ESI Maps

This is an ESI map showing coastal lands that are vulnerable to the Deep Water Horizon oil spill. The most vulnerable type of coastal land is fine to medium grain sand beaches. Approximately 86,000 ft of shoreline will be affected when the oil reaches the area.

This is a map of the potential affected animal habitats resulting from the Deep Water Horizon oil spill. Invertebrates are the most affected with over 50 square miles of affected area. The map also shows booming operations in the area. Currently there are no verified in place operations.

Hurricanes

This is an elevation map of Key West, Florida. The highest elevation is 3.75 meters.

This map shows the percentage of flooding by land type. Most of Key west was flooded by the 8ft storm surge and developed land was the most heavily impacted land type.

This is map of infrastructure and health care facilities. The main road into Key west is Highway 1 and should be top priority for clearance in order to allow delivery of resources. The 2 hospitals and 1 airport were flooded buy the surge and should be next on the priority list.

Presentation

Summary

Week 11 Lab

This was a very long lab for me because i did the second module of the labeling an annotation lab as well. I did learn a lot about annotation though. The only other difficulty I had with this lab was outputting the model builder diagram. It exported to pdf, but when I tried to save as a jpg the size jumped to over 2MB which is making it difficult to upload to this blog. I eventually was able to resize it.

Week 10 Lab

This is a map of the major land owners in Gulf County Florida. This map was very straight forward and simple to create. It gave some very good tips on querying and analyzing data. I can see using some of the skills I learned in this lab in future projects for my job.

Vector Analysis II

This is a map showing possible campground locations within a state forest. The intersect tool proved to be the easiest way to combine to different buffer layers by using only one step.

Questions

1. Which tool did you use? Was there any noticeable difference between its results and the results from the instructions? The intersect tool. There was not noticeable differences between the 2 results.


2. Which tool did you use here? Why? I used the erase tool because it allowed me to use the conservation layer to "erase" areas where it intersected with the possible sites layer.

3. How many features are in this layer? What is the area of the largest feature? What is the area of the smallest feature? There are 79 features in this layer. The largest feature is 1918.8 acres and the smallest feature is 0.2 acres.

Data Editing

This is a map of the UWF campus that shows roads, athletic fields, and buildings. This was a very simple lab that showed how to digitize features. I had to be aware of how close I was zoomed in to properly digitize the buildings and athletic fields in order to only draw the building and not the shadows. I used the snapping feature for the roads to make sure there were no gaps in my data.
