Original Models
Each of the three maps shown here is the result of running a simple
GIS model on the original DEM and original landcover data sets. These maps
may be usefully compared with the probability maps generated through propagating
data uncertainty through the GIS model.
Sea Level Rise
Areas at risk of inundation are concentrated in the southwest and comprise
a small portion of the quadrangle.
Landslide Risk
Two small urban areas are at risk; along the north face of a feature
in the southeast known locally as "the Mesa", and a few cells in the north
central portion of the quadrangle.
Banana Suitablity
Areas deemed suitable by the model for raising bananas are scattered
throughout the northern portion of the quadrangle, generally occurring
in the north-south running canyons.
