This graphic measures human influence on the land. I'm not sure if this is a model, but it conveys both the level of human interference on the environment and the percentage of intercontinental US in each category. Because our problem set relates to development, this graphic of human settlement in the US is very pertinent as we continue to expand and develop new land.
