Summary
The main objectives of these tasks were to become familiar with the ArcGIS Pro tools for a dredging operation and mound volumes. The most difficult learning curve by far was diving into the software and understanding how to better leverage it to create more compelling deliverables! (Definitely seems like that’s been the case for everyone assignment) This should be the case though because if that’s not the case then you’re content with your work and there's no growth. To list a few of the drawings depicted below, as shown in Fig. 1, this covers the displaying Upper Slopes with a Slope of >30degrees. Basically, what we did was we brought in the inputted certain calculations that isolated the precise values we were looking for. For Fig.2 this displays water collection areas between elevations of 233m-234m. The learning curve for this assignment was definitely learning how to create all the deliverables to a certain extent because the tools were sort of unfamiliar to me and it’s something that I feel could definitely be over thought. The important thing to do in this situation is to take the simplest approach by focusing on what is actually being testing for and what information you’re trying to convey. Overall, this was a really good opportunity to further become well versed within ArcGIS Pro and continue to hone our skills for future career opportunities!
