Deforestation and Air Quality

This is my final project map. I was pleased with the way that it came out. Overall I had many issues with my data but I felt as though this poster represents the data and information I collected well. The data showed that while there is not a direct correlation on the data it is visually seen that canopy cover and air quality have a relationship. This being that areas with more canopy cover have a lower AQI. Throughout this year of GIS I have learned many valuable GIS techniques as well as learned how to budget time in order to finish a project within a time period.

I decided to use maps that captured New York with canopy cover and air quality. This will be the data that I will include on my final poster.

I decided to georeference the canopy data to the counties AQI data because I was unable to project this information.

Today I put the AQI data within ArcGis. I decided to use the coloring scale from green to red to show areas of high AQI as red and vice versa.

Today I decided to change my project from the entirety of the United States to just New York State. I also decided to compare my project from last semester to this semesters project. I have downloaded the data from NLCD and put it into ArcGIS.
