This map identified feature 1, the bodies of water, using layer 4 in greyscale. 



This map identified feature 2, the snow, using a multispectral True Color band combination.


This map identified feature 3, the bay, using a multispectral NIR band combination. It shows the two water systems mixing in the bay.

Scale and Spatial Data

-

 This week was the last module of the Special Topics course! We learned about scale and spatial data. Particularly about the different effects of scale on vector and raster data. With vector data, the scale affects the detail of the data. For example, at a larger scale vector data is much less detailed than the data would be at a smaller scale. The scale of raster data affects the resolution (cell size).  A larger-scale raster (i.e. 90m cell size) is much less detailed than a smaller-scale raster (i.e. 2m cell size). The cell size will also affect the results of any spatial analysis completed, such as slope. Part of the assignment was to determine gerrymandering, which is the manipulating of electoral boundaries to benefit a particular political party. One way to determine it is by measuring the compactness with the Polsby-Popper score (Morgan and Evans 2018). This method creates a score from 0 to 1. In the assignment, I calculated the Polsby-Popper score for the congressional...

Internship- job searching

-
 My GIS internship course asked us to research GIS jobs that we would be interested in. I chose to look for archaeology jobs that incorporate or use GIS. I did not look in a particular area or region of the country. I found a decent number of jobs that fit what I was interested in. I did notice that many of them are in the mid-west or west. I also noticed that not many of the positions were entry-level, which worries me a little bit.  We were asked to share our findings in a discussion post. After reading the posts of my classmates, I see that some are worried about some of the same things as me: finding and qualifying for entry-level jobs. It makes me feel better that I am not the only one worried about that.
