Course Projects:
Risk assessment map for Washington County, NC. Created map to show storm surge
inundation based off tropical cyclone speed using the model builder in ArcCatalog with
vector data.
Created a raster data model using pass/fail screening for Guilford County, NC. The objective
was to find suitable sites for weather stations in the Piedmont Triad. A DEM and rasterized
land use image were used to set the criteria for this analysis. Suitable sites had little slope,
similar elevation values to PTI Airport, and natural vegetation. Aerial photography was used
to verify suitable sites.
