Geob 270- Introduction to Geographic Information Science

Lab 1

Gained fundamental knowledge of GIS components (such as vector, raster and queries etc.) and ArcMap software to improve my understanding towards Geo-spatial analysis to be used in future lab assignments and research.

Lab 2

Learned how to manage and change projections while repairing improperly referenced spatial data using ArcToolbox application within ArcMap to manipulate different coordinate system in order to get a more accurate analysis on geospatial data.

Lab 3

Practiced working with spatial and tabular datasets, both raster and vector and identify areas of Vancouver that was affected by a potential tsunami. As a result, I created a map that display healthcare, education facilities, roads and landuse area in the city of Vancouver that are at a potential risk of tsunami if one was to occur.
