About the Course:
This course involved conducting and communicating a research project in geology by formulating a research question and a plan to answer that question. This course also implemented synthesizing and interpreting geological and GIS literature as well as presenting a written and oral presentation of findings and critiquing these findings.
In this assignment, ArcGIS Pro was used in accordance with collected and published Martian data in order to map Herschel Crater.
Bearings were taken on aeolian features in a 200 km x 200 km polygon around the crater's dimensions. Primary, secondary, and tertiary features were cataloged along with their associated bearings and a distribution of bearing chart was created. Arrows indicate wind direction based on bearing.
Outcomes of this assignment included creating a geologic reconstruction of wind direction in this locality as well as how to compute visual data of these findings and presenting this data in an organized and well researched manner.
In this assignment, ArcGIS Pro was used again in accordance with new data that had not been previously published before.
Bearings were taken on aeolian features in a 400 km x 400 km polygon. Primary, secondary, and tertiary features were cataloged along with their associated bearings and a counts by primary feature chart was created. Colored arrows indicate wind direction based on bearing as well as their associated feature.
