      - http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/a.turner/projects/MoSeS/documentation/meetings/archive/2008-01-17/
  2. Google Earth and GeoServer
    - GeoServer set up on GEO-S12
      - Once port 9080 is opened up, the following URL should work:
        
        http://geo-s12.leeds.ac.uk:9080/geoserver
    - Paul is learning about SLD
      - Label placement
      - Choropleth shading
      - Classification
  3. Optimisation next steps
    - Looked at profiler output provided on paper by Belinda
      - There seemed to be no obvious method taking inordinate amounts of time.
      - Paul is going to make an attempt to speed up Belinda's Dynamic Model code.
