Now at home I open a window, any window, on monitor 2. Then I come to work and plug in monitor 3. Anything I had open on monitor 2 is now stuck in unretrievable land. (Actually, it's probably anything that was minimised when I left home that belonged on monitor 2 will expand back onto monitor 2, even though it's disconnected)
The above is actually normally used for moving a window on the current monitor to either side of the current display but works well when a program is lost on a detached monitors desktop. This trick will bring the active screen to its current desktops left or right side half but, since there is no desktop, it moves it to the current active desktop.
Go to screen resolution and where it says "change the appearance of your displays", grab your secondary monitor and move it on the other side and hit ok. When you maximize the program it will show up on your secondary monitor now.
GEOG 456/656 Advanced Geographic Information Systems [Lect 3.0] Application and analysis of advanced techniques and principles of Geographic Information Systems, integrally related mapping and remote sensing technologies to fully address spatial and time related problems related to urban site characterizations, hydrologic analyses, risk assessment, policy making, disaster response and strategic defense techniques etc
Attendance is expected at all lectures and laboratory sessions. Proper learning of the course material can only be achieved through regular course attendance and an abundance of time spent completing all of the assigned lab assignments and practicing the skills introduced in this course. You may be dropped from a course by the instructor because of excessive absences or unsatisfactory work.
Exercises and/or in class assignments/discussions, corresponding to any assigned readings or PodCasts, may be assigned at the beginning of all (non-exam) lecture periods. These exercises are to be completed a week from the day they were assigned, except for extra credit assignments which are due as deemed fit. Participation in group discussions is mandatory for discussions grade. The instructor may collect one or all of these assigned works for grading. Late homework or laboratory assignments will NOT be accepted, except under extraordinary circumstances.
Short quizzes may also be given at the instructor's discretion at certain times during the semester. As a means of encouraging interactive learning in the course, the instructor may base part of your grade on your willingness to participate in class discussions and assignments.
Two in-class exams will be given throughout the semester, and a comprehensive exam and/or project (or a series of mini-projects). All exams will be cumulative and will primarily consist of GIS theory and practice basics. Make-up exams will generally NOT be given. However, exceptions will be made in the case of genuine emergencies (the instructor will define "genuine" and "emergency" at his discretion). Vacations or lack of preparation are not valid reasons.
Your grade for this course will be determined on the following basis, and the standard university grading policy will be followed. However, the instructor reserves the right to curve grades as he deems necessary. Graduate students? will undertake a comprehensive semester project1 based on assigned topics or topics of interest to the student agreed on consultation with the instructor for graduate credit. Undergraduate Student Graduate Student Homework / Reading Assignments / Discussions 25% 15% Lab Assignments 50% 40% In-class exams (2 @ 12.5 % each) 25% 25% Final Exam / Project 20% Total 100% 100%
Teamwork is encouraged for studying course topics, but giving aid to another student during an exam or quiz or taking information from another student's exam or quiz papers constitutes academic dishonesty. Handing in similar lab assignments in entirety is also academically unacceptable and will not be tolerated by the instructor. Academic dishonesty will be handled according to code of academic responsibility and conduct
Overview of GIS modeling GIS software capabilities are useful in themselves, but they become much more important when they are combined into various kinds of analytical models. These include resource allocation models, population forecasting and spatial distribution models, and land use forecasting models, transportation models, gravity models, and site selection models. Combining economic and environmental models provides an enhanced overview of perhaps the majority of the components of many environmental situations.
Overview of Spatial Analysis Extending GIS to the third dimension has relied heavily on development in hardware speeds, rendering and computer graphics software. It is now possible to display 3-D environments almost as quickly as the 2-D flat map, and this is providing new insights from visualization that translate more abstract information into a form that many non-expert user can immediately understand.
Overview of GIS usage in Public Safety In a world increasingly beset by natural and man-made disasters, it's hard to imagine a more striking or beneficial use of GIS than in matters of public safety. When you stop to consider the number and kinds of disasters that happen at any given moment around the world, the elements and conditions that cause them, the factors and the forces that mix and collide as they occur and the often indescribably chaos and misery that ensues the idea of a comprehensive and effective system of response starts to look impossible. But that's precisely what GIS is.
Overview of DEM usage in Water Resources Modeling Topography plays an important role in the distribution and flux of water and energy parameters within natural landscapes. The automated extraction of topographic parameters from DEMs is recognized as a viable alternative to traditional surveys and manual evaluation of topographic maps, particularly as the quality and coverage of DEM data increase.

