+						<h2>Suitability Analysis, San Bernadino National Forest, California</h2>
+						<p>An analysis to identify suitable potetial locations for a new mining operation within an environmetally sensitive area of the San Bernadino National Forest near Big Bear, California. The area has high-grade calcium carbonate depoits. However, it also provides habitat for endangered plants that only grow on soils containing calcium carbonate. Four rare plants live only in this carbonate habitat: the Cushenbury buckwheat (Eriogonum ovalifolium var. vineum), the Cushenbury milk-vetch (Astragalus albens), the Cushenbury oxytheca (Acanthoscyphus (Oxytheca) parishii var. goodmaniana), Parish’s daisy (Erigeron parishii). An ArcGIS ModelBuilder model was created to incorporate various factors into the suitability analysis. Factors sutudied include accessibility, plant habitat sensitivity, and watershed sensitivity. The images below show parts of the ArcGIS ModelBuilder model and some of the maps generated from this model. Click on each map to view a larger image.</p>

+						<h2>Lyell Glacier, Yosemite National Park</h2>
+						<p>A study was conducted using remote sensing imagery to quantify the change in area of the Lyell glacier in Yosemite National Park, California. This analysis was performed using Landsat 7 imagery captured in late summer when it is easiest to distinguish permanent snow fields from other snow deposits. Mount Lyell is well known as the location of one of the few remaining glaciers in Yosemite. These glacier has been shrinking due to the impacts of global climate change. Today, the Lyell Glacier is considered a permanent snow field rather than a living glacier because it has ceased to flow. The extent and change in the area of permanent snow was assessed using both supervised and unspervised land cover classification techniques. The analysis was performed using QGIS software. Click on the buttons below to access the full report and a presentation of the analysis results.</p>
