GIS Indeni - Den korte vej til den menneskelige applikationSik Cambon Jensen
At komme fra A til B er ingen sag nu om dage, når blot man selv sørger for den fysiske transport af krop og legeme. Services af den ene eller anden art står i kø for at levere dig den korteste, den hurtigste og/eller den kønneste rute imellem start og slut på din færden igennem den virkelige
verden. Er dette ikke nok, så er de fleste i dag udstyret med en autopilot, i form af en GPS, som hele tiden sørger for at holde dig på rette vej.
At komme fra A til B via gangbare kanaler, og hvor den lige linje ikke nødvendigvis er en option, er et spørgsmål om (rute)planlægning og procesunderstøttende ruteanvisning på gadeniveau. En GPS, som der her typisk er tale om, er det procesunderstøttende vidunder som hele tiden ved hvor du er og guider dig punktvist ad en optimeret rute frem mod målet.
Men hvad nu hvis A og B ikke er geografiske steder i et kort, men i stedet to forskellige punkter i et sagsbehandlerforløb - ultimativt start og slut på forløbet. Planlægningen består her i en række vejledninger i hvorledes man plejer at gøre. Dette enten, fordi det er lovmæssigt bestemt (man
må jo heller ikke køre udenfor vejene), eller fordi det beror på en årelang tradition indenfor en given forvaltning. Ligesom der er hurtige, korte og kønne veje at følge i eksemplet ovenfor, er der også i sagsbehandlingen varianter som tangerer disse.

Narrated Business Proposal for the Philadelphia Eaglescamrynascott12
Slide 1:
Welcome, and thank you for joining me today. We will explore a strategic proposal to enhance parking and traffic management at Lincoln Financial Field, aiming to improve the overall fan experience and operational efficiency. This comprehensive plan addresses existing challenges and leverages innovative solutions to create a smoother and more enjoyable experience for our fans.
Slide 2:
Picture this: It’s a crisp fall afternoon, driving towards Lincoln Financial Field. The atmosphere is electric—tailgaters grilling, fans in Eagles jerseys creating a sea of green and white. The air buzzes with camaraderie and anticipation. You park, join the throng, and make your way to your seat. The stadium roars as the Eagles take the field, sending chills down your spine. Each play is a thrilling dance of strategy and skill. This is what being an Eagles fan is all about—the joy, the pride, and the shared experience.
Slide 3:
But now, the day is marred by frustration. The excitement wanes as you struggle to find a parking spot. The congestion is overwhelming, and tempers flare. The delays mean you miss the pre-game excitement, the tailgate camaraderie, and even the opening kick-off. After the game, the joy of victory or the shared solace of defeat is overshadowed by the stress of navigating out of the parking lot. The gridlock, honking horns, and endless waiting drain the energy and joy from what should have been an unforgettable experience.
Our proposal aims to eliminate these frustrations, ensuring that from arrival to departure, your experience is extraordinary. Efficient parking and smooth traffic flow are key to maintaining the high spirits and excitement that make game days special.
Slide 4:
The Philadelphia Eagles are not just a premier NFL team; they are an integral part of the community, hosting games, concerts, and various events at Lincoln Financial Field. Our state-of-the-art stadium is designed to provide a world-class experience for every attendee. Whether it's the thrill of game day, the excitement of a live concert, or the camaraderie of community events, we pride ourselves on delivering a fan-first experience and maintaining operational excellence across all our activities. Our commitment to our fans and community is unwavering, and we continuously strive to enhance every aspect of their experience, ensuring they leave with unforgettable memories.
Slide 5:
Recent trends show an increasing demand for efficient event logistics. Our customer feedback has consistently highlighted frustrations with parking and traffic. Surveys indicate that a significant number of fans are dissatisfied with the current parking situation. Comparisons with other venues like Citizens Bank Park and Wells Fargo Center reveal that we lag in terms of parking efficiency and convenience. These insights underscore the urgent need for innovation to meet and exceed fan expectations.

