Well, I technically am a physics major, you see. I loved looking at itty bitty teeny tiny little things. Now I've started looking at big huge gigantic things. The Earth for example... This page shows a bit of the things I've done so far to satisfy my interest in Geography...

The Dartmouth College Department of Geography

My experiences to date...

• Geography 3 - Introduction to Physical Geography (Laura Conkey)
  • A project on El Niño
• Geography 43 - Cartography (Daniel Karnes)
  • In November '96, we had an assignment due where we had to find a really bad map and critique it. The class decided that this map was the worst one they'd seen. What do you think?
  • My final project in December '96 involved creating two thematic maps (Income and Density by Ward in Toronto) and writing a short paper on it. It involved selecting a topic, researching the data, digitizing the map, selecting the display format and creating the map. Available in MapInfo for Macintosh format.
• Geography 45 - Remote Sensing (Richard Birnie, Daniel Karnes)
• The Hood Museum of Art
  • In January '97 I was hired by the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College to create a map for an exhibit. - My first real cartography job! After several iterations, here is the final product - Available also in Canvas for Macintosh format.
• Geography 48 - Principles of G.I.S. (Daniel Karnes)
  • Exercise 1
  • Exercise 2
  • Exercise 3
  • Exercise 4
