Using Gis For Determining Optimal Refugee Camp Placement In Western Thailand, Christopher Pierce
Using Gis For Determining Optimal Refugee Camp Placement In Western Thailand, Christopher Pierce
Annual Graduate Student Symposium
Refugee camps are often over crowded, which can create security issues and create strain on the camp infrastructure, supplies, officials, and other areas. ‘GIS for Good’ created methodology to determine optimal placement for refugee camps in Uganda using GIS. Their model focused on environmental (ie. Distance to water, land use, etc.) and social factors (population density, distance to education and health facilities, etc.). These factors were reclassified to rank most optimal sites 10 and least optimal sites 1. Factors were also weighted to give more emphasis to distance from water, slope, and food suitability sites compared to other factors. These …
Spatiotemporal Analysis Of Wildfire Activity In The Tundra Biome Using Modis Data (2000-2014), Arif Masrur
Spatiotemporal Analysis Of Wildfire Activity In The Tundra Biome Using Modis Data (2000-2014), Arif Masrur
Annual Graduate Student Symposium
Although tundra wildfires have an important impact on arctic ecosystems, there is comparatively little knowledge about their geography and characteristics. I have been using MOSID-derived active fire data to analyze spatial and temporal patterns of tundra wildfires between 2000 and 2014.
Assessing Vulnerability Mapping Of Nitrate Contamination Among The Private Well Owners Of Black Hawk County, Ia, Junu Shrestha, Sushil Tuladhar
Assessing Vulnerability Mapping Of Nitrate Contamination Among The Private Well Owners Of Black Hawk County, Ia, Junu Shrestha, Sushil Tuladhar
Annual Graduate Student Symposium
The main objective of this study is to find potential sites that might be vulnerable to nitrate contamination by doing weighted overlay analysis using ArcGIS Software and compare those sites with current nitrate contaminated sites.
