(Above) This map uses data from the National Renewable Energy Lab in Golden, CO, and shows annual solar potential represented in kWh/x2 within the lower 48 of the United States. The darker squares indicate a higher potential for solar and are therefore ideal places to implement solar power.
(Left) Using data from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, this map uses several different data sets to show the population of counties relative to major nearby rivers, parks and forests.
(Right) Utilizing the method of digitizing, this map displays Clymer Park located in Gulfport, Fl. It features many aspects of the park that are open for public use including sidewalks, structures, and plant beds.
The map to the left displays a map of Eckerd College, located in St. Petersburg, Fl. The central focus of this map is to display the college's Palm Hammock forest, colored in green, and it's trail system, specifically focusing on how far each trail within the hammocks are located from each other. Data for this map was collected by doing field work in the trails using handheld GPS units in order to obtain accurate data. The data collected was then uploaded to Eckerd's geodatabase to be utilized.
The map to the left depicts potential areas to introduce and manage endangered species in the state of Hawaii. The data used for this map was obtained from the Department of Land and Nature Resources under the division of Forestry and Wildlife.
