About QD

We provide advice and strategy based on analyses and interpretations
of data. Clients include private industry, law firms, nonprofit
organizations, and government agencies from around the world. Our
experience is strongest in Environmental Statistics and decision
analysis, where our principals have completed over 300 projects in the
last 15 years.
__________________________________________________________________

- Read the short case study Taking risks, Reaping the
Benefits for an example of our work. See the Qualifications pages for
more information.

- If you are searching for environmental investigation or
remediation services, take a look at the X-Interchange site. The
company is well established and top-notch.

- Our colleagues at AMO Environmental Decisions have been
doing good work in earth and environmental resource management for an
impressive list of clients, especially in the Northeastern US.
__________________________________________________________________

This site includes two "sub-webs" based on graduate-level courses we
have developed and taught. The Environmental Statistics web is an
introduction to the concepts and definitions--it is not a "cookbook"--,
but also includes valuable software and data available nowhere else.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a critically important
technology in our work. This web includes articles, presentations,
tutorials, and free software used in a one-semester introductory GIS
course.

We develop ArcView-based GIS software by request. If you have a task
that you think ArcView cannot do, or if you are losing time or money
performing repetitive tasks, drop us a line. We usually have a quick,
inexpensive solution. We have helped over 2,000 people with ArcView
needs since 1995.

Check out our latest software!

XSect displays vertical profiles of point data. This lets you look at
your data "from the side" to show how values vary with depth or
elevation along transects.

Applications exist in environmental sampling, mining, archeology,
surveying, geology, and many other fields.

See our Software catalog for more information or click on the image to
go directly to the XSect description. The extensively illustrated user
manual is free for download or browsing.

Caveat lector

Interested in keeping current with the GIS industry? There are plenty
of on-line sources of information, but if you peek beneath most of
them, you will find nothing but uncritical re-publication of
"location-based" marketjunk. However, two sites, both with free weekly
online newsletters, are especially useful and valuable.

-- Adena Schutzberg writes accurate, pithy, and timely commentary for
GISMonitor. See gismonitor/ for more information.

-- Joe Francica edits Directions Magazine, which publishes original
articles, columns, maps, and software. Visit
directionsmag

(If you believe you have found an online newsletter of equal or better
caliber, please contact us at the address below and let us know about
it!)

Site navigation

We post major changes in chronological order on our News pages--if you
are a returning visitor, check there for information on updates and
changes. Other topics of timely interest also appear on this home
page.

Many articles and presentations about environmental data analysis and
GIS are available through the Articles link.

We have upgraded the References section to include brief reviews of the
recommended books. Check it out!

Awards

- Our GIS Course "How to" pages have appeared in the "Top
Ten" links at TenLinks, a directory for engineers, designers, GIS
professionals, architects and other technical professionals.
- Our Sample extension for ArcView GIS 3.2 was awarded
second place in the ESRI 2000 Users Conference "Best Avenue Utility"
competition. This software is in use throughout the world for creating
arrays of regions ("grids," but in vector format), for designing
sampling plans, and much more.
- There used to be a nice illustration of our Reproject
Grids extension for ArcView on ESRI's ArcScripts Sample Spotlights
page. Now that it's gone, click on the image at left for a larger view
and link to the ArcScripts page for more information.
- The Directions Magazine "list of lists" provides
searchable access to all the major GIS-related online discussion lists
and their archives. This is a unique and exceptional resource for
answers to GIS-related questions.

- Check out the free software available from QD! We now
have 37 ArcView scripts, extensions, and utilities available at no
cost. Over 138,000 copies have been downloaded.

Find other ZORGIUM pages using your favorite search engine:

Enter your search keyword(s) and the keyword "zorgium" into the search input field of http://bing.com, http://yahoo.com or http://google.com.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.

DISCLAIMER: Zorgium is a free world-wide-web engine from AZ.COM. You may use it, but by doing so you agree that your use of other people's information discovered via our website is entirely your responsibility. Enjoy!
