This is my first blog page and place to post the GIS projects that I am making for my on-line class in Cartographic Skills that I'm enrolled in at University of West Florida!
In this first map submission, there is a market comparison for the two existing stores to distinguish household patterns for book sales and the relative drive time to arrive at the store. The Steiner location will be used as a model store to perform the comparative analysis to select the best of the two proposed locations for the newest addition to the Best Books Store family.
The three prospective locations are identified in the following map.
This map compares four demographic parameters with the locations of the two Better Books stores and competitor store locations.
This map is the first stage in a market analysis for a bookstore company, Best Books, in San Francisco, CA. This map identifies the one mile market zone around each of the two store locations and also the relative percentages of homes with occupants who have pursued college.
Percent tree cover was determined for five neighborhoods in Marin City, California in an effort to demonstrate to the Marin City Manager of the importance of retaining and expanding the city's greenspace.
Calculations were performed to determine the carbon storage and carbon sequestration in the trees in each of the five neighborhoods.
I'm the director and professor of the Environmental Studies Program at Mercer University in Macon, GA. I am also on the faculty of the Mercer School of Medicince. As a biogeochemist, my primary research focus is on water, soil, sediment, and biota. I like to play in the mud.
