Lab 2: Visualizing and Understanding the Sandbox Terrain Survey using ArcGIS

Image
Visualizing and Understanding the Sandbox Terrain Survey using ArcGIS Introduction             On Saturday, February 3 rd , a survey of a sandbox terrain was taken in the chilly February snow. The sandbox was a 114 cm x 114 cm square located to the east of Phillips Hall on the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire campus. The survey group created a terrain involving a ridge in the northern section of the sandbox with two hills in the southern portion. A grid was set up containing 6 cm x 6 cm squares that were used to perform a normal survey method. This lab utilizes ArcGIS software to create a visualize of the sandbox surveyed that day.             Before analyzing this data, the excel file needed to be normalized. Data normalization is simply the organization of data so that it can be easily analyzed. According to Whatis.com, “Database normalization is the process of org...

Lab 1: Creation of a Digital Elevation Surface using Critical Thinking Skills and Improvised Survey Techniques Introduction             The process of sampling is a simplification process that allows one to describe a whole population or area. One takes a sample of data from just a portion of the population or area and then applies those data points to the whole population or area. Major Sampling Techniques: •                   Random: This method takes data in a random fashion with no designated order. This technique works well within the surveying of a human population. •                    Regular: This technique provides a designated order for collecting data points. Regular sampling technique works well within a survey of a geographic area.              ...
