Fresh Kills Park Phase 1A Archeological Documentary Study

SUB SURFACE LOCATION ANALYSIS OF HISTORIC BUILDING REMNANTS Historians at AKRF teamed up with the Geographic Information Systems Team to identify potential Areas of Historic Sensitivity that would be affected by the construction of Fresh Kills Park. Using 2 dimensional historic maps, and converting them to 3 dimensional data, they pinpointed historic site locations and calculated disturbance from subsequent landscape changes. This was done by registering historical topographic maps with current Digital Elevation Models to estimate soil level changes affecting historic buildings buried under Fresh Kills landfill.
