Week 4: Floods Deliverables

Deliverable 2: Map showing the parcels affected by 1993 floods. Also, a graph incorporating the economic loss (Total Land value) is shown. Total land value is also indicated through parcel symbology.

Week4, Floods, Deliverable 1: Flood Hazard Map of the Maplewood subdivision

Week 3: Hurricane Damage Deliverables 2 & 3 (combined)

Deliverable 2 & 3 combined : A map of flooded land of the Mississippi Coast after Hurricane Katrina; and a bar graph showing percentage of total flooded land by land cover type .

Hurricane Katrina Damage Deliverables

A map showing elevation, hydrography and bathymetry of the Mississippi coast counties with places, types of water, barrier islands and hydrography.

Earthquake

This is a case study of earthquakes in Central Mississippi valley, near Madrid, Missouri. Mapping worldwide earthquake locations in relation to plate boundaries. Identifying high level seismic activity areas, occurrence of largest earthquakes, Tsunami affected counties. Critical infrastructure, facilities and lifelines in the hazard zone and probable effects on the population. Visualizing earthquake data in 3D using ArcScence. Mapping and analyzing building damage patterns, comparing and contrasting it with geology, liquefaction potential, and PGA and PGV values throughout the region. Spatial and temporal distribution of aftershocks.

Ruffed Grouse Habitat

The map shows Cloquet Forestry Center with areas of high potential for ruffed grouse habitat identification. The size of prime ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) habitat is estimated.

Raster Analyses

The road construction cost in an area is identified by calculating the cost surface based on raster and vector data layers. Cost surface is calculated depending upon the slope and distance to the existing roads. Spatial Analyst extension (Raster analyses) is used in the process.

Cartographic Modeling

This map uses overlay union on the the road and water layers (buffer layers created in the previous map)for identifying potential campgrounds sites for the Desota National Park.



Here buffering operation of cartographic modeling is applied. Fixed distance buffer is used for the roads and variable distance buffer is used for water. Buffering operations are created for Desota National Park in Southwest Perry County. It is using Arctoolbox, analysis tool, proximity.
