Intern

• Jun 2011 - Jan 2012

I spent the summer interning with members of the City of Huntsville, Alabama GIS department. My main duty involved using high-resolution aerial photos to digitize impervious features, or surfaces that don't allow water to infiltrate the ground. The purpose of the project was to update the city's basemaps and to use the impervious surface area features for flood modeling and for quantifying pollution arising from land use change. One of my duties during the basemap updates was to check for topology errors and correct any errors that occurred. I also had the opportunity to improve the accuracy of the locations of area restaurants by geocoding addresses their addresses to match the building footprints. This dataset was critical for an economic development project by the city that was geared at identifying food deserts or underserved areas. The data will also be used by the Water Pollution Control department on a web-editing application for mapping locations of grease traps. An additional task included digitizing easements, attribute sewer lines and manholes from engineering design drawings. Among others, locations of sewer infrastructure are useful for tracing sewer flow, sewer maintenance and for future developers to plan around existing sewer lines.During my internship I was exposed to ArcSDE and Geodatabases. I can add and create a Spatial Database Connection in order to connect to the SDE database in ArcCatalog. Additionally, I can edit, reconcile, and post SDE data.
