Author: Scott Jordan 5476 Route 305 Phone: 716-968-2650 The Denali Project is an interactive K-12 math, science, GIS, GPS, technology, and remote sensing Internet module that utilizes satellite telemetry to track large mammals in Denali National Park, Alaska. ArcView GIS, ArcView 3D Analyst, Vistapro, and QTVR allow the computer visitor to not only follow the animals' movements and study their behavior, but to also reproduce a three-dimensional view of the landscape around them. Users can follow the animals' daily, weekly, or monthly movements and re-create their traveled topography. Teachers can then incorporate student-centered scientific research on relevant data to bring these new technologies to the classroom. |
