    1. ENV 201 GIS Lab 1
      \nEVN201\/202 met in the Spatial Analysis Lab for its second mapping session of the semester. This time we explored vector data with tools like Field Calculator, Buffer, and Erase. The students were tasked to create a convincing argument regarding local food access issues, and they all met the challenge with grace\u2026and only a few ArcMap\u00a0crashes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. ENV 311 Lying with Maps Lab
        \nThe ENV311 class returned to the SAL for a second round of ArcMap investigation. Students used data about Toxic Release Inventory sites in the Pioneer Valley to explore how the map can communicate many aspects of the content depending on the cartographer\u2019s decisions. Students found that simple things like changing symbology and classification or selecting by certain attributes can drastically alter the message. Hopefully we’ve helped to create some thoughtful mappers who have a new found respect for the ethics of mapping.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Bird Window Collisions Mapping Project
          \nA group of seniors in the ES&P capstone course (ENV312) are using GIS\u00a0to analyze and visualize parts of campus that are more and less dangerous to bird traffic. The project looks promising for humans and birds alike.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Halloween in the SAL
            \nFriday was a lively day in the Spatial Analysis Lab. There was a variety of students working on diverse\u00a0projects around the lab, and the mapping software\u00a0seemed to be on best behavior with very few shut-downs. Everything went so smoothly that it was almost\u2026spooky. \u00a0At the end of the day the faculty\/staff ultimate Frisbee pickup participated in its final outdoor game of the season, sigh. All adorned their Halloween costumes and hit the field! Picture below. Spatial Fellow, Victoria Beckley, can be seen in her brilliant \u201cblue-genes\u201d costume, that few guessed, but that took the win for the pickup costume contest!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
