    1718Basically the problem introduced in this tutorial is to compute the mean elevation for buffers surrounding a series of point representing caribou observations. You can do this kind of analysis pretty easily in any GIS package but what is special here and not easy to do in ANY GIS package is the size of the datasets involved (900 MB of raster data), the simplicity of the queries and the speed at which we will get the results.
