Remote Sensing Week 3

Back with another ERDAS masterpiece.

Steep learning curve; wish there was more time, as I'm beginning to 'get it'.

Remote Sensing Week 1

Here's the link to my first ERDAS creation.

Flash! ACT Releases Student Test Scores

Amidst a struggling economic background and dwindling funds for education, schools across America are reeling in their attempt to leave 'no child behind'. The American College Testing Program, established in 1959, is a major player in evaluating high schools students' academic abilities. Typically, states with mandatory testing (Colorado, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan and Wyoming) have lower overall scores, as not all of their graduates are college bound.

Week 11 Wind Generation Site

I seem to have lost some text along the way. Maybe due to the mean wind in excess of 5 meters/second, or the isolated location outside of migratory bird paths, access to the power grid and regional transportation. Un-texting is always difficult.

Isopleth Map of Georgia Rainfall

Here is my attempt at a 'hand drawn' isopleth map of rainfall in Georgia. I found manual interpolation difficult; several attempts and still not anything I'd present to a client... I seriously considered manually digitizing the ai layer and using Arc to draw the contours. I did learn more about the Pencil Tool in Adobe 'Irritater', and a keen appreciation of the folks at USGS that produced the beautiful Topo maps I've used for hiking.

'Bonus' Exercise - Classified Wine Consumption Map

Hi all! I enjoyed the research so much in producing my Proportionate Symbol Map in Week Seven (Wine Consumption in Europe), that I revisited it. I felt it may be misleading, as the consumption data was not standardized. In this attempt, I combined a Choropleth map of Population Density with a Proportionate Symbol layer showing consumption. Cypress appears completely awash in wine...

I drew this idea from the European Energy map in the ESRI Mapping Center. Cheers!

Flow Map of Immigration to the USA

Here is my attempt at a Flow Map depicting immigration by Continent. I struggled again with Adobe Illustrator... Each 'source Continent' was placed in its own frame in Arc, and retain their scale. North America is larger, to make it visually obvious as the destination.
