Ruth Askevold - Using Historical Maps to Recreate Calif Indigenous Landscapes in GIS 3of3

Pt 3of3 Ruth Askevold's talk during GIS Day at UC Berkeley. She continues to examine bay area wetlands and features turned to farmland, the use of resources to determine alluvial settlement, and showing area through time. She reviews avenues of research, and with his permission, shows a few slides of the work of Chuck Striplen, a UC Berkeley graduate student and also an Ohlone tribe decendent, who is working with SFEI, and uses large scale data, remote sensing and cultural resources.

hi rob. thanks for the comment. you are right. i tweeked the volume with different software but it was either too distorted and the final result still remains fairly quiet :( really too bad as ruth really shared alot of insights. the whole thing was shot at very last minute by my cell phone as my digital camera died. it seems the sound is better when heard using headphones on a mac with volume turned up.
