week 2

I know I know I am far behind on my postings. I started a new job and I just now have the time to catch up. I liked this week two assignment. The only issue i had was on step 6 for some reason my number are not the same as the results given in the example.

Week 9

Q1: Which tool did you use? Was there any noticeable difference between its results and the results from
the instructions?

Intersect, there seems to be more water (little circles) or more polygons.

Q2: Which tool did you use here? Why?

Erase, because it erased all the camp sites in the conservation areas.

Q3: How many features are in this layer? What is the area of the largest feature? What is the area of the
smallest feature?

6 total, are of the smallest feature was 10552368 sq meters.

I liked this lab it put in perspective how GIS data can be used in a real world application. Although I did have trouble with my arcmap program at home not have all of the overlays, I ended having do redo the whole lab on the remote server.

week 7

I've included all the atheltic fields and the 3 buildings and the one road as requested.

week 6

I liked this map a lot better than last weeks. For starters my RMS for uwf_n was 9.8085, I put a lot of points in it and seemed to get a lower RMS every time. For uwf_s1 I used 2nd order polynomial, I wanted to use 3rd but it made my map a little wobbly looking, my RMS was 8.10964 I chose about 15 points for it. I kept my transparency for the maps at 25% since it gave the road and buildings a heftier look.

week 5

I have to say this weeks stumped me. First of all I had issues with my Adobe program, not allowing me to view the lab. Second, all the maps I could find on Columbia County fl were not showing up in my raster data in arc map. I think this might of been due to the conversion issue. Third, all my hydrography and DEMs were just a small portion of the county and not covering the whole boundary. I did not know if I was supposed to download 10 other DEMs to cover the whole thing or just load one (which is what I did). I attempted to present the data that I thought made the Map most readable, unfortunately due to the availability of the maps I did not include cities, public land or invasive plants. Hopefully for me next week won't be this challenging.

On this map I have the roads listed in black, the evalation is for the city of Columbia. The two hydrography polygon are at 50% transpancy and cover the Big Gum swamp wetland , and the Benton wetlands. The city in the middle of the map is Lake city with a population of about 10,000 this city which is well known for its I-10, I-75 intersection.

Mass Eeodus Haiti

I found this yahoo, I liked it due to the all the locations that the people of Haiti are going to be traveling to after the earthquake. The displaced people in areas other than Port Au Prince are a major concern. Suddenly areas will see a dramatic influx of people who need aid and housing and they probably do not have the facilities to accommodate them.
