The top blue bar goes to a process map called the Knowledge BackboneSM, and the bottom blue bar goes to a mapping index called the Infinite GridSM.
| · 01_Excel_SpreadSheet_Top | An Excel spread-sheet was made from data provided under contract with Sue Finstick of Bulloch Brothers Engineering, Inc. The purpose of this data collection was to build a geologic framework for studying nitrate movements in Cedar Valley aquifers. | |
| · 02_Excel_SpreadSheet_Middle | This capture of data further down in the spread-sheet shows how lithology, color, water, and cumulative thickness of water produced were set up. | |
| · 03_Converting_Drilling_Reports_ot_Maps | The Excel spread-sheet required converting well locations tied to Section Boundaries to a regular X,Y grid. This digital photograph shows the X,Y grid which was drawn over sections taken from USGS Topographic Maps. | |
| · 04_Spotfire_Map_Depth_Drilled | Spotfire (see http://www.spotfire.com) is a commercial data visualization and data mining tool which reads data from spread-sheets or SQL databases. This display plots the X,Y locations for each well, and the square is colored according to the depth the well was drilled as shown on the scale in the bottom right corner. | |
| · 05_Scaled_Basemap | Spotfire has add-ons which can accomodate ESRI vector basemaps. Alternatively, a raster image can be made and placed in the background. This series of images shows a process known as The Infinite GridSM, to generate a map at the appropriate scale for bacground context. These maps were generated from Cornell's Digital Earth initiative. | |
| · 06_IG_Map_Completed_Depth | Here the water wells in Cedar Valley are colored and sized according to completed depth, as shown on the scale in the lower right corner. | |
| · 07a_Thickness_Water | This is the first of a series of 3-D displays, where the cumulative thickness of the Well Report identified water column are displayed. The size of the well-bore is increased proportional to the cumulative thickness of the water column. | |
| · 07b_Thickness_Water | This is the second of the 3-D displays, and if the displays are downloaded and stepped through rapidly the resulting animation provides a 3-Dimensional evaluation of the data. This can be done in real-time with the Spotfore software. | |
| · 07c_Thickness_Water | This is the third of the 3-D displays. | |
| · 07d_Thickness_Water | This is the fourth of the 3-D displays. | |
| · 07e_Thickness_Water | This is the fifth of the 3-D displays. | |
| · 07f_Thickness_Water | This is the sixth of the 3-D displays. | |
| · 07g_Thickness_Water | This is the seventh of the 3-D displays. | |
| · 07h_Thickness_Water | This is the eighth of the 3-D displays. | |
| · 07i_Thickness_Water | This is the nineth of the 3-D displays. | |
| · 07j_Thickness_Water | This is the tenth of the 3-D displays. | |
| · 07k_Thickness_Water | This is the eleventh of the 3-D displays. | |
| · 07l_Thickness_Water | This is the twelveth of the 3-D displays. | |
| · 07m_Thickness_Water | This is the thirteenth of the 3-D displays. | |
| · 07n_Thickness_Water | This is the fourteenth of the 3-D displays. | |
| · 08_SN_Cross-Section.jpg | This is a North-to-South Cross-Section, where all of the wells in Cedar Valley are projected onto the Cross-Section. | |
| · 08a_SN_Cross-Section_West | This is the west quarter of the wells in Cedar Valley projected onto a North-to-South Cross-Section. | |
| · 08b_SN_Cross-Section_WestCentral | This is the west-central quarter of the wells in Cedar Valley projected onto a North-to-South Cross-Section. | |
| · 08c_SN_Cross-Section_East_Central | This is the east-central quarter of the wells in Cedar Valley projected onto a North-to-South Cross-Section. | |
| · 08d_SN_Cross-Section_East | This is the east quarter of the wells in Cedar Valley projected onto a North-to-South Cross-Section. | |
| · 09_EW_Cross-Section | This is a West-to-East Cross Section, where all of the wells in Cedar Valley are projected onto the Cross-Section. | |
| · 09a_EW_Cross-Section_South | This is the south quarter of the wells in Cedar Valley projected onto a West-to-East Cross Section. | |
| · 09b_EW_Cross-Section_South_Central | This is the central-south quarter of the wells in Cedar Valley projected onto a West-to-East Cross Section. | |
| · 09c_EW_Cross-Section_North_Central | This is the central-north quarter of the wells in Cedar Valley projected onto a West-to-East Cross Section. | |
| · 09d_EW_Cross-Section_North | This is the north quarter of the wells in Cedar Valley projected onto a West-to-East Cross Section. | |
| · 10a_EW_Cross-Section_North_large | This is a window expansion of the north quarter of the wells in Cedar Valley projected onto a West-to-East Cross Section. | |
| · 10b_EW_Cross-Section_North_large_zoom | This is a zoom of the window expansion of the north quarter of the wells in Cedar Valley projected onto a West-to-East Cross Section. | |
| · 10c_EW_Cross-Section_Northeast_Color | This is the same cross-section showing how rock colors recorded on the Drilling Reports can be displayed on the well paths. The width of the well path is calculated as a composite of the lithologies. | |
| · 10d_EW_Cross-Section_Northeast_Clay | This shows the West-to-East Cross-Section where the lithology is colored by where clay was noted on the Drilling Reports. | |
| · 10e_EW_Cross-Section_Northeast_Silt | This shows the West-to-East Cross-Section where the lithology is colored by where silt was noted on the Drilling Reports. | |
| · 10f_EW_Cross-Section_Northeast_Sand | This shows the West-to-East Cross-Section where the lithology is colored by where sand was noted on the Drilling Reports. | |
| · 10g_EW_Cross-Section_Northeast_Gravel | This shows the West-to-East Cross-Section where the lithology is colored by where gravel was noted on the Drilling Reports. | |
| · 10h_EW_Cross-Section_Northeast_Cobbles | This shows the West-to-East Cross-Section where the lithology is colored by where cobbles were noted on the Drilling Reports. | |
| · 10i_EW_Cross-Section_Northeast_Boulders | This shows the West-to-East Cross-Section where the lithology is colored by where boulders were noted on the Drilling Reports. | |
| · 10j_EW_Cross-Section_Northeast_Conglomerates | This shows the West-to-East Cross-Section where the lithology is colored by where conglomerates were noted on the Drilling Reports. |
