Accomplishments:
- Developed fundamental GIS skills utilizing ArcGIS to integrate spatial data, manipulate tabular data and create maps with consideration to data integrity and ethical practices.
- Employed ArcGIS and ArcCatalog to access metadata and properties information so as to monitor and change map projections, to repair improperly aligned and improperly referenced spatial data sets, to perform calculations via attribute tables and to manipulate remote sensing imagery to produce composite images detailing land use change over time following disturbances.
- Used ArcToolbox and the Editor toolbar in ArcGIS to manage vector and raster data sets by performing buffer and selection proximity analysis, intersecting data layers, extracting data layers via the clip tool, producing summary tables of land use features of interest and creating and editing new feature classes so as to create a map of the Vancouver areas at risk in the event of a tsunami.
