Digital media: ArcGIS StoryMap
Description: This project applies a disparity-oriented focus to promote human-centered solutions to smart city planning efforts. For five metropolitan areas (San Jose, Miami, New York, Denver, and Seattle) we explored three smart city domains (socioeconomics, public transit access, and digital divide), identified candidate indicators for each domain using publicly available data, and mapped composite measures generated using principal components analysis. The study identifies areas that may be most and least likely to benefit from smart city investments. Reorienting solutions can ultimately increase community equity and engagement in urban life.

Description: This storymap explores the life and legacy of Sofía Ímber Barú, a Venezuelan cultural figure who was a journalist, art critic, and museum curator. Ímber was the founder of the Contemporary Art Museum of Caracas, which she led for almost 30 years. Ímber's personal archive is located in Venezuela and is currently being digitized in a post custodial initiative undertaken by the University of Miami Libraries. A SubjectsPlus guide accompanies the StoryMap https://sp.library.miami.edu/subjects/guide.php?subject=SofiaImber.

Digital media: ArcGIS StoryMap
Description: This project assesses the smartness of a city utilizing existing data on set indicators (Safety, Mobility, Access, Residency, and Technology). For five metropolitan statistical areas (San Francisco-Oakland, New York City, and Miami), we explored these indicators using publicly available data and mapped median household income to create a bivariate visualization. The study attempts to identify whether the indicators are spread throughout the region in an equitable manner by analyzing the distribution of capital. We would also to acknowledge that this project was a result of our GIS 1 Class (GEG 310).

Digital media: PDF Poster.
Description: Disasters and emergencies have been increasing all over the world. The importance of the technical and scientific communities in providing general people with proper information against the consequences of natural disasters has come under more attention in recent years. Thanks to technology innovation, tools like Geographic information systems (GIS) can assist us in reducing impacts and identifying high-risk locations. The goal of this study was to use a GIS-based methodology to identify high risk locations for flooding and landslides in Puerto Rico and, with the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), evaluate the impact before and after a hurricane.
Visit website:
Digital media: PDF Poster.
Description: When managing risk in disaster impacted areas, controlling both the upside and downside risk is desirable. Using the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping tool, we can identify and quantify the land-based temperature changes in a post hurricane impacted area. For this study, identifying the temperature changes after Hurricane Ian can provide an insight and potential time window for shifts in rescue operations tempo for emergency first responders, citizens, and community leaders. Data were obtained from Ft. Myers Airport weather stations.

When you are starting on a spatial project located in Florida you should start with this portal. This will save you time and effort as most of the other Florida resources we have listed for you on this page can be searched through this site.
FGDL is a mechanism for distributing spatial (GIS) data throughout the state of Florida. The FGDL is warehoused and maintained at the University of Florida's GeoPlan Center.
It is a links list, and is constantly updating.
- LABINS Main Page (DOQQ, High-Resolution Imagery, DRG, etc)
- LABINS County Data
- Florida Geospatial Metadata Index
University of Florida Digital Collections (George A Smathers Libraries)
The University of Florida Map & Digital Imagery Library houses the largest and most complete collection of Florida aerial photographs (~160,000 photos) outside of the National Archives.
The links in this guide are for your convenience. All of this data is available through the FGDL link available on the top left of this page. This FGDL is the geoportal you should be using if your study falls within Florida. However, we know you may want to see the data in the context of the government entity that is providing the data and that is what this list is for. As these governments agencies are currently migrating their GIS data to FGDL the links on their own pages will go dead. We will update links as we find them or you may report them to gislib@miami.edu. Thank you for understanding this guide is currently dynamic. *UPDATED 12/15/13*

The National Historical Geographic Information System (NHGIS) provides, free of charge, aggregate census data and GIS-compatible boundary files for the United States between 1790 and 2012.GIS Data Workshops are intended to introduce or improve one’s knowledge of the process of performing spatial analysis using Geographic Information Systems software as a tool. As UM has a site license for ArcGIS software, it is the main software used to teach spatial analysis for this workshop series.
Workshops typically consist of two-hour sessions that take a sample research topic/question and walks through how to acquire, convert, analyze, and display spatial data related to the topic. The aim of these workshops is learning through problem-solving.
These workshops are not intended to be comprehensive in nature nor intended to replace or substitute any GIS courses offered at UM. They introduce the GIS resources offered by the Library which include one-on-one GIS consultations, additional training online, and GIS data acquisition/access.
Workshops labeled Open Workshop are part of the Utilizing GIS Data Workshop series. Workshops labeled with course numbers are specifically for that course as a course support/augmented workshop.
