Comprehensive data visualization dashboard analyzing 1.8M+ significant military activities in Iraq (2003-2011) and Afghanistan (2008-2014). This project was designed to map events accurately in time and space to enable veterans and support networks to contextualize traumatic events by allowing the veteran to view events from a geospatial lens. Features interactive geographic mapping with heatmap visualization, temporal analysis showing daily incident patterns, and statistical breakdowns by incident type and category. Built with server-side architecture for efficient data processing and responsive client-side rendering.

Technologies: Node.js/Express, JavaScript, Leaflet.js, ApexCharts, REST APIs

Highlights: Server-side data processing, multi-chart dashboard, temporal heatmaps, responsive design

Course instructor: Dr. André Skupin, GEOG 581, SDSU Geography

Final academic poster for GEOG 401 Geomorphology, documenting field surveys across three SDSU campus sites: Alvarado Creek stream discharge, UAV-derived SfM photogrammetry of the Aquaplex Canyon erosional scarp, and northwest campus hillslope mass wasting assessment. Synthesizes LiDAR, drone photogrammetry, and 3D valley volume modeling into a single formal deliverable.

Technologies: ArcGIS Pro, Agisoft Metashape, R (terra, sf, rgl), UAV SfM

Highlights: Three integrated field methods, 191,139 m³ volume estimate, GEOG 401 final deliverable

Course instructor: Dr. Justin Bissell, GEOG 401 Geomorphology, SDSU Geography

Geomorphic analysis of Aquaplex Canyon at San Diego State University using 1-meter USGS LiDAR-derived DEM data and UAV photogrammetry. The project quantifies valley volume through a custom east-west reference surface model, drapes a hillshade over an interactive 3D terrain visualization, and documents the canyon's erosional history and sediment dynamics.

Technologies: R (terra, sf, rgl), ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS StoryMaps, UAV Photogrammetry

Highlights: 191,139 m³ valley volume estimate, interactive 3D wireframe, LiDAR analysis
