Week 8

It was interesting to use the kernal density maps. I could use this application to compare events over time. This would allow me to see a change in activity based on our efforts.

Week 5

I always enjoy working with 3D maps. It allows you to view the data as you would see it in real time. It is extremely useful when combined with 2D layers.

This is a professional version by the NOAA (NOT MY WORK) Just wanted to show what it should have looked like. It is an important event and I feel that the correct image should be shown.

My attempt.

It's great to show that the damage wasn't only in New Orleans. This exercise may take on a greater importance with the outlook for numerous hurricanes this year.

Spring Break Lab Exercise

I tried to minimize the clutter on this map so that the parcels had the spotlight. I included roads, urban areas and some of the hydrology for reference. I decided to dissolve the parcels using Arc Toolbox to remove the crosshatch appearance for each. I felt that it looked better that way. I also chose to limit the roads to major and secondary only. Fun little project.
