This lab introduces you to Maps, GIS, Map Projections, and Geography on the Web. It will guide you through various different types of online interfaces used by many Geographers. This lab will also guide you through Examples of Remote Sensing and the imagery produced by the satellites. You will learn how to calculate Latitude and Longitude for various different locations and be able to see them visually. Lastly, you will have a visual representation of various wavelengths with a depiction of San Francisco.

Part 1: Industries Using Geospatial Technology

Geospatial technology is being used in a variety of applications in various different fields today. Go onto: www.esri.com/industries (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. this site provides you with a list of a numerous amount of different fields that are using geospatial technology today and it also describes how GIS is being utilized. Examine a few that are connected to law enforcement & some that are connected to “Natural Resources”

Answer the following questions.

1. How is GIS being utilized in some real-world, on-the-job applications in the fields of public safety & the environment?

2. Who in these fields is using GIS & Why?

Part 2: The Geographic Coordinate System

Another key element of representing data on the map is the coordinate system. The coordinate system relates every location on the map to a location on the earth through a defined system. This is also called georeferencing. One major type of georeferencing is latitude and longitude, which divides the earth into a grid-like coordinate system.

Latitude

Latitude lines are parallel to the earth’s equator. Latitude lines run from 90ºN at the north pole to 0º (the equator) to 90ºS at the south pole. Lines of latitude are noted as being either NORTH, or SOUTH, meaning north or south of the equator. So, for example, the Longitude lines are equidistant lines (they are all the same length) that run from the north pole to the south pole.

Longitude

Longitude lines run from 180ºE to 0º (at the prime meridian which runs through Greenwich, England) to 180ºW. Lines of longitude are expressed as being either EAST or WEST, meaning east or west of the prime meridian. The international date line is located where 180ºW meets 180ºE.

How we divide latitude and longitude

Latitude and longitude lines are expressed in degrees ( º ), minutes ( ‘ ) and seconds ( ” ) with a directional notation (N, S, E or W). Minutes and seconds run from 0 to 60 (e.g. 60 seconds equals one minute, 60 minutes equals one degree). For example, something that was 120 degrees, 10 minutes and 30 seconds west longitude would be denoted 120º10’30″W. The ‘squares’ defined by latitude and longitude are really not squares at all because they are on the spherical earth (though they look like squares on a flat map!).

For example, California is approximately between 30 and 40 degrees north latitude. The vertical lines are lines of longitude. You can read the degrees of longitude along the middle of the earth. For example, California is between 120 and 130 degrees west longitude.

Latitude and longitude can also be expressed in decimal degrees. With decimal degrees, the entire location is compressed into a single number. So, just as 2 1/2 can also be expressed as 2.5, 37° 21′ 45.2082″N and 122° 7′ 42.5172″W can be expressed as 37.362558, -122.128477. Note that in the system of decimal degrees, we have lost the letter designations of N,S,E,W. Instead, latitude in the northern hemisphere is a positive value, latitude in the southern hemisphere is a negative value. A longitude in the eastern hemisphere is a positive value, a longitude in the western hemisphere is a negative value.

Part 3: Examining the Effects of Different Map Projections

Various map projections misrepresent Earth in different ways, with each projection distorting certain features and representing other features accurately. We will examine visually what the various different types of projections look like.

Go to: https://indiemapper.io/app/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Then select data library on the right-hand side and then select open, then on the new screen in section 1 select ‘One Attribute’, in section 2 select ‘people’, in section 3 select ‘choropleth’, in section 4 select ‘no’ and then click ‘Ok’

You will see that a map was generated, you can then go in and change the color sequences on the bottom left-hand corner. Now on the upper right-hand corner of your screen, you will see a tab that says ‘projections’ click on the tab. Click on the ‘Mercator Projection’ and then hit ‘apply’.

Peter Stockmann (the Doctor’s elder brother), Mayor of the

Town and Chief Constable, Chairman of the Baths’ Committee, etc.

Peter Stockmann. It looks very promising. Inquiries about apartments and that sort of thing are reaching us, every day.

Hovstad. Well, the doctor’s article will come in very suitably.

Peter Stockmann. Has he been writing something just lately?

Hovstad. This is something he wrote in the winter; a recommendation of the Baths—an account of the excellent sanitary conditions here. But I held the article over, temporarily.

Peter Stockmann. Ah,—some little difficulty about it, I suppose?

Hovstad. No, not at all; I thought it would be better to wait until the spring, because it is just at this time that people begin to think seriously about their summer quarters.

Peter Stockmann. Quite right; you were perfectly right, Mr. Hovstad.

Hovstad. Yes, Thomas is really indefatigable when it is a question of the Baths.

Peter Stockmann. Well remember, he is the Medical Officer to the Baths.

Essay 4: Argument/Persuasive Assignment

Objective:

Write an essay that effectively argues your position on the prompt and presents evidence from the texts as support. Evaluate and utilize outside sources, effective quoting and clear analysis. Use and apply rhetorical strategies learned in your own argument.

Required Research/Readings:

This essay will require a minimum of four (4) outside sources, which you will need to find. These source need to be reliable, credible and correctly cited in MLA. You need to introduce these sources as you use them in the essay and correctly cite them in a Works Cited page.

Length: 6-7 pages (not including Works Cited)

Background: If you have ever had to convince your parents to let you borrow the car or stay out late, or convince a friend or a partner that you should get pizza tonight and not sushi, you have (possibly subconsciously) used argumentative/persuasion tactics to convince the other person to agree with you. One of the greatest tools that we have as writers is the power to persuade others, a skill that will be useful to you far beyond English class.

The main purpose of an argument/persuasive essay is to convince your audience to take your side on an issue by presenting a logical idea and supporting it with specific and appropriate researched evidence.

Prompt:

For this assignment, you will develop an argumentative essay that establishes a clear claim, supports it with researched sources and refutes at least one counter argument.

You will have two options:

• Choose a controversial local (San Diego County) issue and argue in favor of one side.
• Choose a California based educational issue.These issues can deal with budgets, student populations, classroom practices or anything else that impacts education in statewide California classrooms.

Previous topics have included issues such as:

What should be done with Children’s Pool in La Jolla?

Should a new Chargers stadium be built? (over now)

How should the pollution in San Diego be controlled?

Should there be a casino in Jamul? (over now)

• When choosing a topic for this option, a good idea would be to turn on your local nightly news or open the newspaper to the local news section.
• With either option, you must argue for a specific course of action, meaning you shouldn’t only say it is a problem. You should argue what we should do about it/what changes should be made.
• Your essay must also include a minimum of four (4) reliable scholarly sources used with proper MLA citation and a Works Cited page.
• Your essay should consider and refute at least one counter argument. You can address the counter argument anywhere in the essay. Remember to present a possible counter and respond to it with a logical refutation.
