No really, what should I DO?

Simplistic GIS models

… Perhaps it will helpto review what we’vereally been doing!

Statistics – overlays and spatial selection

Bolivia flood area- used for zonal population statistics

Worldwide earthquakes- spatial relationship to plate boundaries

Assumptions vs. ‘Reality’

Flowlines developed off a DEM

Flowlines from theNational Hydrography Dataset

More careful analysis by the USGS:

Tephra

Lahars

Simplified models can give you good information – just make assumptions clear!

Extrapolating information…

We’ve seen how to interpolate point data to information we can use in a 3D scenario

What to email in by next Thursday …

1. I am interested in finding out… (brief paragraph)This is your topic of interest and hypothesis

2. Datasets likely needed (list)

3. How I intend to use the data (a few sentences)Don’t worry if this feels uncertain right now…Your analysis approach will firm up,we’re just looking for a first step idea.

This isn’t graded! We just want to get you on the right track.
