On Overgrown Paths

Figure 1 below illustrates the predicted route of the track as identified during the least cost paths analysis. The four parts of the route are shown: Punakiki to the ventilation shaft; shaft to the mine portal (lookout point); portal to the amenities area; and the ventilation shaft to Blackball. The results clearly illustrate it is possible to use cost paths modelling to identify a track. However, further assessment will be necessary around the aesthetic value of the track, to assess whether it is in the ‘best location’. The track seems to be in relatively straight liens for the most part with no switchbacks, and few loops. Figure 5: from ArcGlobe illustrates the terrain and landscape surrounding the track, which appears to be fairly affable, in terms of changing elevation, slope and shift between ridges and valleys. The figure is south facing toward Blackball. DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSIONS It is clear that cost paths analysis is a feasible tool for determining the location of a tramping track through multiple significant sites. It has provided a route DoC could follow for the Pike29 Memorial Track. However, the ability of this tool using the current model to provide the ‘best’ track is questionable and there are some significant limitations. This is indicated firstly by…

This pipeline is used to copy input data to an output file. The first part defines the schedule of when to run the pipeline activity. One can enter a start and end date/time and how often to run it. The second part defines what type of data node that the input is and what the file path is to locate the input data file. Data node objects can be of type DynamoDBDataNode, MySqlDataNode, RedshiftDataNode, S3DataNode, or SqlDataNode The third part defines what type of data node that the output is…

actually one of the best things that can happen to us; we just need to learn how to embrace it. We grow up being told there’s a path to life, not multiple paths, just one. Sure, the road will fork and divide but, it’s always attached to that same path of origin. It…
