M4: Coastal Flooding

M4: Coastal Flooding

Module 4 we explored Coastal Flooding- the procedures for assessment, how elevations models are used, overlay analysis, how to examine the effects of difference in boundaries, and how to determine errors.

New Tools were the Raster Calculator, Region Group, Times

Tools I had to refresh my knowledge on LAS Dataset to TIN and Reclassify.

Thanks to my classmates who had already troubleshooted quite a few things on the discussion boards and tips from Dr. Gallagher , I only had a few brief roadblocks, most notably the files not repairing, converting the LiDAR from feet to meters, and using the Region Group tool correctly. 

I did a quick map of the New Jersey area post Hurricane Sandy . I started from one of the layout templates and then I tried out a "zoom" visual. 

I did not use a template on Collier County and used the same "zoom" technique as I did for Sandy. I also did a gray background on the credits to provide an anchor/balance to the page. 

Notes

Overall, I feel like I did not struggle with concepts as much as I struggled with ArcPro and using the tools correctly. I kept rereading the instructions (and even repeated Analysis 3) to make sure I got all the steps in order correctly. Mostly because I have the feeling I am missing something- Kinda like when you pack for a trip, can't shake the feeling like you forgot something but it all seems to be there, and you only figure out the thing you forgot when you need it. I'm hoping it's imposter syndrome but will not be surprised if it's not.
