Streamflow Prediction

1)Selection of existing rainfall and streamflow gaging station in Florida
2)30 mile buffer around the prediction point for identifying streamflow gauging stations in the vicinity in the same or nearby watershed
3)8 streamflow gauging stations selected in the nearby areas for the daily streamflow forecasting at a given location.
4)Identification of second location for streamflow prediction
5)Buffer for the location 2
6)Best gaging stations obtained for the location 2 by the process of optimization
7)Spatial Interpolation: Prediction of the missing streamflow values using Spatial interpolation (IDW) in ArcGIS. The results were validated using test data (red star marked on the map).

Week 10: HomeLand Security: Protect

Deliverable 4: 3-D Line of Sight Polylines in ArcScene, revealing how terrian relief obstructs the range of view from that designated surveillance position. The extend of line of sight polylines over the surface is shown here.

Deliverable3: Al map showing series of observation points where surveillance camera can be deployed to oversee the operations and activites before, during and after an event. Also, a line of sight profile graph of the represenatitve observation point is shown. The profile graph provides a perspective of line of sight as if one is observing it from the ground. It provides a better look at where the view may be claer or obstructed.

Deliverable2: These are secure ingress and egress routes around Alta Bates Medical Center (a critical infrastructure). The red points (position) on the map are the optimal locations for increased security to monitor ingress and egress to the hospital sites.

Deliverable 1: EIA for siting a building in Pewter City

Deliverable 2: A social identity map depicting university student residency

Deliverable 3: A location quotient analysis of the Pewter City region

Deliverable4: Visual Assessment of a Proposed building development

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.

One to Many Joins

This is one to many joins as many records in the layer's attribute table join to the same record in the table of soil type descriptions.

Joining Two Existing Tables

The exercise uses the table operations in ArcGIS. It uses the joins and relates for joining two tabular data files. It combines the demographic table to the mapped data in the block group layer. This is one to one join.

Manipulating Digital Data, NWI and DEM data

The above map is DEM with contour lines and hillshade. This exercise involved the manipuating of USGS 10 m DEM for study area ,Harrison. It used Spatial Analysis Extension.


The map is the outcome of operations performed on the digital data obtained from the National wetland Inventory (NWI) developed by U.S Fish and Wildlife services. The map displays the wetlands and deepwaters habitats classification system. The exercise involved creating of new field in the attribute data, editing and reclass wetland system which is more easily interpreted.

DO Rates_GPS sample points

It is a graduated quantity map indicating the dissolved oxygen rates in Escambia County, Florida. The spatial data for the county and GPS sample data points is used for creating the map. GPS samples data points (file saved as .csv) are imported as table as X,Y data in ArcGIS and converted into a feature class.

Mississipi Map is projected using three different projections. In addition, the comparison of these maps are done by calculating the areas of the three maps. Editor toolbar is used in the process for calculating areas.
The different projections not only have different absolute areas but also the general shape of the state changes with each projection.
