Biological Processing using GIS.

• Marc Russell Department
  of Marine Science GIS in Hydrology
  Fall 2001

Project Purpose.

• To integrate a basic biological processing model
  into a functioning hydro-network.
• To access the usefulness of ArcGIS to consolidate
  and visualize large complex data sets.

Future Work.

• Complete a realistic biological model.
• Fully integrate the model into G.I.S.
• Include lakes and other large processing areas.
• This is Exciting Stuff!! from Dr. Maidments
  soon to be published book of great G.I.S. quotes.

Dr. Maidment - The Coolest GIS teacher I know.
Thanks from everyone here for teaching a great
class. Dr. Montagna Who understands that data
is best talked about over Tex-Mex and a beer.
