Higher densities because of more abundant food supplies through plant cultivation. Most of land occupied by farmers whose techniques were rudimentary, at least half food came from hunting and/or fishing and gathering, social organization tribalthese were the Simple farmers: slash and burn (swidden) Tropical forest farmers of South America and Caribbean Root crops dominant, esp. staples of manioc, sweet potatoes, arrowroot Riverine farming (fish and game for protein) Arawaks of upper Amazon had migrated into Greater Antilles perhaps 1500 years prior to Conquest Caribs from Guianas and Venezuela had islandhopped into Lesser Antilles by about 100 years prior to Conquest Riverbanks and sea coasts had densities up to 30 pers/sq.mi.

The Flood Hazards Of Manitou Springs, CO
Details historical floods of the area, flood charts, graphs and projections of future flood dangers.
http://www.colorado.edu/geography/COGA/geogweb/manitousprings/index.html

Extractions: University of Colorado at Boulder Graphics prepared by David A. Gonzalez, Bradford J. Simpson, and Michael N. Solem This exercise was created for the GeographyWeb project at the University of Colorado. Welcome to The Flood Hazards of Manitou Springs, CO. The scenic Rocky Mountain setting and quaint shop-lined streets of Manitou Springs attract many tourists each year. However, this seemingly idyllic environment poses serious risks for residents and visitors alike. When conditions are right, Fountain Creek, a major stream that flows directly through the town, may flood without warning. This Web-based learning exercise examines the human-environment relationships of Manitou Springs, Colorado. You can learn about the settlement history and natural hazards of Manitou Springs, understand what may happen to Manitou Springs during and after a catastrophic flood event, and identify areas of the town that are at risk. Although the ideal way to learn about Manitou Springs would be to visit the town itself, this is not a feasible option for everyone. Fortunately, this Web site can take you on a "virtual" exploration of Manitou Springs and familiarize you with many of its geographic features.
SDSS For Location Planning, Or The Seat Of The Pants Is Out
A paper by Larry Daniel that reviews the general characteristics of a spatial decision support system (SDSS) applied to site analysis.
http://www.colorado.edu/geography/gcraft/notes/gisapps/sdss.html

Extractions: (Published in GeoInfo Systems December 1992) In the GeoInfo Systems May '92 issue, Donald Cooke described the general characteristics of a spatial decision support system (SDSS). This article reviews those concepts and extends the discussion by examining SDSS as it has historically applied to site analysis. As described by Donald Cooke in the May '92 issue of GeoInfo Systems, a spatial decision support system (SDSS) is 'canned software that is intuitively obvious to use, solves problems efficiently and delivers immediate results'. SDSS is off-the-shelf software for carefully selected functions, i.e. bug-free point-and-shoot capabilities on very specific spatially-oriented needs. SDSSs don't require in-depth commands to operate, yet allow users to negotiate very sophisticated geographic analysis. Many of the distinctions between GIS and SDSS are derived from the differences in their target audiences. While GIS sites often employ technical analysts to plow through the nitty-gritty of setting up databases and defining complex functions, SDSS sites generally have but one or two business analysts who want to make spatial decisions but don't want to become immersed in the intricacies of GIS. The SDSS users don't seek a smorgasbord of commands, they want a select handful of intuitive operations to yield quick and effective answers. They want to avoid technically complex operations and while they're impressed by GIS' potential, what they really want is three or four buttons and an answer.

SYLLABUS GEOG 3251 MOUNTAIN GEOGRAPHY With MW Williams
Mark W. Williams. Department of geography and. Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research.University of colorado at Boulder. SYLLABUS GEOG 3251 MOUNTAIN geography.
http://snobear.colorado.edu/Markw/geog3251_syl.html

Extractions: Teaching Assistant Mountain geography presents a geographic overview of major mountain ranges in the world, and provides an introduction to the physical, biological, and anthropological processes that shape these mountain environments. Changes in the mountain environment caused by humans will be evaluated and land use strategies to minimize these human impacts will be discussed. There are no prerequisites for Mountain Geography. Students should take this course who are interested in the geologic origin of mountains, the erosional processes that shape mountains, vegetation and animal life in mountains, and resource problems and mitigation efforts in mountainous areas. My intent with this course is to provide incentives for you to pursue more detailed classes in physical and human geography, biology, geology and anthropology. Midterm There will be three midterms, each worth 30% of your grade. The lowest of the three midterms will be dropped.
