Completed Summer 2024
Completed with QGIS, GeoNode, GeoStory, and Canva
During summer 2024, I did an internship through the Resilient Urban Latin America (RULA) - International Research Experience for Students (IRES) in Mérida, Mexico. Working with local scientists, students, government officials, and locals, my cohort and I did research on how flooding affects residents and the effectiveness of nature-based solutions in mitigating that flooding. Located within the Yucatán Peninsula and built on top of Karstic limestone topography, Mérida is a city hit hard with climate change. A city of concrete, floods are common place and temperatures soar during the summer. Implementing nature-based solutions can help!
My cohort and I wanted to share our results with Mérida’s public and all the locals that we worked with, so we made a Geostory through Geonode to summarize our work that summer. Similar to an ArcGIS story map, you can interact with the maps on the Geostory and scroll through different sections of our summer work.
