The purpose of this map project is to combine a love of genealogy with a love of Geographic Information Systems. The project takes a dataset commonly used in genealogical research (the census) and adds a spatial component to it. The resulting map provides a visual representation of the spatial and quantitative distribution of common surnames in England and Wales based on the 1881 British Census. The design of the map is patterned after the “Geo-Genealogy of Irish Surnames” map created by Dr. Kenneth Field and Dr. Linda Beale. 

With this project I analyzed the locations of B-Cycle stations in the City of Austin. I came up with short-distance routes tourists can use to see the city without incurring additional charges for the bike use. The ArcGIS Network Analyst Extension was used to complete this project. Also included in the project was the design of a tourist brochure that details one of the routes.

This project was done as a community service learning project for Austin B-Cycle. Austin B-Cycle used the data from my analysis and the tourism brochures to create marketing material for their company.

 The purpose of this project was to design a map that is suitable for use in an elementary school classroom. This educational map shows the 10 largest islands in the world.
