In order to gain experience and familiarity using QGIS and CloudCompare, we created two maps this week showcasing two separate areas. Data was collected from Open Topography with UCSD and then imported to CloudCompare in order to convert the point cloud data to a raster DEM. We then transferred the new raster layer to QGIS, where we completed various methods data analyses. For my final maps, I chose to compare the relative slopes in the Devil's Canyon in Big Sur, CA against those of Cannon Beach, OR.Â
