Critical Watersheds in the Cordilleras

As part of an academic activity in my course "GEOG 124: Geographic Information Systems for Human Geographic Research" specifically our Exercise 3 Output, is a relief map of the critical watersheds of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) in the Philippines.

  • Familiarizing and learning Digital Elevation Models (DEM) from SRTM 4.1

  • Manipulating Hillshade Relief Maps to accentuate height

  • Overlapping layers to add more dimension and depth to the DEM and improve the preciseness of spatial analysis.

  • Using Administrative Boundary Layers from Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) of UN-OCHA

  • Exploring the Print Composer with guidance from basic cartographic principles and knowledge.
