Massachusetts Community College Proximity

This map shows the 20 mile proximity of the 19 community colleges in Massachusetts in 3 different ways.  The blue shows a general 20 mile buffer around each of the 19 community colleges.  The red areas are the areas of Massachusetts that are outside of this 20 mile are and were produced through the use of the euclidean distance tool, I left the areas within the 20 mile limit hollow (uncolored) so you could see the buffer layer.  The last part of this analysis was done through use of the network analyst extension and use of a service area analysis.  This result shows a 10 mile area in dark green and a 20 mile area in bright green.  These three analyses are then stacked so you can see the differences between the 3 methods.

Mt. Tom Wind Turbine Visibility

This assignment pertained to the placement of a wind turbine atop Mt. Tom and the related degrees of visibility it would produce. This link will bring you to the ArcGIS online web app I have created to show this map.  This shows the 25,50,75,and 100 percent viewsheds on top of one another in different colors so you can see the differences.
                                This is a .JPG  image of the poster I made to represent this data



This is the Google earth view of the 100% (400 ft) viewshed
