This is an isarithmic map that represents the range of barometric pressure in the United States.


This is a choropleth map representing population density across the earth.





Below is an isarithmic map I made representing average annual rainfall in the state of Georgia.


Below is a picture from Google Earth of my hometown, Martinez, GA. My place mark is my house. My path is my 2 mile commute to the river. And the polygon is Savannah Rapids Pavillion and canal where I love to spend my free time when the weather is nice!

The Mercer Bear


I guess it would be appropriate to be interested in the animal that is our University's mascot. The black bear is the most common bear found in North America. Even though they are named "black" bears they can be all sorts of colors, including brown, bluish gray, or even white! They grow to be up to 6 feet tall and 600 pounds.  Their diet consists of grasses, insects, berries, fish, small mammals, and of course, human food found at campsites.
