Landscape Simulation
To simulate current landscape characteristics (patterns of slope magnitude and aspect derived from topographic data).
To model past landscape characteristics by combining current characteristics with other data (soils data, geologic data, vegetation data, radiation and climate models).
To present a landscape visualization to place human activity into a physical setting.

![Page 5: P.H. Crown and R. Elgr Spatial Information Systems laboratory Department of Renewable Resources](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033105/568152ba550346895dc0dcb8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Landscape Simulation
Phase I
• Scan maps to a digital form
• Geo-reference all maps to common geographical coordinates
• Merge individual maps for a complete area mosaic (correct errors in contours, hydrography, coordinates between maps)

Digital Elevation Models (DEM)
Phase II• Model the landscape surface using data
extracted from topographic maps – an extremely labour intensive activity.
• The more data used, the more accurate the DEM.
• Data include digitized contour lines, elevation points, hydrography, lake boundaries.
• Presentation as vertical and oblique views of the landscape.

Interpretation of Soils Data
• Soils develop differing sets of characteristics in response to sets of environmental circumstances of climate, vegetation, geologic material, topography.
• Forest soils vs. Grassland soils vs. others
• “Read” the current set of soil characteristics to infer past environments.

Human Activity
Cemetery sites identified, plotted, and linked to a relational database.
Habitation sites will be plotted with a link to a relational database
Spatial analyses only possible if an accurate georeference map of the study area is available:
• for accurate distance measurement between points.
• for accurate area measurements.

Landscape Simulation
Phase III – Derived data sets
• Calculate slope magnitude an aspect data for each cell in the DEM
• Calculation of radiation onto the landscape (controlled by Earth’s axis of rotation, latitude, and slope characteristics)

Landscape Simulation
Phase III – Derived data sets
• Landscape visualization as “fly by” through the landscape
• Different research programs could define their own path to follow

Some Next Steps
• Mapping present land cover from satellite data
• Mapping surficial geology for erosion potential
• Mapping habitation sites
• Contribute to the scaling of climate change data to the landscape
• Developing other queries

Example Questions and Queries
Mobility• habitation sites proximity analyses to potential travel
corridors, radiation balance, vegetation
Annual Range• ease of travel, proximity analyses as above
Diet• Change in vegetation structure, river flow directions
or rates, sedimentation from erosion (wetter or drier climate) and decline of fish stocks/increase in seal stocks
