GIS and Map Projects

As the son of an oceanographer and map maker I have loved maps and GIS as long as I can remember.  These projects show a variety of skills and software use including:

  • ArcGIS
  • QGIS
  • Map Preservation and Digitization
  • Non Traditional Uses of GIS

The links below will take you to an number of projects, including:

  • Dangerous Waters – a research project looking at the impact of World War Two shipwrecks with custom maps using ArcGIS
  • Oceans of Kinfolk – Mapping project assisting a doctoral candidate looking at the forced movements of enslaved people in the pre Civil War period
  • Grandfathers Maps – Preservation and digitalization of World War Two maps of France used by my Grandfather during his time as a US Cavalry officer in the European Theater of Operation in 1944-45.
  • Geographic Information and Hobbies – The use of GIS tools and information in public libraries to support hobbies like model railroading, bird watching and fishing.
