Static Maps

This bivariate choropleth map demonstrates a hybrid approach between WebGIS and traditional static cartography. By including a QR code as a map element, we can link to an interactive dashboard showing the same information. This approach addresses many issues with traditional cartography, including distributing updated maps, hosting metadata, and increasing the overall functionality. Note, the legend of this map does not indicate any specific values as these are on the interactive dashboard.

This map was created as a poster entry in for the 2021 GIS Certification Institute Map Contest (Poster Link). The purpose is to demonstrate a method for visualizing and comparing variables over time.

This map was created in QGIS to show the status of COVID-19 on 31 March 2020.

This topographic map shows the resurgent domes Cerros de Trasquilar & Cerro Santa Rosa in the Valles Caldera, NM. This area was 3D printed and used in my masters thesis, and used in the field when I went to the location for photos.

This map was created to support a paper in the UConn Business College. It demonstrates the Decibels recorded surrounding an airport in Colorado and home sales in relation to its closing. This map is shown using color, and would be useful for presentations. Journal requirements did not allow for color.

This map was created to support a paper in the UConn Business College. It demonstrates the Decibels recorded surrounding an airport in Colorado and home sales in relation to its closing. I created this to showcase the data without color to conform with the Journal requirements.

This Chorochromatic map shows the geologic age of different surface rocks in New Mexico.

This is one of my first real maps. It shows four variables, three as choropleths and one as a cartogram. This map demonstrates a way to visualize the spatial patterns of multiple variables. Such an approach is useful for data exploration before conducting a geographically weighted regression.

I created this as a final project and contest submission for my first GIS and Cartography class, and it won 3rd place. While there are many things I would improve, such as the values in the scale bar, it is a great demonstration of the techniques.

This map was created as part of a series in a remote sensing class. It highlights changes in vegetation between 1990 and 2010. In the North East corner, an area of decreased vegetation is highlighted indicating a location that underwent a forest fire.
