QGIS Desktop GIS Projects
Documents a series of QGIS-based workflows focused on desktop GIS analysis, highlighting skills in data management, spatial analysis, and cartographic design using vector and raster data.
Lauren Bolton
GIS Technology & Environmental Health
I am a graduate student in Geographic Information Systems Technology at the University of Arizona. I currently serve as a Senior Environmental Supervisor with Boston Public Schools, managing environmental health and safety programs with a focus on indoor air quality. I am particularly interested in spatial analysis and its applications to real-world environmental challenges.
Skills
A toolkit built across GIS coursework, geospatial programming, and professional experience.
Projects
GIS and geospatial projects developed through my graduate studies at the University of Arizona, demonstrating skills in desktop GIS, spatial databases, Python geospatial analysis, and web mapping.
Python GIS & Containerization
Demonstrates Python-based geospatial data analysis using Pandas, GeoPandas, and Rasterio, with automated testing and reproducible workflows integrating tabular, vector, and raster data.
PostGIS Database Orchestration
Demonstrates spatial database workflows using PostgreSQL and PostGIS in a containerized environment, with SQL queries analyzing New York City demographic and spatial datasets.
OSM & PostGIS Spatial Analysis
End-to-end spatial analysis workflow integrating OpenStreetMap, PostGIS, and Python. Builds a reproducible function to load OSM data, execute SQL analysis, and interpret results via Jupyter Notebooks across Arizona and Massachusetts.
WebGIS & Full-Stack Orchestration
Demonstrates client-side web mapping using HTML, JavaScript, and Leaflet. Builds an interactive web map with GeoJSON data and deploys it using GitHub Pages.
