      Definition of a lens

      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

Digital Elevation Model - 3-D View

Module by: John Janovec

Summary: A 3d digital elevation model of the los amigos conservation area.

Figure 1: This scene provides a view of the terrace where the station sits (red diamond). DEM-generation from Aster images is not perfect, and due to error caused by reflectance patterns, some portions of the river appear to be waterfalls. There are no waterfalls along this portion of the Madre de Dios. Note the high banks between Madre de Dios (1) and the Los Amigos River (2). The Aguaje palm swamp (yellow star) sits between the high terrace and the floodplain. Just below the Aguaje palm swamp in this scene you can see light blue areas, which are past and present sites of gold-mining activities.
