Cartography

Below are selected examples of cartographic and geospatial projects showcasing a range of GIS, spatial analysis, and Web GIS applications.

Web GIS Development

This example demonstrates an interactive web map developed to visualize spatial data dynamically. It demonstrates real-time data layers, user interaction, and spatial storytelling to support analysis and decision-making. Fully customized web maps can be developed for infrastructure planning, environmental monitoring, transportation systems, public information portals, and many other applications.

This interactive map demonstrates how spatial data can be presented through a web-based interface to improve accessibility and understanding. Users can zoom, explore locations, and interact with mapped features in real time. Such web mapping solutions are useful for visualizing infrastructure, environmental resources, service locations, transportation networks, and other spatial datasets for planning, analysis, and public information.

Spatial Modelling

Spatial modelling in GIS is a powerful tool for analyzing geographic data and identifying patterns across environmental and urban contexts.

Air Pollution Exposure

This map illustrates air pollution exposure across Central Nakuru County. The Central Nakuru CBD is highlighted in purple and red, indicating high pollutant concentrations due to dense urban activities and traffic emissions. Rural areas to the east in Nyandarua County are shown in yellow and green, reflecting lower pollution levels and cleaner air.

Remote Sensing

Remote Sensing and GIS techniques are used to monitor land cover changes, vegetation dynamics, urban expansion and environmental processes through satellite imagery analysis.

LiDAR Analysis

LiDAR Analysis

LiDAR provides highly detailed 3D information about terrain, buildings and vegetation structures. This allows accurate elevation modelling and environmental analysis.

Land Cover Change Detection

Change Detection

Change Detection Analysis

Change detection compares imagery from different years to quantify vegetation loss, regeneration, urban growth and land cover transitions. These methods support environmental monitoring, planning and sustainable resource management.

Spatial Risk Assessment

GIS-based risk assessment identifies hazard-prone areas and supports evidence-based planning through spatial analytics.

Accident Distribution Analysis
