How Structural Complexity Of Vegetation Facilitates Invasion: Integrating Lidar And Fia Invasive Species Plot Data In The Appalachian Mountains Of The Usa, Buddhika D. Madurapperuma, Basil V. Iannone Iii, Jinha Jung, Bryan C. Pijanowski, Songlin Fei, Gang Shao

Purdue GIS Day

This study examines how the vertical structure of forests and the variation in forest canopy tree composition relates to where forest plant invasions occur at a regional scale. We used LiDAR data on vertical structure of forests collected across 16 counties of western North Carolina, and Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) abundance data of invasive plant species and canopy tree species from 575 plots. We found that nearly one third of these plots were invaded by at least one invasive plant species (range = 1 to 8 species). We derived canopy gaps/clear-cut areas of the study site using LiDAR data …

Infertmapper: A Mobile Map App For Fertilizer Setbacks, Akshay Kochar, Larry Theller

Purdue GIS Day

Goal: To develop a mobile app decision-support tool which facilitates compliance by livestock producers with the new fertilizer regulations. This tool provides a map which allows users to quickly know where the various setbacks are located in relation to a field being evaluated for a manure application or temporary storage (staging).

Broadening Access To Geospatial Capabilities, Carol Song

Purdue GIS Day

Responding to the need for geospatial tool and data capabilities in HUBzero from various communities, a Purdue team is developing and integrating geospatial capabilities into the HUBzero software. Funded by the National Science Foundation’s Data Infrastructure Building Blocks (DIBBs) initiative, the follow-on program to the DataNet program, the GABBs project is a four-year software development effort aiming at enabling researchers, students and citizens to share geospatial data and tools online without requiring significant amounts of software expertise or IT administrative privileges. The new geospatial functions are being integrated into the HUBzero framework such as RAPPTURE Toolkit for rapid tool development, …

Creating Easy And Fun Gis Web Applications, Teresa L. Clark

Purdue GIS Day

Applications for GIS can be far more than just maps, spatial and network analysis, or geocoding. The tools that are available can be fun and useful for many different types of people with varying levels of experience. With the availability with ArcGIS Online Web AppBuilder a person without much experience in GIS can make a professional quality presentation that highlights different related attributes. This talk will showcase recent applications that I created with the ArcGIS Story Map Tour and Story Map Text and Legend templates for a Purdue University GIS class. These tools show the countrywide travels of an airline …

The Emerging American Empire: Republican Capitalist Development In The Usa, 1830-1930, Richard Hogan

Purdue GIS Day

Capital Accumulation, territorial expansion, and the rise and fall of political party systems mark the history of the American Empire, 1830-1930. During this time, the USA emerged from colonial dependency at the edge of the British Empire (after the War of 1812) and established a bipartisan political system (after the election of Jackson in 1828), which was destroyed by the irrepressible conflict between institutionalized Slavery and the challenge of Abolitionism, 1830-1860, culminating in the Civil War. After the election of 1860, a new bipartisan system and renewed industrial capitalist expansion (especially after the political storm from Reconstruction to Populism, 1876-1896) …

Beyond Gis: The Promise Of Spatial Humanities, David J. Bodenhamer

Purdue GIS Day

Geospatial technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have facilitated the (re)discovery of space for humanists. Yet until recently GIS has had only limited ability to move us beyond a map of geographical space into a richer, more evocative concepts of place based on history and memory. Over the past few years, GIScientists have made advances in spatial multi-media, in GIS-enabled web services, geo-visualization, cyber geography, and virtual reality that provide capabilities far exceeding the abilities of GIS on its own. This presentation will explore how the convergence of technologies, including but not limited to GIS, has led to the …

Webservices And Gis-Based Management System For Qingshuihai Reservoir, Larry Theller, Yonggui Wang, Wanshun Zhang, Shan Hu

Purdue GIS Day

The development of a modern integrated water quality model of Qingshuihai Reservoir and its watershed would permit decision-makers and water quality managers to address mechanisms underlying observed trends in water quality within Qingshuihai Reservoir, to assess the potential benefits of reductions in point source, non-point source inputs of nutrients, and to provide the Authority with a user-friendly management software for basin management and drinking water security system.

Giscience Driven R&D: Interdisciplinary Gist Group At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Marie Urban

Purdue GIS Day

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is the largest DOE multi-research facility in the US and is located in Oak Ridge, TN. One of the signature strengths of ORNL is Computational Science and Engineering and the Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIST) group contributes to that strength as part of the Computer Sciences and Engineering Division (CSED) within the Computer Sciences Directorate. The GIST group is at the forefront of High Resolution Population and Social Dynamics research and development resulting in innovative products such as LandScan Global (population distribution at 30 arc seconds) and now LandScan HD (population distribution at 3 …

Mapping Lake Michigan Fish Catch Data, Jacob Wodd, Jarrod Doucette, Tomas O. Höök

Purdue GIS Day

The only Great Lake completely contained in the U.S., Lake Michigan offers an abundance of recreational fishing. This project takes 20 years’ worth of salmonid fish catch data, and uses GIS to organize and visually represent the data in a way that is meaningful and helpful to local fisherman and researchers. Species represented included Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, Chinook Salmon, and Coho Salmon. The species are organized by both decadal and yearly spans, as well as catch per trip, catch per angler hour, and total catches. These data are the foundation for a web based app that allows …
