Presenting the modeling results from my thesis on Beaver Habitat Suitability.
Crash Analysis, Ca. Hwys 35 and 84
An analysis of collision factors and risks on two dangerous mountain roads in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Prototype Restoration Checker
Using Moisture (NVMI) and Greenness (NDVI) indices to check on restoration project status. It's still slow--I am working on it.
StoryMaps hosted on ArcGIS Online
Cartography
Shell Mound Locations
Shell Mounds in San Francisco Bay, 1909, as mapped by N.C. Nelson overlaid with historic habitats.
Hawk Migration
Created with MoveBank Data with ArcGIS and Adobe tools. I attended a WiGIS workshop with John Nelson as inspiration and guidance for this map.
Song Sparrow Sites
This map shows the study sites for Brad Speno's thesis: "Effects of Salt Pond Restoration and Vegetation Characteristics on the Alameda Song Sparrow".
Tree Canopy and Housing Values
High house values cluster in areas with high tree cover calculated in R.
Undersea Cables
Antarctic researchers want wifi. These are the current undersea cables with the Spilhaus Projection, which conserves ocean surface areas, rather than land surface areas.
Survey Point Placement
Survey points for a habitat suitability scorecard field research work.
Field Sampling Permit Application Maps
I created buffered sampling maps for permit applications and laid them out as a series.
Posters
SF Bay Area Neighborhood Sea Level Rise Study
I used spatial analysis in R to determine whether neighborhoods are more or less vulnerable to 3.5 ft. sea level rise based on income and poverty factors.
