GIS & Mapping |

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allow to analyze any geographical reality from both a geometrically-symbolic point of view, both in terms of information content, thereby giving the possibility to integrate databases with conventional maps, and therefore generating analysis results otherwise not easily retrievable.
Direct result of the application of GIS, environmental thematic mapping plays a crucial role both in management and planning, both for basic research as indispensable tool in understanding ecosystems. The use of thematic maps for terrestrial areas is well developed: in these cases the actual and potential vegetation maps or soil maps are a key element in all environmental studies or within V.Inc.A., EIA and V.A.S..
Thanks to decades of experience of GIS Sector engineers and of its executives, having the necessary technical know-how and scientific, SELC is able to provide real solutions focused on customer needs, from setting up complex GIS providing expertise at every stage from initial design to final realization, in solutions each time more niche and ad hoc, or for simple cartographic processing or production of thematic maps for the various disciplines (soil maps, vegetation maps, maps faunal, floral cards, etc. ..).
The availability of these tools, integrated with the other operational areas (marine biology, terrestrial biology, environmental engineering, geology, soil science), allows SELC is always able to provide an innovative and high quality services, in line with latest technical and scientific developments, integrating this offer with a range of ancillary services ranging from creating 3D environments to support the planning / design, to the provision of map results on any media type.

International Site of Interest - Porto Marghera
Investigation activities, conducted by SELC regarding the dynamics of aquifers connected with the operations in the SIN Porto Marghera on behalf of the Consorzio Venezia Nuova - Water Authority of Venice, were concluded. The aim of the project was to provide insights for the management of the works already undertaken and to direct the design of new interventions. |
Investigations at the mouth of the Lido of Venice
At the pier south of the mouth of the Lido of Venice were conducted soil tests and characterization of marine sediments (DGRV 1019/2010) , with running of geognostic and CPTU investigations from platform to -30m deep. Samplings were carried out by boat by using a hydraulic vibrocorer; the samples were subsequently analyzed with regard to chemical, microbiological and geotechnical's aspects. |

Online the new business news channel where will be published the latest multimedia content related to SELC activites. |
Monitoraggio CORILA
In 2011 the collaboration between SELC and CORILA was continued for monitoring the terrestrial vegetation, the seagrasses and the terrestrial insects in the Venice lagoon. |
MITO2000 in Friuli Venezia Giulia Region
During 2012 Spring will be made the third year of monitoring of breeding birds, conducted according to the methods of the project MITO2000, on behalf of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region. The survey will be done in more than 300 point counts. |
Water Framework Directive (Direttiva Acque 2000/60)
As part of biological monitoring carried out on behalf of the Veneto Region-ARPAV for transitional environments, SELC had conducted during 2011 assessments on the state of quality of the Lagoon of Venice for the zoobenthic component. |
New Bioengineering activities
Experimental transplant of seagrass (Cymodocea nodosa and Zostera marina) in the lagoon of Venicewas completed. The operations were carried out using servo-assisted methods and clumps of large (> 1 square meter). The surgery was successful and ongoing monitoring showed high rates of colonization and low mortality.

New investigations on the Venetian Tegnùe
As part of a larger project by the Veneto Region and Water Authority of Venice in 2010-2011, SELC has conducted biological investigations on rocky outcrops a few kilometers off the coast, known as Venetian Tegnùe.

New mapping of seagrasses and macroalgae in the Lagoon of Venice
On behalf of the Water Authority of Venice has been updated to 2010 the mapping of seagrasses and macroalgae for the entire lagoon.
