Conclusions: This project allowed me to explore the possibilities of using Python to work with geographic data. In the past I have worked with ArcGIS and ENVI and have hit some walls, this process completely opened up so many avenues and broke down some limitations I was facing with the other software. I set this project up so I would be able to overcome some of the walls I was hitting with tiling images, and understanding the ETOPO1 formats. The project shifted in a direction that was more appropriate for my research. Going back to the question: By identifying patterns at the bedrock layer is it possible to identify urban coastal areas through their bedrock profile? I think this analysis started to identify a phenomenological result rather than an empirical one. This comes down to perception and how we see the world around us. Seeing the bedrock of our planet this way has some powerful reach.
