Preparation
This week sees the beginning of a new project, the creation of a story map that shares information on the landscape footprint of an extreme coal mining practice - Mountain Top Removal.
In addition to the description of the practice shared above, we will be performing analyses of the how a regions hydrology and topography is impacted by this kind of mining. Preparations for this week included generation of hydrological rasters and shapefiles from an assigned study area (see below) and setting up a placeholder site for a story map that will be used to share the analysis once it is complete.
