		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday’s post was about a site that categorized biomes with very fine divisions based on vegetation, soil moisture, surface lithology, etc., all with the underlying concept that for most areas this was a representation of an actual natural biome. The creators of the concept of anthropogenic biomes go in a different direction; they believe that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, the week of December 15-19, when I was supposed to be out doing field surveys in northern Arizona, we got snow. A lot of snow. And it kept going until about December 26th. It’s kind of hard to do a field survey when the ground is covered with snow, but I’ve been hoping the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) can be used to create high-resolution terrain data (sub-meter), detail good enough to show individual man-made features like buildings and bridges. It&#8217;s especially useful for analyzing terrain in areas that are in constant change, like coastlines. High-resolution coastal LIDAR data is available at this NOAA website for the entire US [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I posted the last in my series on animating sea level rise in Google Earth using raster overlays (the &#8220;Inconvenient Truth Effect&#8221;), and ended with the comment that I would do the same thing with vector overlays, and that doing it that way had some advantages over using raster overlays. Uh, maybe not.
