The time series map shows 1) change in vegetation type and 2) change in area of invasive plants in the years 1962,1973 and 2005.Most notable is the correlation between emergent plants and water level; as water depth increases, the area of emergent plants decreases. The impact of water level on invasive species is non-conclusive.

The assignment this week was to utilize free online software to produce a semi-professional video. I am far from a knowledgeable film maker and found this to be a challenging and intimidating task. Somehow I made it through...my video even was recommended by the course instructor on the course discussion forum!
I chose to focus the content of my report on climate change in the pacific island region. Use the link below to navigate to the video. http://www.screencast.com/t/sreuxovtVe |
