Cyclone-damaged rice production in Burma

July 20th, 2008 by Nicholas Farrelly · 2 Comments

Thanks to prolific New Mandala commentator, Grasshopper, I have learned of some interesting geographic information system work done by the US government on cyclone-affected areas of the Irrawaddy Delta.  A contextual article is available here and a very useful, but slightly dated, map is available here.

Other maps, including one that deals with livestock impact, are online at this more detailed US Department of Agriculture site.