Space-based imagery now provides the GIS professional with the ability to monitor isolated regions and minority groups at risk of environmental exploitation and human rights abuse. Increased economic globalization and climate change pressure will likely increase the frequency and intensity of regional ethnic and resource motivated conflict. Although the use of high resolution satellite imagery for monitoring human rights abuse was proposed even before the conflict in the former Yugoslavian state of Bosnia, only in the last decade has satellite imagery of sufficiently high resolution become available for mainstream human rights applications. Operators such as GeoEye have provided metric earth observation and analysis with satellites such as IKONOS 2, which travels in a roughly 423km altitude polar orbit around the earth.
I was invited by Survival International, a human rights organization focused primarily on indigenous groups around the globe, to look closely at the Grasberg mine complex in Irian Jaya (West Papua). This request followed previous studies I had been involved with in southern Sudan and Zimbabwe (1-2). We applied to the GeoEye Foundation for satellite imagery data covering this region.
The intention of this particular human rights study was to monitor mining corporation activities in these poorly documented regions. Very few maps and data are available for these areas due to their inherent inaccessibility. It should be noted that severe passive opposition (such as placarded marches, public awareness, use of national and international media, etc.) and active opposition (including deliberately damaging equipment, damaging fuel lines, etc.) near the Grasberg mine has resulted in concerted media interest world-wide. Access to this region is significantly restricted. The recent deaths of two U.S. journalists and the West Papuan leader, Kelly Kwalik, close to the mine in late December 2009 only served to heighten existing tensions in the Irian Jaya region. Kwalik had advocated passive resistance to the occupation of tribal homelands by Indonesian military forces.
A key challenge for confirming human rights abuse allegations is a rapid response to the claims and reports, which often lack precise locations on the ground. Effective and timely response by the international media and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is hindered by not knowing the size of affected areas, or distribution of numbers of people affected. Furthermore, there is often unwillingness by the local governments to permit access to foreign press members who might verify poor living conditions or provide humanitarian relief to potential "enemies of the state." These fears create a xenophobic response to outside influences. This is evidenced by the rapid response of the international community in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis in 2008, which was sadly short-circuited to a great extent by the reticence of the Burmese authorities to receive aid.
There has been considerable concern about the indigenous Amungme and Komoro tribes, with the expansive growth in the Grasberg mine. This mine is operated by Rio Tinto (a U.S. registered company) as a 40% joint venture partnership with Freeport McMoran Copper and Gold (FCX) run in partnership with the Indonesian Government. PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) is a subsidiary of the U.S. company, Freeport McMoran Copper and Gold Inc. Freeport McMoran Copper and Gold Inc. is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and PTFI is listed on the Jakarta Stock Exchange. This mine is the largest gold mine in the world and the third largest copper mine - a significant factor in the Indonesian economic sector.
A relatively recent (2006) and comprehensive report (3) by WAHLI - the Indonesian Forum for Environment, the environmental watchdog of Indonesia - stated significant concerns over Rio Tinto's continued failure to address human rights and workers' rights, as well as shortcomings in environmental protection. The report listed the following: legal breaches, copper wastage and pollution, engineering inadequacies, vegetation smothering, tailings toxicity, estuary habitat destruction, contamination of estuary food chain and ecological disruption.
WALHI's recommendations were very forthright. It recommended that the government immediately enforce national environmental law by halting Freeport-Rio Tinto operations until breaches were remedied, undertake its own thorough and regular sampling, re-examine tax and royalty arrangements, and establish an independent panel to define various issues including processing and waste management. Local communities protesting against environmental and cultural damage by the mine's expansion and operations have been subject to a range of measures including harassment, torture and even murder. It is on such grounds that the Norwegian Pension Fund finally disinvested from Rio Tinto in 2008. For the Amungme and Komoro tribes, the reduction of the once magnificent Mt. Grasberg, one of the largest peaks of the Sudirman range of West Papua, to an intensely excavated plateau has been quite devastating. Tribes were forcefully relocated, leaving thousands of indigenous people removed from their traditional farming and food gathering territories. Moving Amungme to the more tropical lowlands brought people without natural malarial immunity into contact with malaria carrying mosquitoes, which has led to an increase in mortality rates.
The vast Grasberg copper and gold mine (figure 1), at over 2.6M hectares, was first prospected thoroughly by Dutch geologists in the 1930s. It comprises several delicate ecosystems - alpine meadow, wetland and mangrove forest - which make this environmental site world-renowned for its range and diversity of flora and fauna. The mine is seen at the left with glaciers at the right. The accelerated rate of mine and infrastructure development and consequential environmental destruction are set against a backdrop of rising tension. The strong indigenous desire for West Papuan independence, which began during the Indonesian occupation in the1960s, places Grasberg's Freeport mine as a strong contender for the worst case of environmental and human rights abuse of any mining project currently underway in the world.
