Week 8 Washington D.C.

I enjoyed this making this map alot. Everything went smoothly unlike the last one for me.

Thanks Joe

Assignment Alachua County

This project was very long. I did have problems with the overlays though. I don't think I got the answers correct for the overlay.

Unit 5 Impact Assessment Pewter City Maps

I did have a problem with the last map (economic) though. The question to create the query was kinda of vague on the ESRI site. I ask our fellow students in the discussion areas and was finally able to pull the right query successfully.

Thanks Joe

Oil Spill Participitation Exercise Summary

GIS is an invaluable tool in the event of natural disasters. GIS can be used for a variety of disasters, both Natural and Man-made.

In relation to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, GIS is being used for a variety of purposes by British Petroleum (BP),federal, state and local government agencies.

First Responders could be using GIS to map out the location and movement of the oil slick in relation to the coast line in order to predict where the oil slick makes landfall.

Enviromental agencies could be using GIS to map out protected species and conservation areas in respect to the actual oil slick location.

Federal agencies like FEMA could be using GIS to map out different command centers along the Gulf Coast of the United States that can be used for a variety of purposes such as handing out important information to news outlets and giving local volunteer groups directions to the nearest and most important cleanup sites.

National Marine Fisheries can use GIS to map the oil slick in order to ban commercial and recreational fishing in certain areas due the oil slick.
State and local commerce agencies can use GIS analyze where the oil slick is expected to make landfall in order to better predict the negative financial impact some areas will sustain.

GIS can offer professionals who are involved in the oil spill cleanup a large variety of uses to help them better visualize and analyze the oil spill, at which point the professional/agency can make better quality decisions in regard to solutions to the oil spill.

Week 10 Spring Break Lab

This lab was pretty easy. It worked out well.

Thanks Joe

Week 9 Lab

This lab was pretty easy. I am becoming much more comfortable using ArcMap

1. Which tool did you use? I used the intersect tool. It gave me the same results.

2. Which tool did you use here? I used the erase tool to take away the park areas from layers I unioned.

3. How many features are in this layer? I got 79 features. The largest was 7765053.672 square meters and the smallest was 748.346256 square meters.

Week 7 - Data Editing in ArcGIS

This is my Week 7 map...I didn't really run into any issues with this map. The digitizing was pretty straight forward in the ESRI website describing how to digitize and modify map features.

Module 6 - Georeferencing Rasters

Module 5 - GIS Data Search

I didn't have any problems finding the map data. Though I did run into hard disk space problems when I uploaded the data files to the server. The projection used is Transverse Mercator.

Haiti Earthquake Magnitude Map

This map shows the earthquake intensity around different locations in Haiti. I found this map at the USGS website. It can help geologists determine the different locations where the highest intensity quakes occured. Relief worked could also use this map to determine where the most medical resources and food supplies should go to.

Week 4 - Projections

This map shows the area in square miles for Alachua, Escambia, Polk and Dade counties. The map uses graduated colors to distinguish the area in square miles

Map #1 - this may shows the population scale of Mexico using a color ramp.

Joe Perkowski

Map #2 - includes roads, railways, state/federal highways, rivers/streams, and population of 1000000+ urban center. I did have an issue with the scale of my layout. I couldn't get the 1:5,000,000 to display correctly. Not sure if I changed something within ArcMap to cause it.

Week #3 Intro to GIS Maps

Map #3 Elevation map for Mexico

I used brown/tan colors for this map because of the fact Mexico isn't known for its high altitude mountains and snow covered caps.
