Progress for 4/10

Today I have been working on the new orthophotos I have downloaded and luckily they seem to have been taken in the Spring/Summer. I was able to complete finding the rock glaciers in Ouray County and the area around Telluride. I am using these datasets as the basis for my poster, since I am not sure that I will have a fully completed database by next week.

I also had a chance to move the labels I created in Google Earth over to an ArcGIS point shapefile based on their latitude/longitude. So far I have about 30 rock glaciers in Ouray and Telluride. Based on the +600 number in the other paper, I'm sure I have a long way to go. I am also using the statistics generated from the original glacier inventory (like elevations >2,500m) to make the searching process a bit easier. I will post more information on this as soon as I get it.

I have also been putting together my poster. So far I have my abstract and a ton of screenshots to choose from. I am also working on a flowchart for my project methodology and some other things. It seems to be coming together nicely and I hope to be finished with this by this weekend if at all possible.

Currently completed 50/90 hours as of 4/10/2009
