The spring 2023 semester at UWF has been an eventful one in which I finalized the requirements for my bachelors of science in natural science. Two courses that I have taken this semester have been Community Engagement (EVR4039) & Coastal Morphology (GEO4221). While these two courses were not necessarily GIS courses they both incorporated themes and elements that definitely resonated with GIS. In Community Engagement we developed and distributed a community awareness survey involving streambank erosion through a web-based survey platform known as Qualtrics. The goal of the survey was to assess Escambia county resident's knowledge and awareness on a number of topics involving streambank erosion in hopes to establish a framework for future decision and policy makers in implementing future streambank erosion prevention strategies. We presented our survey project as a poster presentation at the student scholar symposium and were awarded the Best Research (with faculty) Project award at the High-Impact Practice Faculty showcase.
For my final project in Coastal Morphology I wrote a literature review that covered the progression of GIS in the field of coastal morphology. The paper covered predecessors to GIS, it's inception, present applications and trends, and future predictions.
