ESPM 4295 - Fall 2009
Each year students in ESPM4295 perform a project in data
development and analysis for resource inventory, planning, and use. This year our task is to inventory trees and impervious surface for St. Anthony Park, just west of the St. Paul Campus, collect attributes, and rank area suitability,
on an ordinal scale, for tree planting. Ranking will be based on current canopy density, threats from the emerald ash borer, amount of impervious surface, and amount of bare soil, fields, or grass suitable for planting.
The main outputs for ESPM4295 students will develop spatial data for a study area, perform a ranking analysis, and write a comprehensive report. Each ESPM4295 student will produce an individual report, although you may work collaboratively on some pieces of this project.
