Planning for Wind Energy: GIS-Powered Visual Impact Assessments. Award-winning poster presented by Nicholas Floersch at the Northeast Arc Users Group (NEARC) 22nd Annual Conference, Burlington, Vermont, November 4-7, 2007. Using projects in New York and Maine, the poster demonstrates what sorts of simulations to support a visual impact assessment can be created using spatial data and a GIS.
