Lab III for Intro to GIS

Here are my three finished products for this week's lab. Though most of it was pretty straightforward, it was still very time consuming. The first one showed Mexico's population by state, the second one showed roads, rivers, railways, and urban areas, and finally the third showed elevation. There were a few tricky parts for me, but overall I enjoyed this exercise.

Lab 2 for Cartographic Skills

This was my final product for Week 2. At first, since I have no previous experience with it and I'm fairly technologically handicapped as it is, Adobe Illustrator nearly gave me a stroke. After a little while I got the hang of it though, and it really wasn't that bad. At this point, I find ArcMap much easier to use, but it just takes time. 

My GIS Lab 1 Map! (Pretty fun once I got the hang of it)

The maps I used for Cartographic Skills Lab 1. Both are from a recent prescribed burn we did at work. One is pretty good, the other is pretty useless. First one is the good one:

Then the bad one:

First Attempt!

Greetings everyone! My name is Renick Seanor. I'm a forest ranger for the Florida Forest Service in Escambia County, FL. I mainly work here in Molino, but also spend a good deal of time in the Blackwater River State Forest.

I received my Bachelor's in journalism from UWF in 2009, and have been working for the state for about three and a half years now. I've finally built up the gumption to go back to school, and figured, with my line of work, GIS would be the best route to go. Especially since it's mostly online!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the upcoming semester, should be fun!

Have a good one

Renick
