By working through the five GIS labs individually and the final project in a team, I was able to explore the spatialization of quantitative data by bringing together theoretical concepts and technological skills in order to see the divided spaces of variation and overlapping phenomena. But more than this abstract appreciation for space through ArcMap, I was able to see the tangible implications and uses of geography. Specifically, exploring the environmentally sensitive areas with the Garibaldi at Squamish project area highlighted the importance of understanding space to reduce harm and maximize benefit, slowly moving my understanding of what it means to be a “Geographer” from classroom to practice.