2. Content Background & Method Brief Geological History River Canyon Geology Gold Deposits Rock Examples Geological Features Plant Examples 2
3. Background and Research Methodology In late June I visited an area in the canyon of the Middle Fork of the American River The photos and rock samples included in this report are from this field trip 3D map images were prepared using Google Earth Identification of rocks done using: Geology of the Sierra Nevada, by Mary Hill (2006) Identification of plants done using: Trees and shrubs of California, by Stuart & Sawyer (2001) 3
4. Site Location Near Auburn, California Entry through Driver’s Flat Road, on dirt road down to bottom of river canyon Coordinates 38.962362,-120.929775 4
5. Deep Down in the River Canyon Google Earth View up the very deep canyon of Middle Fork of American River Valley has been carved by the flow of the river for last several million years 5
6. Quick Geological History and Overview Sierra Nevada is a tilted fault block 400 miles long, with rugged east face, and sloping west face West side has metamorphic rock formed by plate tectonics in Early Paleozoic to Late Jurassic (400-120 million years ago) – with portions of ancient seafloor Volcanic eruptions filled ancient valleys with lava and mudflows Present river system formed by erosion during last 5 million years (Lindstrom, 2000; “North,” 2006; “North,” 2007) 6
7. Geology of Middle Fork River Canyon Undulating steep mountains, elevation 1,600 – 5,600 feet Foresthill Divide is a NE trending ridge system, separating North and Middle Forks of American River River has cut steep canyons 1000 ft below top of Foresthill Divide Significant surface erosion, especially on steep hill sides Mean annual precipitation between 30-40 inches Extremely low seismic activity (“North,” 2006; “North,” 2007) 7
8. Gold Deposits Around Foresthill Area Streams flowing down western slopes carried Auriferous gravels Auriferous gravel <0.5 percent of soil types in the area Flows of lava later covered and protected many of these deposits Gold veins usually are 3-4 feet thick, in NW direction Gold discovered in Foresthill in 1850 Primarily placer mines, with extensive hydraulic mining In next 15 years more than $10 million was extracted (“Description,”1897; “Gold,” 1970; “North,” 2006; “North,” 2007) 8
12. Greenstone and green schist belts are primarily formed of fine-grained volcanic rocks, dominated by basalt, with minor parts sedimentary rocksDescription: weathered red/brown color, fine-grained, can be scratched, faint layering Identification: I believe this is Greenstone, a metamorphic rock (Hill, 2006) 10
13. Sandstone Rock Outcropping Fragile grainy sand-colored sedimentary rock Appears to be sandstone or gritstone The outer layer, in part, is held together by a thin layer of vegetation Likely result of earlier deposits of sand, later put under high pressure from overlaying sediment or lava layers Tilted almost 90 degrees, by earlier rock folding process 11
14.
15. Process driven by heating/freezing cycles, as well as erosion from water, snow, and ice
16. The large boulder mayhave come down by rock fall from higher up in the river canyon as part of ongoing erosion13
17. Tilted Sedimentary Rocks Appears to be layered sedimentary rock Could be part of the earlier seabed Tilted between 60 to 90 degrees, mostly facing NE Covered by moss and other plants 14
18. Plant and Animal Life Ground around the river bed is mostly rocky and dry Mixed forest, oaks, and small shrubs; with habitat for diverse fauna No major animals seen, except one river otter (which quickly disappeared under the surface) 15
19.
20. Ericaceae is under the order Ericales, which evolved from Magnoliales, which in turn descended from angiosperms originating in the Mesozoic Era
21. It has high tolerance to poor soil, drought, extreme temperature, shade, and elevation; which enables it to thrive in many different habitatsI believe this tree is a Pacific Madrone(Arbutus menziesii) (Stuart & Sawyer, 2001) 16
22. Evolution of Pacific Madrone(Arbutus menziesii) 17 Plantae => Angiosperms => Eudicots => Asterids => Ericales => Ericaceae => Arbutus => A. menziesii Fossilized leaves of a species similar to modern day Pacific Madrone have been found in northwestern Nevada, the Blue Mountains of Oregon, and Tuolumne County, CA This species dates to the Miocene Epoch of 12 to 26 million years ago The species composition and flora is similar to oak-madrone forests in California today Current madrone-related flora is believed to have originated in southwestern North America (Axelrod, 1958;Tappeiner & McDonald, n.d.)
23. Oak Tree An evergreen oak that is found in the southwestern part of North America, especially in California Coast Ranges Often found near creeks and drainages, growing in moist cool microhabitats It is part of order Fagales, also descendant from angiosperms May live for up to 300 yrs I believe this tree is a Canyon Live Oak (Quercuschrysolepis) (Stuart & Sawyer, 2001) 18
24. Evolution of Canyon Live Oak (Quercuschrysolepis) 19 Plantae => Angiosperms => Eudicots => Rosids => Fagales => Fagaceae => Quercus => Protobalanus => Q. chrysolepis Early fossil evidence of family Fagaceae found in western Tennessee, dated to Paleocene/Eocene boundary (Crepet & Nixon,1989) Quercus forms swarms of hybrids making precise analysis of lineage difficult More than 200 different species of Quercus across every continent of the world, including 89 in the US, and 20 in California Quercus in general are wind-pollinated, however, LithocarpusandChrysolepis are insect-pollinated, thus causes major differences in their flowers Chrysolepis the most common member of Protobalanus group in California (Crepet & Nixon,1989; Nixon, 2002)
25.
26. Believed to have come from subtropical to warm temperate groups and then evolved in response to the expansion of a new adaptive zone: dry climate
27. Also from angiospermsI believe this shrub is a Mexican Manzanita (Arctostaphylospungens) Belong to order Ericales (Axelrod, 1958; Stuart & Sawyer, 2001) 20
28. Evolution of Mexican Manzanita (Arctostaphylospungens) 21 Plantae => Angiosperms => Eudicots => Asterids => Ericales => Ericaceae => Arctostaphylos=> A. pungens Shares evolutionary history with Pacific Madrone(Arbutus menziesii) as described on earlier pages Rich fossil record, and considered to be of Miocene origin, approx 15 million years ago Radiation of genus occurred 1.5 million years ago during the Pleistocene Oldest remains of Arctostaphylos from lower Pliocene Texas (Adams,1935) Southern California thought to have been a major Pleistocene center of distribution and variation, which then shifted northward (Adams, 1935) (Adams, 1935; Markos,1995)
