Welcome to GIS 5007 Spring 2023

-


My name is Kelsey Yoder-Ostroski and I am a new(er) student in the world of GIS. This is my third class in UWF's GIS Admin graduate program as a full-time student. At the moment I am a caregiver to our kids but I also do volunteer work with a nonprofit providing support to local moms. We are a military family; we have lived in the Navarre area for 3 years and are preparing to move to Germany this summer. I'm not ready for the cold! I am originally from Texas so I love the heat, but we can't wait to see everything Germany and its neighbors have to offer. 

In my free time, I enjoy learning German, baking (mostly breads), or doing home improvement projects. I have a weakness for cookies and power tools. 

I am pursuing a master's in GIS business administration because I love how applicable and versatile it is. It literally encompasses every topic on Earth from the land to its resources and to all of history. I'm not 100% sure what I will do after graduating but I am interested in the more human-centric activities involving GIS such as human activity, trends, and changes.

Coastal Flooding & Storm Surge Analysis

-

     As climate change continues to intensify storms and increase flooding, it is vital for communities and governments to prepare for inevitable storm damage. In this week's lab, we explored coastal flooding models and prepared our own storm surge analysis. Our study area was Mantoloking, New Jersey, a low-laying barrier island that suffered major damage from superstorm Sandy in 2012. More information about the storm can be found on New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection . Superstorm Sandy     By comparing LiDAR data before and a few days after the storm, we can create a comparison analysis. The LiDAR data is converted into a DEM by first creating a TIN (triangulated irregulated network). As the TIN shows, the topography varies little with only very mild sloping.  LiDAR .las point cloud dataset is converted into a  TIN       By subtracting the two DEMS, we can see the changes in the environment. Further color manipulation makes it clear where land has eroded or be

LiDAR and Vegetation Density

 LiDAR (Light Detecting And Ranging) is an exciting method of remote sensing where light in the form of a pulsing laser is emitted and measured to create highly detailed images. LiDAR is capable of penetrating through vegetation (or water) and measuring topography, including manmade structures. It is currently the most accurate method of creating digital elevation models (DEM). With LiDAR collected from USGS, we were able to create a DEM and a digital surface model (DSM), the latter containing manmade structures in addition to elevation. LiDAR can measure bare earth as well as surface features. Because we can measure both, we can create a map of tree height and use it to calculate tree canopy density. In the map below, we can see light-to-dark values which represent the lowest to highest surface values (in feet). The lightest values represent clear-cutting or manmade structures such as roads and campsites. The darkest values indicate the tallest trees. Density can be calculated by comp
