Description

GEOM1000 Assignment 2 Questions (20 marks in total) DONE - Practical 5 questions (2.5 marks): 5.2 Save an image of a map of Queensland that includes your work changing the appearance of the local government areas, roads, and airports layers. Present this saved image here. (1 mark)

Map of Local Government Areas in Queensland and Selected Infrastructure

5.10 What local government area in Queensland has the third highest 2016 population and what is that population value? (0.5 marks) Townsville with a population of 186,757. 5.12 Save an image of your map of Queensland with labelled airport names. Present this saved image here. (1 mark)

DONE - Practical 6 questions (3.5 marks): 6.1 Create (and save a high quality digital copy of) a map to present the information of the tree density and tree height in the UQ St Lucia campus. Present this saved image here. (2.5 marks)

6.2 Write no more than 100 words to describe the main features of your map. (1 mark) The map serves the purpose to indicate the tree density and height in UQ St Lucia campus where the main features are density of trees, amenities such as sport fields and buildings, the general topography and the height of the trees. Practical 7 questions (4 marks): 7.1 Present an image map with scale bar and legend showing the results of your classification. Explain why some cases your 10 classes contained multiple land cover types. (2 marks)

The legend contains a land-use classification scheme to acknowledge and reference the different types of land cover in regard to the natural and the build environment. The legend is an aggregated classification where broad land use such as Urban structures and water bodies have been standardised to describe the spatial distribution.

7.2 Explain how the image classification processing operation is used to transform the Landsat OLI image into a map showing the spatial distribution of different vegetation types on the land areas of the image. (2 marks) The image classification processing operation transforms Landsat OLI images by converting the raster images into single-banded raster images where the different classes can be broken down numerical, assigned a colour to create a land-use classification scheme. The different classes convert to the different vegetation types once the image classification is made.

Practical 8 questions (10 marks): 8.1 Record the URL for your Australia population web map that includes the modified base map. Make sure your web map is shared with everyone to make sure you get credit for this exercise (ask a demonstrator if you need assistance). We will check your work for completeness and technical merit (do you have the pop-ups configured properly, do you

have the map zoomed to the proper extent, etc.) as well as its appearance (did you choose an appropriate color scheme). (1.5 marks) https://arcg.is/rySTC

8.2 Write no more than 100 words to describe the main features of your map. (1 mark) The main feature of this choropleth map is to use different shading to indicate the population in the predefined areas, the different states. Note the map is quite zoomed out as zooming in would crop out Tasmania and while Tasmania is comparatively quite small population size it is still important. Zooming in , the map also has the labelled important geographic points in Australia such as the Great Diving Range and the Simpson Desert. 8.3 Record the URL for your web map that includes the Murray-Darling Basin and a modified base map. Make sure your web map is shared with everyone to make sure you get credit for this exercise (ask a demonstrator if you need assistance). We will check your work for completeness and technical merit (do you have the pop-ups configured properly, do you have the map zoomed to the proper extent, etc.) as well as its appearance (did you choose appropriate color schemes).

8.4 Write no more than 100 words to describe the main features of your map. (1 mark) The Main feature of the map is to showcase the conglomerate of rivers within the Murray Darling Basin. The map has a topographic base map to represent the topography on the two-dimensional surface when referencing the major geographical area. The conjunction between each river, the dotted line, indicates the tributaries. 8.5 Create a story map on the topic of your choice following these guidelines: (5 marks) I. II. III.

IV. V. VI.

Please create at least 5 sections in your story map; - yes Include three major parts in your story map, including an introduction, a body, and a conclusion; - yes In order to demonstrate your learning in GEOM1000 / GEOM 7200 include at least 2 maps you created. These maps can either be from the pracs or additional maps you create just for your storymap; - yes Add content to help with the narration of the story, including pictures, videos, pages etc.; - yes You can upload pictures or maps you created with QGIS / ArcGIS in jpeg format to enrich the content of your story; - yes Follow the guidelines for the use of images in story maps presented by ESRI here:

VII. VIII.

All of the content should be relevant and concise. If you cite outside sources, include both in-text citations along with a reference list at the of your Story Map.

Record the URL for your final Story Map. Make sure your web map is shared with everyone (again, ask a demonstrator if you need assistance). Verify your Story Map link works by sharing with a friend or family member. Your Story Map will be evaluated for completeness, technical merit and creativity. https://arcg.is/0LXzn...
