(UT), 1996 Field Program
Collected field data using Trimble GPS Pathfinder for
wildlife and canal surveys and for updates to 7.5-minute topographic
maps. This included walking, hiking, biking, and horseback riding various
trails and protected areas, collecting field inventory data, GPS location
data (point, trails, roads, and other “stream” or continually
measured data), and adding or developing related attribute tables. Raw
data was transferred to a field laptop, and differentially corrected
using Pathfinder software, and eventually loaded into ARC/INFO. Working
from Forest Service field offices, edited, digitized and queried map
data using ESRI ARC/INFO and ArcView software for completion of data
analysis on RS / 6000. Wrote AML and AWK code to process GIS files.
