Stock Market Crash, The Musical
Not quite a musical, but an animated graph with a soundtrack showing the circa-2009 dip of the NASDAQ, S&P 500, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The data was publicly available, via the internet (although I don't recall the exact sources, as I did this a while ago).
Population Model
I instruct an environmental science survey course that includes an introduction to human population growth. We covered age structure diagrams, but I wanted to see how these diagrams would change over time.
Sudoku Solver
One of my first extended efforts using arrays was a program to solve Sudoku puzzles. You can download the Sudoku Solver, which is a VBA enabled Excel spreadsheet, from my google site here.
Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) Animation
This animation shows velocity vectors recorded by a side-looking Acoustic Current Doppler Profiler (ADCP) deployed by NOAA in the Delaware River near Philadelphia, PA.

Again, this was developed using VBA for Excel.
Animated map dots - USGS gages responding to flooding
Also from Sandy, here is an animated map that shows USGS gages responding to the streamflow as the the storm moved through the Delaware River Basin. The VBA Excel code retrieves the data, processes it to compute discharge per drainage area (CFS/mi2), and formats for ARC-GIS.
Hurricane Sandy Water Surface Elevations in Delaware Estuary
Here is one of my most recent animated graphs.
This one shows an animated graph of predicted versus observed water surface elevations in the Delaware Estuary as a result of Hurricane Sandy storm surge. Water surface elevation data is from the NOAA PORTS system. Hurricane path data is from NOAA.
Howdy
Over the past few years, I've really come to love data. In this blog, I'll share some of the data assessment activities that I've been involved in, both professionally and as a hobby. I'll share both the results (videos, images, whatnot) and some of the files and code behind the assessments.
