Week 10: Vector Analysis 2

In this week's lab we learned how to use buffer and overlay tools, as well as learn how to use ArcPy. The most difficult part about this weeks lab was using ArcPy and making sure everything was inserted correctly, because one mistake could mess up the whole code. Now I have gained more knowledge into being able to be successful in the class.

Week 7-8 Data Search Lab Assignment

This weeks lab served as our midterm assignment and it was as challenging as you expected it to be. For this week were assigned to collected data from LABINS and FGDL to analyze certains aspects of a county we were assigned. I was assigned Hillsborough county, my home county and at the end of this lab I came to these three maps. The first map is an Environmental map which includes: Cities, Rivers, Roads, Invasive Plants, State Parks, and an Aerial of the county, specifically my home town. The second map is a Digital Elevation Map of the county, it was very difficult to clip this map because of it being two different sets of data but in the end I understood on how to fix the issue by using the Extract by Mask tool. The third and final map is a Land Cover map which shows the amount of land in Hillsborough county. The lab was difficult at the beginning trying to figure everything out and remember how to do the steps from the other labs but throughout the process of making these maps it got very easy and now I feel as I am ready for anything to be assigned to myself.
