Mapping Sand Along the Colorado River in Grand Canyon – 2009 - 2019 Main channel sand mapped with multibeam sonar Riparian sand mapped with total station Channel margin sand mapped with singlebeam sonar Upland sand mapped with remote sensing/field surveys Multibeam Sonar (Channel Bed) Singlebeam Sonar (Eddies) Total Station (Riparian) Remote Sensing/Field Surveys (Uplands)
25. Introductions… 1. Your name 2. Your major 3. Previous GIS experience 4. A landscape that has meaning to you (and why)
26. The reason you’re really here… How will my grade be determined? 70% is labs - Due weekly - Post these on a website you’ll create and maintain - Sometimes there will be additional written assignments to turn in via Canvas 15% is feedback to your colleagues - Post one of your maps each week on a Canvas discussion board - Provide valuable feedback to TWO of your classmates 15% is a final project - NOT an exam or a rote knowledge test - A chance for you to showcase your skills - Prompt assigned in our last class meeting, due on last day of finals

31. Mapping and Cartography We’re going to be doing a lot of map-making in this class. GIS makes it very easy to make maps. GIS also makes it very easy to make bad maps.

33. Mapping and Cartography We’re going to be doing a lot of map-making in this class. I almost required a different textbook. Let’s take some pointers from the Cat in the Hat. (and you thought this was an upper-level class, didn’t you?)
34. Every map has a purpose.
35. Every map uses a projection.
36. Every map uses a scale.
37. Every map uses a scale.
38. Every map uses symbology (and should contain a legend)
39. Every map uses symbology (and should contain a legend)
40. The Six C’s (to Earn Better than a C) A good map is… 1. COLORFUL: uses distinct colors to convey information effectively 2. CREATIVE: finds unique and interesting ways to convey information 3. CONSISTENT: fonts, labels, symbology aren’t a grab-bag of different styles 4. Has CONTEXT: provides broader location information (inset map), a title, descriptive text 5. CONVINCING: every map has a purpose – does yours meet that purpose? 6. CORRECT: typo-free, information is accurately displayed, legends correct, labels correct The maps you turn in will be graded using the six C’s!
41. For Wednesday’s Class…two things. Review pages 27–50 (especially if you haven’t taken GEOG 350) Read pages 51-59
42. For Wednesday’s Class…two things. Read the syllabus on Canvas!
