To create the above project, I was given data depicting the surface elevations of Bright Angel Canyon and the proposed location of an 1120m dam. Using hydrological analysis tools such as fill, flow direction, and flow accumulation, I found that the reservoir shown to the left would be produced. Then, the capacity of the new reservoir was determined to be 340,048.26 acre-feet by multiplying the depth of water by the cell size of the surface.

To produce this comparison, I was given the United States housing data from 2016 and voting demographic data from the presidential election that occurred in the same year. After joining the tables together, the housing and demographic data for each county in the United States could be compared and statistics could be run. For the entire country, this comparison has an R-squared value of 0.18. When looking regionally at the Southeast United States, though, this comparison resulted in an R-squared value of about 0.70. The higher the R-squared value, the more closely correlated the two variables likely are.
The image to the left was created by georeferencing a NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of Jupiter. The process of georeferencing allows a user to transform a plain image into one that contains geographical information. To do this, the user assigns geographic information to at least 3 points on the original image, and ArcGIS moves the image to accurately represent the geographical information. Once the image was georeferenced, it was projected, or displayed, in a more relevant way, and compared to a projection of Earth at the same scale.
The image above demonstrates the time it would take for a Tsunami to propagate from a proposed epicenter on the island of La Palma of the Canary Islands. To perform this analysis, the data that were given were the elevations of the Earth's surface and the proposed epicenter of the tsunami. From the elevations, the velocity for each part of the surface could be calculated. Using this velocity and the distances across the surface, the time that it would take for the tsunami to travel across each part of the ocean surface could then be calculated. From there, the data was simplified and stylized to show where the tsunami wave would be at each additional hour after the earthquake, up to 24 hours. Given this analysis and the information provided in the graphic, it can be concluded that within approximately 12 hours of an earthquake at La Palma, the East Coast of the United States could expect waves as much as 10-25 ft high.
