In this lab, I improved my abilities in ArcGIS through the utilization of tools such as the Clip, Union, Buffer, and through the use of visual tools such as applying a hill-shade, making the map look three-dimensional. This map helped me move forward into my final project for this GIS course, in which my group and I analyzed the extent of hydraulic fracturing in relation to Indigenous lands and freshwater sources in northeastern British Columbia.
