Internship Post #3

 Internship Update:

I am expected to perform multiple tasks with little supervision at this point in my internship. When collecting survey data for my project or that of my peers, if we have been previously trained and have the appropriate amount of volunteers, we are expected to collect the data with no higher supervision. Regarding my own project, I have made great progress this semester. I have finished the initial survey of my three survey areas, and have nearly finished processing the data collected from them. I have also been aiding another research associate with their survey project for which the data collection should be finished in the next couple of months. 

After processing the initial data for my project is completed, I will be moving on to applying for a permit with the state to conduct a high-resolution survey and collect core samples. I have also been working on the report for this project simultaneously for time-saving purposes, which will be beneficial after the analysis of all the data is complete. This will allow me to complete the report promptly and have it sent for edits within the month the analysis has been completed.


LinkedIn Profile Update:

I have updated my LinkedIn profile this week to include my skills learned through my GIS certification courses as well as the skills I have been accumulating through my Masters program. I also changed my location to Pensacola, updated my headline to include my research interests, and added my certification to my list of education. After updating my profile I began following companies that interested me.

M4: Data Classification Lab

Image
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.
