Wildfire Hazard Potential in National Parks and Monuments across the Western United States

This week I finished up my final poster that I will be turning in. I decided to do an introduction, methods, results, and suitability factors section. My method section describes exactly what I did to get my wildfire hazard potential raster. My results section shows a table that I made in Microsoft word to show the top five National Parks and Monuments with the greatest average wildfire hazard potential. These National Parks and Monuments include 1. Lake Mead 2. Castle Mountain 3.Tuzigoot 4. Channel Islands 5. Mojave. The suitability factors sections shows the three rasters that I reclassified. I then added these three rasters together to get my wildfire hazard potential raster. I also decided to add in some pictures of wildfires to fill in the blank spaces to make my poster look more complete. My last steps are to proofread my written sections and make sure that all my images and tables line up neatly and look professional. I am so happy this is finished and am proud of...

This week I completed my final raster showing wildfire hazard potential. The values range from 5, being the least suitable for a wildfire, to 27, being the most suitable for a wildfire. To do this, I used the raster calculator and added my average precipitation raster, average wind raster, and average temperature raster together. I also created a table based on wildfire hazard potential to show which National Parks and Monuments have the greatest values. I did this using the zonal statistics tool. On my final poster I will list the top 5 National Parks and Monuments that have the greatest wildfire hazard potential. I have also started to work on my final poster this week. This has been challenging because I have never made a poster on power point. I have been having trouble trying to figure out how to wrap the text around an image so my poster does not look blocky. In my next steps, I plan to finish my final poster and hand it in.
