by an ecological attribute or examine combinations such as vegetation type and landform. Results could be mapped in two or three dimensions.
