Web Maps and Apps
These are all projects that pertain to web apps, web pages or web maps. As such, these may appear in other pages as well as in this one and in the 'Overview" page
Web Page
The webpage can be found here. This was the final project for a guided study course I took during my last semester at WVU. The Indian Creek Watershed Association wanted two items. First was a webpage for the public to be able to access web maps related to the Mountain Valley Pipeline as well as other surrounding features. They also wanted a private web map that had all of the data so they could edit and perform analysis as needed, I did not have permission to include the private map here.
I created all of the web maps using a combination of ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online. Much of the data was provided by a group called Downstream Strategies, but it was not in a easily understandable form, many if which had corrupted file names. to remedy this I researched the layers to determine what they were, then I worked on renaming the files, cleaning up the visible fields, configuring popups, and then I symbolized them. Some of the data was retrieved from online sources in their completed forms. The remaining data was found through other sources and needed editing, like the portion of Virginian watersheds. This data started out as a different order for the entire state. I had to dissolve the data to match the order of the West Virginia layer that I was provided, clip out the portion the client wanted and then rename each watershed using a key I found online.
Once the web maps were completed, I created the webpage. The client didn't provide a guideline on how they wanted this, so I had a lot of freedom. I opted to use ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Experience builder. this allowed me to link all of the webpages together into one application as well as allowing me to create buttons to link other online recourses that I thought would may be useful to the user.

WVU Downtown Campus Web App
This map is embedded in this webpage and can be interacted with. Each polygon can be clicked to bring up a table with information about the building it represents, layers can be toggled on and off and the user can select from a variety of base maps the widget in the bottom left hand corner can be used to quickly navigate between locations I felt to be most important. This is a web application that I created to assist some people who are prospective WVU students. The goal of this app is to help these new students navigate the WVU Downtown campus. The app is optimized to work on desktop as well as on mobile devices to allow students to view the buildings from home or on campus.
I created this using QGIS, ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online. I created the data in QGIS by digitizing buildings on the downtown campus that I believed were relevant and populating the attribute tables with fields such as name, building abbreviation, address as well as an image of the building. I then brought the data over to ArcGIS Pro to symbolize and label the data so it wouldn't need further modification when I uploaded it to ArcGIS Online. From there, I used the Web App Builder to create an application that can be viewed on desktop as well as on mobile. I added widgets to allow the user to toggle data layers, search for locations and to use bookmarks that are linked to the college buildings. Above, I have embedded the application above, but it can also be found and shared with this link here.

Burn Severity web Map
This map displays the burn severity of a fire that occurred in Angeles National Forest in 2016. To create this I used 2 Landsat 8 scenes, one which was collected before a forest fire and one which was collected after the fire. These scenes had 7 spectral bands each including 3 visible light bands, 1 near infrared band, 2 shortwave bands and 1 blue edge band. For this analysis I calculated normalized burn ratio (NBR) for the pre and post fire scenes, then using those results I calculated difference normalized burn ratio (dNBR). These calculations use the ratio of near infrared and short wave infrared bands. Larger dNBR ratios indicate more severely burned plant life. However, this does not mean all pixels marked as moderate to high severity are always accurate. For example, water is often also marked as moderate to high severity. This can be seen in the north western portion of the map.
This analysis was done using QGIS then symbolized in ArcGIS Pro to be published to ArcGIS Online. The web map is imbedded in this webpage, All layers can be toggled on and off using the built in legend which can be found in a side bar on the left side of the map beside the map extent control widgets. A description of the map as well as a description of the layers and more information about dNBR can also be found here under the tab called "details".
