Today I created used GIS Pro for the first time in GIS 5050.  I created a crude map of the world.  I had trouble trying to fit the entire boundaries into the layout so the very left and right margins got cut off.  I expect to learn this task sometime later in the course.

My GeoJourney begins today!

                                             In Spring 2023 I began the graduate certificate in GIS at the University of West Florida.  The first and current class I am taking in the program is GIS 5050, Geographic Information Systems.  One of the first course assignments requires students to create a blog that they will use not only for this class, but future ones in the certificate program.  While I have yet to start work on my own GIS projects for class, I thought I would share one from my course project in the last GIS class that I took (GIS 5107) at the University of Florida in Spring of 2010. This map shows the distribution of graves and artifacts at the Old Oakland Cemetery in Oakland, Orange County, Florida and the site's proximity to Highway 50 and a sinkhole immediately to the northwest.  The map also shows contou...

GIS Portfolio

Image
I am proud to present my portfolio , which fulfills GIS Internship (GIS 5945), my final course for the graduate certificate in Geographic Information Science (GIS) at the University of West Florida (UWF).  This may be the last entry to this blog, at least during the remainder of my time in the program. In this entry I will provide highlights from my portfolio and what I accomplished for the GIS internship along with some final thoughts on the program. The primary goals for the internship related to my work as a professor at Gulf Coast State College (GCSC) in Panama City, Florida.  These involved: developing a World Regional Geography with GIS course, producing site maps for GCSC archaeological research projects, and conducting basic spatial analysis. I shared information on progress on the first task in a previous entry (February 29, 2024), so here I will discuss the last two. In the Spring 2015 semester, GCSC offered its first Introduction to Archaeology (ANT 2100) course, an...

Python Fundamentals

Image
This week in GIS Programming, we learned about the basics of Python, including working with string variables, function and method calls, importing modules, running and saving Python script using Notebook in ArcGIS Pro, including comments in scripts, creating loops and conditional statements, and using iterate variables within loops to control script workflow. In this activity assigned, I split and printed my full name, I fixed errors in a pre-written code for a dice game, which was ran, created a loop that added 20 random numbers between 0 and 10 to a list, then created a loop that removed a chosen integer from this list, and concluding with printing statements on the outcome of the random number selected, the instances of its occurrence, and an updated listed without the chosen number.    This flowchart shows the workflow for the activity:      This screen shot shows the output of the script I wrote:     I found this lab challenging and time intensi...
