Pizza Money for Grad Students

[Greg Koerper]

Mark,

Can I kill 2 birds with one stone?  I've been contributing a column to 
GRASSClippings now for about 3 issues, with an informal continuing commitment.
I may at times be able to address both summarization of a mail list topic and
delivery of an article to the magazine.  Any reason why this cannot essentially
be one and the same on some occasions?  I could also approached the Chirp!
material independent of the column, but I can foresee where some topics would
be pertinent to both readerships.

I work on research topics concerned with global change effects, and use
GRASS a great deal for modelling, simulations, etc.  I'm much more up to speed
on raster than vector, analysis than cartographic output.  We work almost
exclusively on Sun platforms, 4.1.3 (we'll move to Solaris if it ever
stabilizes).  I've rewritten GRASS code, integrated it with PV-WAVE, 
manipulated command sequences with perl, and so forth.  The column in 
publication addresses the use of USGS proj.  If you've got some
specific GRASS issues in mind, please let me know.
