Christopher,
I am wondering if you can assist me to compile a statistic for %
“natural border” for all countries in the Middle East. Natural borders
for instance would be coastlines, mountain ranges, large rivers, etc. Of
course sometimes borders are built along these natural boundaries, and
sometimes they are arbitrary of natural boundaries. I am wondering if
you have a set of maps that clearly show natural boundaries against
national borders, or better yet, already have access to a data set that
has already compiled the percent national border that follows a natural
boundary. If you have such a data set, any or all regions would be
beneficial to my research. If you do not know of any particular data
set, perhaps you have some time to meet with me and let me know which
map sets would be most helpful in compiling such a statistic.
Please let me know if you have any availability in the next couple of
days to perhaps discuss.
Thanks so much for your time and your work.
Regards,
Ashley Pryor
