Final - Due Friday Dec 12, 2008 by Midnight PST.
You have found a rich source of freely downloadable data for your project working on streams. The problem is that they include all hydrologic data, including glaciers, and they are in the wrong projection for your project.
Write a program (or programs) that will take these vector data, extract the streams (coded 402 in field CFF1), reproject them to WGS84 Decimal Degree (don't forget the geographic transformation parameter), and clip them to the study area there.
Additionally add a new field to each file called SRC_Region and populate it with the name of the data set.
You have access to all resources normally available to you in this kind of
a project, EXCEPT other people. Do not talk to others in class about this. Do
NOT post a message on forum somewhere asking others to help you. You should
be able to write this program based on the programs you've already written this
term.
Hint: use ModelBuilder to make the projection part of the script.
I will be in class for the first 1/2 hour or so to answer any questions you may have. You may send an email to me that I will answer by sending a note back to the whole group. Good luck, relax and have fun!
12/9/2008: The data are in the class folder on the I drive, and in this zipfile.
Turn in your well commented code so that I can tell what you are doing at every step.
Instead of the above final, submit a project description for a project using your own data to solve a problem you are interested in. The description needs to be detailed enough that I can determine whether it is complex enough to substitute for the above final.
