This week's challenges

I've had a lot of work for other classes and am focusing on job apps, I intend to get working on Special Works next week.

dt-woods commented 3 years ago

Okay. Good luck at your job interviews.

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

Okay. Good luck at your job interviews.

Thanks! They were just applications, but I'm hoping to hear back!

Weekly Report 2021-02-28 (WEEK 5)

Streamlining this special report to just a few sections, I like it better this way.

Independent Work

Week 5 "Urban Thermal Taskforce" meeting, created Weebly website and made a general timeline of work on the project (30 min) Weekly engagement- made "Ethics Consideration" post, responded and read through all discussion topics (40 min) Started SW1 (10 min, see "This week's challenges") Geoethics lecture/slideshow (10 min) Examined what Google Takeout collects (5 min) Listened to a student podcast on Geoethics and Geofencing (8 min)

Projects

Consultancy formed, client meeting date chosen, web presence established with title/logo (website is very messy)

This week's challenges

Tried to start on SW1 but couldn't access climate data website. I didn't download my personal Google Takeout file because Google said it would take days.

dt-woods commented 3 years ago

For Google Takeout, just try accessing the mapped data.

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

Weekly Report 2021-03-07 (WEEK 6)

Independent Work

Week 6 Worked on client presentation on Google Slides, specifically analyzing the methods used in the heat island/redlining paper (30 min) Weekly engagement- made "methods" post, responded, read and reacted to all discussion topics, including past weeks discussions that were posted late (30 min) Made a weekly blog on the consultancy website updating our client presentation progress, cleaned up website a bit (10 min) Special Works 3 (see challenges)- Loaded Napa DEM into ArcPro, how do I pre-process the raster to ensure no "holes"? (10 min) Watched "time management" video (1 min)

Projects

Consultancy formed, client meeting date chosen, web presence established with title/logo (website is very messy). Working on weekly website updates

This week's challenges

Was very hesitant on posting geospatial method of the week compared to other posts because I have only taken Intro, and the methods shown on other weeks seemed very complex and intimidating! I am glad I was able to find something that seemed new and unique.

Confused on pre-processing the DEM, not sure if I learned that in Intro. I also only downloaded the watershed DEM, since they separated Napa County DEM's into watershed and nonwatershed. Should I download both?

Looking ahead at flow direction and flow accumulation for SW3, I am very interested in the process of how it is calculated, even if I was not extremely proficient with Arcade expressions in Intro.

dt-woods commented 3 years ago

@jacobgalla99, sorry I missed you in my zoom room today. How'd did the processing go?

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

Screenshot 2021-03-12 152907

I used the tool on the Napa DEM for Special Works 3. After many hours, it reached about 12% done, and then gave me the above error messages.

dt-woods commented 3 years ago

I see. By looking at the documentation, there are a lot of things to consider when running this tool. Some follow-ups:

  1. What coordinate system is your input raster in?
  2. What are the parameters you used for running this geoprocess (e.g., screenshot of the tool with your inputs)
jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

screen1

^Here were the parameters for running the tool. The coordinate system was NAD 1983 StatePlane California II FIPS 0402 (US Feet), which means I should project it, right?

Thanks for the help!

dt-woods commented 3 years ago

From the documentation:

It is recommended to have your data in a projected coordinate system with units of meters.

Therefore, the "US feet" may impose a problem.

Also, try simplifying the problem by changing the Time Configuration from Multiple Days to TimeWithinDay and choose a day of the year and start at 00:00 and end at 23:59.

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

Screenshot 2021-03-13 145102

I projected the layer to NAD 1927 California (Teale) Albers (Meters) and changed the time configuration to TimeWithinDay, but the process still came back with some errors, unfortunately.

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

Weekly Report 2021-03-14 (WEEK 7)

Independent Work

Week 7 Introductory client presentation almost ready to be recorded, presentation complete, group meeting (30 min) Weekly engagement- made "Question of the Week" post, responded, read and reacted to all discussion topics, including past weeks discussions that were posted late (30 min) Progress Report Meeting (30 min) Website work (10 min) Special Works 3 (30 min)

Projects

Consultancy formed, client meeting date chosen, web presence established with title/logo (website is very messy). Working on weekly website updates

This week's challenges

A lot of struggles with the solar radiation tool that I had to present for another class, luckily I was granted an extension to Wednesday.

dt-woods commented 3 years ago

Jake: this error message suggests that you are writing the output to a temp folder and that perhaps a file is open (already in use) or the folder permissions don't allow writing new files. If you haven't already, set up a new file geodatabase (FGDB), set it as your default FGDB in the environments and in the tool options be sure outputs are saving here. I've found that some ArcGIS tools work only when FGBDs are explicitly used.

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

Thank you for the suggestions, Professor! I set up a file geodatabase on my Desktop "Solar Radiation Tool" and ensured my output "SolarOutput" was saved there, but it unfortunately came back with the same errors. Then, I realized my ArcPro was still in Version 2.6 and not 2.7, so I updated it. The update seemed to freeze at a certain point, so I closed the installer in the middle of the update. I thought this was a problem, but ArcPro is in the latest version now!

Just ran it again, I have parameters set for "Time Within Day" from 0-24 hours and the raster data is projected in meters. Yet the program seems like it is still freezing for "calculating horizon and radiation". I was given an option to choose another tool for the presentation if this one didn't work out, and I am considering that.

