The Sentinel 3 OLCI satellite sensor maintained by EUMETSAT is capable of remotely detecting these blooms, allowing NOAA’s NCCOS to process and upload data for multiple areas of interest in the United States […]

• LIGHTS, CAPES, AND HURRICANES

  

  This is an ArcGIS StoryMap. It’s a sort of interactive, map-oriented narrative and analysis about a section of the coast along the Florida Panhandle that I find particularly interesting. I put an auto-scrolling, embedded version of it below – but I recommend opening it in full screen, if interested, especially for those viewing on mobile. […]

• FLORIDA STATE PARK SYSTEM

  

  This map is a redesign of a redesign. The original map it was created to replace felt a bit cluttered and took a lot of ink to print, so I wanted to make something that was clean and simple in comparison. The first iteration was one of the first big maps I made using ArcGIS […]
