Apps in GIS Lahar mapping


 
This week in Applications in GIS we worked with vector and raster data in the area of Mt. Hood Oregon. First we manipulated raster elevation data to reflect "streams" or areas of possible lahar inundation. This was a process that took many steps but the outcome was a  vector file, a vector "stream" file from raster elevation data.....I thought that was pretty impressive.  We were then able to relate the possible lahar inundation areas to populated areas.
