    University of California, Santa Barbara

    Acknowledgements: Catherine Gautier, Indy Hurt, and Amanda Henley

    Course Description: Oil and water are two key strategic resources dominating the international scene. Using ArcGIS, this project provides an overview of global distributions of oil and water resources and analyzes some of the social, economic, and geopolitical ramifications of these distributions.

    Determining spatial usage of the West Nile virus using surveillance data

    Josh Bader
    Department of Geography
    University of California, Santa Barbara

    Knowing the distribution of West Nile Virus (WNV) can help direct mosquito control efforts and alert the public to high-risk areas, and thus has public health significance. What is needed then is a reliable method of using surveillance data to predict the locations of WNV activity. The purpose of this research is to answer three questions: How can the range of WNV be defined in terms of surveillance data and ancillary environmental variables? What methods are best suited for the spatial analysis of WNV surveillance data? How can additional sampling be directed so as to best improve the predicted distribution.
