  1. Establish GIS for the TW Daniel Experimental Forest (TWDEF) Field Area and Export TWDEF Information to the Google Earth CEE 6440, GIS in Water Resources Term Project Fall 2006 Vinod Mahat Department of Civil and Environment Engineering Utah State University

  2. Introduction Motivation • TWDEF area has been research site for many researchers • Substantial investement in research instruments • My research site Objective • To establish a connection of all the information regarding instrumentations with available data and topographical and geographical feature of the TWFDEF area to the geographical information system. Plans • Data Collection • Collection of the information regarding the infrastructures, instrumentation and other important information • Delineation of the extent of the TWDEF area • Preparation of the site, location and regional map for the TWDEF • Export into into the Google earth.

  3. Introduction Location: • TWDaniel Experimental Forest • Utah (41.860N, 111.500W) • 30km N-E of Logan • 2600m elevation • 0.25 km2 area Climatic condition • Av. annual Prep.= 950mm(80% snow) • Av. monthly low temp.= -100c • Av.monthly high temp.= 14.50c • Forest= Aspen and Conifer • Non Forest= Open midow with • grasses ,sagebrush

  4. Introduction

  5. Data Collection Data collected from Internet • DEM • National Hydrography data set • Orthographic map • Topographic map • Access information (Road) • County’s boundaries Data collected from Other sources • GPS data for the position of the instruments • Data for the boundary of the area • GPS data for the road inside the boundary • Data of the cables • GPS data for the position of the other structures e.g. cabin, old precipitation station etc. • Hydrological data
