Map Projects

Zombie Habitat Map

The map above has to do with the spreading of a zombie apocalypse in New York City. The locations of the buffer zones are New York City cemeteries. The coloration in the city shows the population density differences. The center of the buffer circles are in red because they would be the most populated with zombies and the farther you go outside of the circle the less zombies will be present at the beginning of the outbreak. 

Topographic Analysis in the Adirondacks

The map above is of an area in the Adirondack Park where a public park would be put inside of the black boundary of the map. My analysis was to see what would be are good area to put the park based on elevation data and trying to avoid erosion. I had to find topographic data of this area and create DEM images. I then had to change the symbology and color schemes in order to see the areas which would make an optimal public park. 

Renssealaer County High Inflitration Soil Types

The map above is showing a section of Renssealaer County which has a soil type with high water infiltration properties. The color gradient on this map means that red is water, so all of the bright red colors are lakes and rivers. The pinks and purples are the soils that will allow water to travel down to the water table. This project was about polluted water and what areas would have more contaminated ground water based on soil type and texture. 

LiDAR Data of Clemson University 

The map above is showing a LiDAR scan of the Clemson Univeristy Campus. There are multiple LiDAR returns present on this map. This part of the campus shows the football stadium on the right side of the image which is noticeable due to the large color gradient. The lower less tall parts of the campus have the color purple and the higher parts of campus have the color orange. 

Mangrove NDVI Analysis in Thailand

This map is showing new mangrove growth from a restoration site in Thailand. The restoration project is run by CBEMR, which stands for community based ecological mangrove restoration. The 2015 image is the start of the project and the 2023 image shows how successful the restoration site is. 

Soil Types For Two HUC-12 Boundaries For Capstone Report

This map shows the different soil types present in this region surrounding Saranac Lake, New York. The different soil codes relate to the different features and capabilities of the soil. Different variable's include adhesion and cohesion, infiltration rate, runoff, and capillary action. 

Land Use Classification Codes in Saranac Lake, New York

This map shows the areas in the HUC-12 boundaries that have different land functions. This map was very beneficial in completing my capstone report.

Carbon Sequestration Rate For The Land Cover Of Saranac Lake, New York 

This map shows the potential carbon sequestration rate per year with the most recent land cover data. Areas with higher rates were wetlands and areas with lower rates of carbon sequestration were urban areas and farm fields.
