My Interest in GIS

I have an emphasis in Geography within my Environmental Studies Major. I took the three class series on Geographic Information Systems and Science (GIS) that the UCSB Geography Department offers. From these courses I found that I greatly enjoy working with geo-spatial data because of its versatility and wide array of visualization techniques.

The series included:

GIS Applications

  • Planning, design, analysis, and presentation of a GIS pilot study.
  • I worked with a group on a suitability analysis for prescribed burn and forest mastication areas in Yosemite National Park in ArcGIS Pro.
  • We designed, executed, and presented our research within the ten week course.
    • See the final Poster and Digital Artifact in the Misc. page!
  • Taught by Professor Peter Kedron
