Dear Sirs:
I am not yet a user of R. My background includes the use of (Turbo) Pascal for scientific analysis of underwater acoustics problems (e.g. sound ray tracing and array gain in directional noise fields.)
I have become interested in the following type of problem:
(1) select , say, 1000 random locations within the continental United States;
(2) characterize (statistically) the probabilities of:
   (a) distance to the nearest paved road;
   (b) elevation above sea level;
   (c) (?) ownership (public or private); etc.
Would R be useful , perhaps in combination with Google Earth, to carry out this kind of study?
Thank you for your consideration.
