GIS Projects

Below are current projects I am working on, as well as maps I have made for previous classes.

Current Projects

My independent projects combine my two passions: GIS and new urbanism. Both will be uploaded upon completion.

Historical Land Use Analysis in Bryn Marw, PA

How did Bryn Mawr go from an economically vibrant railroad suburb to a car-centric nightmare? I will visually display the expansion of urban sprawl by georeferencing historical maps and highlighting exclusionary zoning laws.

Object-Based Land-Cover Mapping in Lincoln Harbor, NJ

As a 20-year resident of Lincoln Harbor, I have seen the district transform from a desolate sea of parking lots to a highly urbanized area. I will be using orthographic images and GIS tools to observe urbanization in the district throughout the past decade.

GIS Labs

Below are a variety of lab projects I have completed in Intro to GIS and GIS for Urban Sustainability Courses.

Stream Flow Testing Locations in Chester County, PA.

Land-Use Analysis

School Distribution in Philadelphia

2010 Pennsylvania Population

Fire Stations in Chester County, PA

Coordinate Systems

Digitizing Data

Stream Flow Testing Locations in Chester County, PA.

Effectively communicating results through clear symbology is just as important as the analysis. Cartography is an art and a science. The geospatial analysis is the science aspect. The map generation undertakes the artistic aspect of cartography.

Square footage of Grass in Logan Square

Digitized grass areas using the End Point Arc Segment.

Land-Use Analysis

Using a comprehensive suite of geoprocessing tools, I performed a spatial analysis of Malvern, PA. 

School Distribution in Philadelphia

2010 Pennsylvania Population

One of my earlier maps. Learned the basics of navigating ArcMap and ArcCatalog 10.8.1.

Fire Stations in Chester County, PA

Learned the analytical capabilities of ArcMap. GIS has the ability to perform rigorous analyses as well as present data in a meaningful way.

Coordinate Systems

Learned the concepts of projections and coordinate systems.

Philadelphia Population

Digitizing Data

By creating and editing a new shapefile, I learned how to edit vector and attribute data.

I love to self-learn. In my free time, I take Esri Training courses.
