Land Use and Environmental Modeling Class, Urban Growth Project
CURBA Urban Growth Model Simulation of Lehigh County, PA
Challenge: Use a CURBA urban growth model to determine the future urbanized areas for one of Pennsylvania’s counties. First predict the independent variables that will influence urbanization, then use SPSS to statistically determine which variables matter, and finally use GIS techniques to simulate the evolution of urbanization in the county.

Business Geographics Class, Final Project
New Store Location Analysis for Barnes & Noble
Challenge: Determine the ideal location for a new retail store in Pennsylvania using ESRI's Business Analyst GIS extension. PLEASE NOTE, this was a final class project meant to develop proficiency in Business Analyst and is NOT intended as a recommendation for Barnes & Noble or as a reflection of their business practices.

Land Use and Environmental Modeling Class, Net Logo Project
Agent Based Model Disease Transmission Simulation
Challenge: Create an agent based model to simulate disease transmission using "Net Logo." Model this phenomenon through a scenario of zombies chasing and converting humans. The red arrowheads indicate zombies and the white indicate humans.

Land Use and Environmental Modeling Class, Community Viz Project
Simulation of Three Grey's Ferry Development Scenarios
Challenge: Prepare and analyze three redevelopment “scenarios” for the area near Grey's Ferry using "Community Viz." Assign appropriate zoning via the "Land Use Designer" and gather statistics via the "Build Out Wizard." Finally present your scenarios in 3D via "Scenario 360."
Scenario 1: Traditional Philadelphia Urban Form: This scenario features a rectangular block structure similar to that in Central City, coupled with two-to-four story row homes.
Scenario 2: Master-planned Community: This scenario should be designed around the development of a mixed-use community featuring multiple housing forms (mid-rises, garden apartments row homes, triples and twins); mixed-use development coupling housing, retail, office, and institutional uses; individual and/or joint use parking facilities; embedded parks and public spaces; and community facilities and amenities.
Scenario 3: “Towers in the Park:” This scenario should be designed around the development of a multiple high-rise residential towers, structured or surface parking, private lawns and gardens, public green spaces and parks, and community-serving retail uses and/or buildings.

Web-Based GIS Class, Final Project
Hurricane Vulnerability in Pennsylvania
Challenge: Develop a web-based GIS-application that tackles an important environmental and social issue: Determine the areas of Pennsylvania most susceptible to hurricane damage based on land cover, topography, and the wind speed and direction of the storm. Basemap from ESRI, land cover data from PASDA, topography data from class database. Consulted with Professor Emery Boose of the Harvard Forest to determine vulnerability metrics.

Advanced Topics in GIS Class, Final Project Excerpt:
Zoning in Philadelphia
Challenge: Tackle a GIS-related research problem: Document the zoning changes in Philadelphia over the course of the 2000s, focusing on industrial and residential land. Data was collected from PASDA.
Note: "Births" indicate the appearance of a zoning type and "deaths" indicate the disappearance of a zoning type. The fourth and fifth figures depict relative levels of industrial and residential birth and death from 2000-2010 and were created in ArcScene.
