Environmental data, watershed context, and interactive monitoring tools.
I build geospatial tools and applied research products that help translate complex water-quality and watershed data into usable maps for monitoring, planning, and public communication.
Current focus
Watershed mapping, environmental monitoring systems, and geospatial products that support fieldwork and interpretation.
Site purpose
roberthowe.org can act as a portfolio hub for research, maps, remote sensing work, and public-facing environmental tools.
Featured project
The embedded map below is framed as a watershed monitoring interface, with stations, hydrologic references, and watershed overlays.
Project context
This section explains what the embedded map is showing before users jump into the interface.
Watershed focus
This map centers on the Neversink and Basha Kill watershed area and visualizes watershed boundaries alongside field and agency reference points.
Monitoring layers
The attached map includes monitoring stations, USGS station markers, and additional hydrologic context through selectable basemaps and overlays.
Use case
The interface works well as a public-facing research map, a watershed communication tool, or a project portfolio example for environmental GIS work.
Featured map
Explore stations, watershed boundaries, and hydrologic layers in the interactive viewer below.
What users can explore
- Monitoring stations positioned along the watershed network.
- Watershed polygons and labels for the Neversink and Basha Kill areas.
- Multiple basemaps, including topo, imagery, and orthophoto options.
- Agency-linked stations and site popups for added reference.
Data sources
Station data draws from Monitor My Watershed, USGS gauges, and NOAA river forecast points across the Neversink and Basha Kill corridor.
