Ontario’s Future with the Emerald Ash Borer

Abstract

A professional research poster submitted for a GIS Day competition at the University of Ottawa. ArcGIS software was used to map the current range of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) in Ontario, as well as its future ranges following natural dispersal (at 3 km/year) and human-aided dispersal. The project was awarded gold in Outstanding Poster and Geo-Factor Aspect, silver in Visualization Aspect, and bronze in Quantitative Aspect.
