Research
This week was dedicated primarily to starting (and finishing!) a section of my PhD that deals with erosion in Riviere des Remparts on the south east coast. Lots of back-&-forthing between conflicting projections & vertical coordinate systems, but finally some interesting results. Also tackled a enormous box filled with (what I thought would be) an eternity of manual data entry from company reports - turns out only two or three reports deal with Riviere des Remparts. Suspect somebody stole a key report, but no way to prove it... meh.
Identified one (of probably a few) case study areas for gully erosion in the Eastern Cape. Started consolidating the historical aerial photography for that area. Mosaicked the 2001 images to serve as reference set and constructed a 20m DEM from 1:50 000 contours.

Did a test-flight of the new version of the Poivilliers software and it works like a charm. Communication with the developer also ironed out some zooming issues. Next week will see a brand spanking new DEM of Matatiele as it looked in 1955...
