Module 5 LiDAR

SAT Final Project

A map showing average SAT scores and participation of high school seniors for 2009. A combination of proportional symbols (average score) and choropleth (percent participation) is displayed. Data from The College Board 2009.

This would be a great location for a new wind farm. Most of the year this area experiences high winds, even in the summer a "lake breeze" occurs in the afternoons that is sufficient to power the turbine. It is isolated from residential areas by a calcite mine. There is a shipping port in the calcite mine nearby, but if the generators are placed strategically then interference with shipping will be minimal at most.

For some reason I could not get the text in the balloon to save with the image, I tried several times and found no help from google earth. The text above should be in the balloon.

This map shows the contour lines of annual precipitation in the state of Georgia. This one took me some time to get looking the way it should. Getting everything in the correct layers was very important and after I did that things were a little easier.

Flow Map

This map shows Immigrants to the U.S. in 2007 by region. I did not include a scale bar in this map because each region was in a different scale and I did not feel it was necessary to display the data accuratly.

Week 7