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

I'm trying smaller and smaller resolutions, but the processing time is still taking very long.

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

Weekly Report 2021-03-21 (WEEK 8)

Independent Work

Week 8 Weekly engagement- responded, read and reacted to all discussion topics (15 min) Consultancy meeting (30 min) Data video/presentation, grabbing some landsat files to overlap with redlined areas (90 min) Website work (weekly blog, article link, youtube videos, headers, cleaned up) (40 min) Meeting w/ Professor Davis to help with geoprocess for another class, made a presentation around the geoprocess (60 min)

Projects

Consultancy formed, client meeting date chosen, web presence established with title/logo, 2/3 videos ready- all that's left is geoprocess video and some format of the progress report. I plan on making the website look much nicer, with official profiles/bios like the other sites.

This week's challenges

After client meeting Wednesday, need to get back into Special Works to select which projects should not be on the final. I'm going to need quite a few landsat files for all the cities, and I'm not very clear on transforming the data to Land Surface Temp data.

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

Weekly Report 2021-03-28 (WEEK 9)

Independent Work

Week 9 Weekly engagement- responded, read, or reacted to all discussion topics (15 min) Progress Report (website, rehearsing, videos) (150 min) Client meeting and following write up on performance accomplishments (35 min)

Projects

Consultancy meeting is done! Onto finishing my checklist and working on special works. I also finished an NDVI presentation for my Conservation GIS class!

This week's challenges

The client meeting went VERY smoothly, not many challenges! The rush to prepare a good progress report was a little stressful.

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

Weekly Report 2021-04-04 (WEEK 10)

Independent Work

Week 10 Weekly engagement- responded, read, or reacted to all discussion topics [except performance accomplishments one, I want to take some time later this week to have that well-composed] (15 min)

Projects

I plan on doing my podcast with my consultancy group soon! I also gave a group presentation on NDVI and carrying capacity in the American Prairie Reserve for my Conservation GIS class.

This week's challenges

I got the least work done this week in this course all semester. Some of that was procrastination, but I also had a tough midterm and assignments for other classes. I definitely intend to work on the checklist and special works this week.

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

Weekly Report 2021-04-11 (WEEK 11)

Independent Work

Week 11 Weekly engagement- responded, read, or reacted to all discussion topics (15 min) Read metadata intro (2 min) Watched "Intro to Notebooks" (16 min) Completed "Intro to Notebooks" and "Python Fundamentals" (45 min) Special Works 4, addresses are in text file (15 min)

Thanks for helping me access the data for SW6, going to focus my efforts on that one this week.

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

Weekly Report 2021-04-18 (WEEK 12)

Independent Work

Week 12 Weekly engagement- responded, read, or reacted to all discussion topics (15 min) More Python Fundamentals notebook (30 min)

Projects

Working through notebooks, Special Works efforts are coming later in the month.

This week's challenges

I really struggled having time for anything this week. I went out of town this weekend, had to finish a 2000-word research paper, conduct many interviews for independent research, and worked on more job applications. Luckily, this is the only class I have left with substantial assignments/work I need to finish, so I can direct all my energy towards that in the coming weeks.

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

Weekly Report 2021-04-25 (WEEK 13)

Independent Work

Week 13 Weekly engagement- responded, read, or reacted to all discussion topics (15 minutes) Special Works 1 (90 minutes) Special Works 3 (30 minutes) Watched "Sharing on ArcGIS Online" and "Introduction to Programming" Videos (30 minutes)

Total time: 2 hours, 45 min

Projects

Plan on making my video tutorial on Special Works 1. Going well, but got stuck on an attribute join. Followed most of the steps for watershed delineation on SW3 and completed some of the steps but went back to fill any potential holes, and the program wouldn't let me. I plan on coming to office hours tomorrow.

This week's challenges

I got sick this week, and I am still looking for jobs, which restricts time I have for classes. Still, this is the class I intend to focus my energy the most on for the rest of the year, as I don't have many assignments in my other classes.

jacobgalla99 commented 3 years ago

arcpy.CalculateStatistics_management(rast_file) always crashes/freezes the kernel and it just never runs.

dt-woods commented 3 years ago

It took a couple of minutes, but it finished. Try restarting the kernel and clearing all output, and going through again from the top.

Weekly Report 2021-05-09 (WEEK 15)

Independent Work

Week 15 Completed Course Evaluation (15 minutes) Graphical Models Tutorial (26 minutes [sped up]) Special Works 3 (60 minutes) Prof Davis meeting (15 minutes) Organized my AGOL Content and wrote about metadata in Performance Accomplishments (160 minutes) Created file geodatabase for organizing datasets (5 minutes). SW1, made the symbology and exported to layer file. (40 minutes) SW2 (300 minutes) Finished Geoethics Podcast Script and Podcast (30 minutes) Made SW4 Demo Video and Documentation (280 minutes) Finished SW3, successful ModelBuilder run (50 minutes)

Projects

Special Works 2 is all that is left! I finished almost up to intermediate solution, but calculated my seasonal averages incorrectly. I do need help putting the calculate area formula into ModelBuilder for SW3, but that's the very last step. Finish performance accomplishments, left to do questions 1 and 2 mainly.

"Geoprocessing with ArcPy" notebook, may just skip this if I can check off 95% of the checklist.

This week's challenges

Getting my vaccine on Tuesday, hopefully I'll feel fine for finishing Performance Accomplishments and re-doing SW2.
