Introduction

The purpose of these exercises is to provide instruction in the use of Arcview GIS applied to environmental risk assessment. The module also includes non-GIS resources and exercises for understanding of the basic processes in risk assessment. All the data files required for them are available on this CD. These exercises are taught by David R. Maidment in the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Texas at Austin. Each exercise normally takes 3-4 hours to be completed. If you don't have access to the Arcview software needed to do the exercises, you can still read through them and understand the nature of the analysis from the instructions and pictures presented there.
