Lab 6

For the sixth lab of GEOG 400, I was provided with an elevation dataset that was collected in the field. Using this point cloud and Triangulated Irregular Networks (TINs) I created a DEM of a tributary of the John Day River in East central Oregon. Along with this DEM, I was also instructed on how to create a model of the depth of the tributary, which is overlaid on the DEM. It's definitely worth noting that 99% of this spatial analysis was only possible through well-planned data collection. Without line features defining the extent of the river banks and careful categorization of data points, there would be a lot less to display here.
