		+	This tutorial explains how to import an x, y, z file into [https://www.comsol.com/ COMSOL] to use as
		+	part of your model's geometry. This is great if you have a .csv file of latitude, longitude and elevation

		+	== Video Analysis using Tracker and Surfer ==
		+
		+
		+	Tracker is an open source physics software that can do plenty of cool things like map velocity of moving
		+	objects by automatically tracking features in a video. It's free to download and use and can be found
		+	here: https://physlets.org/tracker/. It's great to use if you are building models of earth systems and
		+	want to see how these systems deform! In the tutorial here, flubber was made out of borax, Elmer's
		+	glue and water and run down a ramp to simulate a glacier flowing down a valley. Beads placed on the
		+	surface of the flubber glacier are what is tracked, symbolizing features that might be visible on a real
		+	glacier like dirt bands. After the velocity data is collected in Tracker, it is put into Surfer for visualization. Surfer isn't free, but
		+	it's a great bit of software: http://www.goldensoftware.com/products/surfer. Once in Surfer, contour
		+	maps can be made of the flubber glacier (or whatever you're tracking) and strain rates can be calculated
		+	as well! This tutorial walks you through basic operations in Tracker and Surfer.
