Digitizing Map Data
Following a tutorial, I used a raster topographic map and created several vector layers representing features around a park.

Working With Terrain Data
Following a tutorial, I created contours and a hillshade map of the area around Mt. Everest.

Georeferencing Scanned Maps
Following a tutorial, I used a scanned map of southern India from 1870 and geo-referenced it using QGIS. The scanned map was obtained from Hipkiss’ Scanned Old Maps.

Basic GIS Operations 1
The following are screenshots from four tutorials I followed. Link and description are in each caption.
Build a dashboard for a covid-19 hotline calling system
Description: This project was done for a course I took through Bootcamp GIS in partnership with the University of New Mexico. It is a COVID-19 hotline call dashboard with ArcGIS Pro. People in Albuquerque could call into the hotline and a call taker asks questions and fills in a survey. That survey data is dynamically updated in this dashboard.
Data visualization exercises
Description: These are screenshots captured while working from the book Discover QGIS 3.x by Kurt Menke. These exercises are from part 5 of the book, Advanced Data Visualization. This was assigned coursework I did in Geospatial Tech with John Beltran at Central New Mexico Community College.
Agroforestry Design Project in Berea, Kentucky
Description: This is work done under Matt Wilson, the then-sustainable agriculture person at the Berea College farm. The project was to create a perennial polyculture system for livestock on 1 acre of Berea College farmland. These screenshots from Sketchup show contours I was able to create using elevation data I had obtained from Google Earth. The idea for the design was chestnut, apple, mulberry and swamp oak planted on contour. The species were selected based partly on USGS soil data, which is shown.
Trash Dumps Around Petroglyph National Monument
Description: This map was done in a lab for my GIS 1 course, taught by John Beltran at Central New Mexico Community College. It shows the distribution of medium-sized trash dumps around Petroglyph National Monument.
Bus Stops Around Campus
Description: This map is the product of a lab I did in my GIS 1 course taught by John Beltran at Central New Mexico Community College (CNM). It shows the distribution of bus stops around the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) campus of CNM.
Albuquerque Vertical Control Monuments
Description: Vertical control monuments, or survey markers, are markers placed in key points on the Earth’s surface, used in land surveying. The map was the product of a lab done in the course “Geospatial Technology” taught by the instructor John Beltran at Central New Mexico Community College. In the lab, I performed a basic spatial analysis using various data. Although the analysis is simple, I was performing quite a few tasks, including creating queries.
