Here’s what I accomplished in my final lab assignments:
Lab 4: Evaluated the ethical implications involved in the display of data by creating maps of housing affordability using various classification methods (natural breaks, standard deviation, equal interval and manual breaks).
Lab 5: Performed an environmental assessment of the Garibaldi at Squamish project to practice data acquisition, representation, interpretation and communication of results.
Accomplishments so far?
Lab 1: Completed an introductory ArcGIS course offered by ESRI and reviewed examples of GIS applications to gain foundational knowledge for future GIS projects.
Lab 2: Gained practical working knowledge of coordinate systems and projections and how to fix misaligned or improperly referenced spatial data for geographic analysis.
Lab 3: Used spatial and tabular data sets to perform geographic analysis of Vancouver’s tsunami risk, generated a corresponding map and useful statistics.
