Automated Processing of Magnetospheric Poynting Flux As Measured by the Fast Auroral SnapshoT Explorer

This project aims to create automated analytical and visual tools that will aid researchers in studying phenomena occurring in Earth's thermosphere. The study of these phenomena, known collectively as space weather, is of growing importance due to the adverse impacts they have non manned space flight and communication systems. Using data recorded by the Fast Auroral SnapshoT satellite, binned statistical models of the average downward Poynting flux were created, assisting in the further study of space weather's effects on Earth

Post-Tsunami Ecotourism Development: Solutions for Laem Khruat Village

This report assesses the tourism industry in Laem Khruat, a rural village in the Krabi Province of Thailand that was affected by the 2004 tsunami. We investigated methods of incorporating the principles of ecotourism into the village's tourism practices. We concentrated on three issues affecting the village: waste disposal, tourism marketing, and water based tourism transportation. We concluded that an expanded garbage bank program, new brochures and a website are necessary for further ecotourism development. We also concluded that a kayak with a Mirage drive pedal system is effective for ecotourism
