From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

My image gallery has photos, maps, and graphs that I've made for various articles. I've done lots of shaded relief and perspective shaded relief maps from PD sources for my own use and will be adding more to Wikipedia. I mostly use a great freeware program called 3DEM[1]. Please tell me if you know of a free tool to convert Arcinfo E00 DEM data to USGS SDTS or other open DEM format that is understood by 3DEM.

Here are the articles that I have started. Pictures greatly enhance most articles, so most of these have pictures(*), many of them pictures that I created(**). My gallery contains all the images that I've created for many other articles.

To Do

Feel free to jump in here ...

• Spook lights[2][3][4] Boo!
• Meramec River needs something about the erstwhile dam project and its demise. That was the first Corps of Engineers project that was stopped once work had begun -- a significant victory of the environmental movement in the seventies.

Done, inline, but it's an interesting enough topic that an entire article could easily be written about it.

• Expand upon Missoula Floods, including some mention of the interesting story of the geologists who first interpreted the evidence and the difficulty the geologic community had in accepting the current interpretation. Channeled Scablands needs an article, too.

Well, since I wrote that someone added a good paragraph about J. Harlan Bretz and Jospeph Pardee (the geologists) to the Missoula floods article. It could be expanded upon either there, or in separate articles about them – I think they deserve biographical articles. The latter might be best. And there's a very good article about Channeled scablands – note the difference in capitalization.

• Can you believe there's not an article on the Mississippi embayment?!?

That link has gone blue – a decent article has been added by someone else. See, if you just wait long enough, the articles appear! There's more about this topic that could be written, but I already returned that book to the library.

• Or Floyd Collins?!?[5]

In progress here.

• Tipi needs to have that reference to rich hippies modified.
• Map for Bight of Bonny?
• St. Louis, Missouri could use a sentence or two explaining the frozen border since the 1890s and how it skews statistical analysis.

• Vajont Dam can be expanded.[6]
• Where is Sylt?

Right there.
