No install on the Forestry network yet. Jerry to get with Mark K. about getting the install up and out to folks ASAP
Theresa – 1) US Forest Service is changing their official datum to NAD83. This will affect her projects and require updating some of the metadata. 2) 3D Analyst can do a cross-section, or “profile graph,” of a polyline crossing a 3D surface, but, strangely, it is not easy to extract the source data used to make that graph. 3) She wants to find a way to visualize air currents and microclimatic fluctuations in a small watershed. Terralyn says that Curt Vandetta is doing ocean currents visualization, albeit in planar/2D views, and this may provide some ideas for Theresa.
Dave – He is starting to prepare metadata for a number of his GIS layers. Remember him in this time of trial.
Kelly – He is working on a collaborative project with NOAA and others. Someone at NOAA has developed an ArcView 3.2 script that generates watersheds, stream buffers, and associated landscape attributes from selected stream reaches.
Keith – He is working on visualizing urban areas, in relation to forest encroachment.
Jerry – She receives a lot of GIS questions from students and others. She often suggests that they write to one of the campus GIS listserves, but also sends some people to Theresa.
Ray – He is finishing a new “high-resolution” dataset for a fire/climate model run in the lower 48 states: a 36 km grid cell. Next spring they are going to get even finer scaled: 4 km grid cell.
