For the second half of the summer term you will have an option of doing a project instead of working in the GIS Tutorial 3 book. This project will deal with wind farms, wind energy, and/or wind turbines. Remember the DNR site for great data. Some project ideas are:
-Finding ideal locations for wind farms in Iowa
| Article |
-Creating noise pollution maps
