This is the splash page for a map of ce350 metrics, provided by ce350 student groups and served out as choropleth maps by Purdue Libraries' GIS Lab.
Some Refinements(Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:13:35 EST)
We've received a couple of reports where things seem to have gone awry. One of these cases seems to have resolved itself, the other appears to be traceable to the way the Internet Explorer browser behaves. Until we can sort out exactly what's causing strangeness, using any browser other than IE will probably fix strange behavior. Sorry to make you do that, but IE is kind of a jerk.
Alaska and Hawaii are there, just off screen to the NW and SW, respectively. You can drag the map to see them or use the links in the upper right window to zoom to those lovely, oft-forgotten states.
Also, I added a link (left) to the process summary that describes how the Superfund metric went down.

Map is up w/ Some Caveats(Sun, 25 Nov 2007 19:09:07 EST)
The map is up at gis.lib.purdue.edu/ce350/map.php, but there is sort of a lot to explain about it, including how to use it and why some states might look the way they do. For this reason we put up a whole separate page that will help you quickly familiarize yourself to how the map is used, what you're actually seeing when you choose any one option, how to bail out if something looks crazy, etc.
Suffice it to say here that in many cases the units used (per day versus per year) and other details had to be adjusted in order fo the states to be mapped with consistency. If your state looks odd to you or you have any questions, please feel free to contact us (see link at top of page).
