GIS 5027 Lab 1

Part 1 of Lab 1 required assessing the Tone and texture of various portions of a 1965 aerial image from the USGS provided by the UWF Geodata Center as part of the lab data. While the image could have easily been georeferenced, that was not part of the assignment's requirements, so no geospatial projection information, including north or scale, is included in the result.

 Part 2 of the lab required identifying objects by their association, pattern or the shape of their shadow. This image was taken in 1970 from the USGS and again provided by the UWF Geodata center. 

Part 3 of the lab compared two images of the UWF campus one true color and one false color, no map was created as part of this exercise. However, different points were compared between the two images. As I was assessing points I realized the two images are from vastly different eras, likely more than 15 years apart.

GIS 5007 - About Me!

Image
 Hi - I joined the GIS program in the fall of 2024 to formalize my GIS training after more than a decade of learning to use GIS independently. I'm an Archaeologist, with my BA and MA in Anthropology, and have worked for the UWF Archaeology Institute as a research associate since 2015. In the past few years, I have become actively involved in cemetery preservation and research. Something that you can read a little bit more about on my story map . Ultimately I am hoping to add GISP to my credentials list. Resetting a marker in AME Zion Cemetery Exploring Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta with the Association for Gravestone Studies Conference.

GIS 5100 Module 5 Damage Assessment

Image
 For this week's exercise we were tasked with conducting a structural damage assessment of a few block area impacted by Hurricane Sandy. We were asked to create a map of the path of Hurricane Sandy We were then given a very large raster data set with a very small project area to assess structural damage. Knowing something about Hurricane Sandy and the amount of damage, I immediately ruled out the possibility that there were any structures with no damage or only affected or sustained minor damage. I then narrowed in on determining which structures were destroyed and which sustained major damage. To complete the analysis of damage within a distance of the shoreline I used the created shoreline to create buffers of 0-100 m, 100-200m, and 200-300m. I used a basic join to derive counts for the following result

GIS 5100 M4

Image
 For this week's exercise, we spent a considerable amount of time evaluating out-of-date elevation data, looking at the potential impact of storm surge data. This included comparing potential inundation models using LIDAR and USGS DEM-derived data. For the first exercise we were asked to compare Lidar data from New Jersey pre and post Hurricane Sandy. We were given several areas to asses and evaluate what has changed as well as looking at how the area has redeveloped based on a more recently derived buildings shapefile. We then turned our attention to the Tampa Bay Area where we looked at different methods of modeling storm surge and evaluated the predictive ability of each model. This included comparing counts of the types of buildings each building would see as flooded or not As well as comparing which models predicted a percentage of each type of building would be flooded to compare the accuracy of the different models Finally we created a map showing the agreement between the d...
