Coastal Flooding

The most challenging aspect of the lab itself this week was figuring out how to correctly reclassify rasters, render them as polygons, and merge them with others to get the tables to populate correctly. I was stuck on this step of the lab for a couple hours. When I was finally able to get it to work for selecting the buildings within the USGS flood plain(after finding a post from the professor about how other students found it easier to complete, see screenshot below), my online desktop/software decided that it did not want to complete the rendering process to select for the buildings within the LiDAR flood plain. I tried restarting the online desktop multiple times to see if I could just restart the process, but it ended up not even loading the contents of the map. If I can get the map to load correctly or have the opportunity to redo this last part of the assignment this week, I will resubmit the assignment and update this blog post as well.

M4: Data Classification Lab

For this week's lab, we compared four of the common data classification methods: Equal interval, standard deviation, natural breaks, and quantile. In order to compare and contrast these methods thoroughly, we needed to prepare two layouts with all four classification methods.  The map layout above is the first one that I created which shows the percentage of the various communities within the Miami-Dade area that are above 65. From left to right, the classification methods used were Equal Interval, Natural Breaks, Quantile, and Standard Deviation. There is an obvious difference between each of these in the way that the same data is represented on the map. Since the data that we are trying to accurately represent is only dealing with one variable, I believe that the natural breaks method is the best one to represent which areas house the largest population over the age of 65. it creates clean groups that can easily be interpreted. The second layout that I created, above, has the met...

 This week was our final assignment. For this assignment, we were to write a code to create a new text file and copy all the information for the point data for 25 features. This data included the Feature OID, Vertex ID, X coordinates, Y coordinates, and the name of the river features. I created the code below, and the images following the code show the resulting text file.
