Other Coverages and Rasters
In addition to the coverages listed above, we will be using data obtained from the Utah Department of Water Resources. This is taken from a concurrent project at USU conerned with mapping the various land uses of the entire state of Utah. This project is known as the "Private Lands" project. The data was collected by aerial photography as well as ground surveying.
GIS1 Group Meetings and Progress
April 5th ~ For our first meeting, we reviewed the html file that we created for our project. We have decided to create it in such a way as to allow others to pull up our progress reports with "hot" links. We also want to install coverages relating the data coverages we're going to be using for our field and data inquiries. We intend to use a Vector and Raster coverage. If possible, we would like to have our page accessible to others students at Utah State University. We also loaded Arc 7.0.2.
April 6th ~ We took time during this session to review all the data that is available in the /auto/gisclass/data directory. This is the time when we decided to emphasize a few of the coverages that might relate to our specific project. This is how we decided on the previously mentioned coverages listed above. We also found that the ArcView Tutorital was not accessable. We also learned more about using the tables within ArcView by using the command bar above the "View."
April 12th ~ More study using the coverages listed above. Used the tables to determine if they are really pertinent to our study and in what way they could be used to benefit both our field surveys as well as our database inquires. At this time, we decided to check if it would be possible for us to use the GPS (Global Positioning System) of the Geography Department. Dr. Ramsey said this would be O.K. We will need to do some reading up to use it.
April 13th ~ During this session we pulled into Arc the compressed DEM model data for Cache Valley. We learned the hard way not to name directories with a capital letter, like it suggests in "Unix for Dummies", ironic huh? Anyways, we combined all the grids to form one raster coverage for the entire valley. We have had, however, trouble pulling it up in Imagine and Arcview.
We intend to use the GPS to do some accurate field surveys and possibly get some amateur aerial photographs for our presentation at the end of the quarter. We have a friend that is willing to take us up for a very reasonable fare; gas costs. This report covers progress up and through April 16th, 1995.
