Yanli Zhang- North Texas Municipal Water District Stephen F Austin State University Spatial analysis of microplastic pollution in the soils in Nacogdoches County, Texas
Microplastics have been defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm and a literature review shows that microplastic can be found in all environmental compartments. So far, most related researches focused on microplastic distribution in water and aquatic organisms. The distribution of microplastic in soils is also an important aspect as most microplastics particles start from the land. Based on thorough literature review, several spatial factors that impact the distribution of microplastic have been identified and a weighted overlay analysis was done to show the spatial distribution of this pollution in Nacogdoches County, TX. One of the primary goals of this pilot study was to inform the public and environmental professionals to pay more attention to this wide spread pollution issue and find ways to lessen the occurrence of microplastics in our environment. | Lance Yarema - City of Tyler Tyler Parks This map depicts all current parks with their respected features and their relative land area for comparison.
| Perla Diaz - Harris County Public Health Experience Builder Maps are essential for public health decision-making, revealing spatial trends. However, static maps can be inefficient and struggle to accommodate dynamic data needs. Harris County Public Health (HCPH) faced the challenge of mapping chronic disease prevalence across local areas, which would have required 70+ static maps. Instead, the data team developed an interactive dashboard using Esri’s Experience Builder, allowing stakeholders to explore multiple health indicators in real time. The dashboard consolidates data from sources like CDC PLACES and the Texas Cancer Registry, offering zooming, toggleable layers, and pop-ups to uncover trends and prioritize outreach. This tool improves efficiency, reduces redundancy, and enhances data accessibility, strengthening decision-making and enabling more effective public health interventions. https://hcphgis.hctx.net/portal/apps/experiencebuilder/experience/?id=6d1520536f964d69b80233e3beccdb26

Zach Meyers - Duplantis Design Group Wetland Delineation Map Products Wetland delineations are one of the most common jobs assigned to DDG's Environmental and Regulatory unit, and involve characterizing, identifying and mapping weland habitats to quantify the environmental impacts of a potential development project. The field scientists use a Survey123 form developed by DDG to collect data on-site in the form of sample points, flagging points, and photo points. This data is then provided to the GIS Analyst who visualizes it in the form of a map series. These maps go into a report that is provided to various regulatory agencies for jurisdictional determination of wetlands and other waters on-site.
| Charlotte Stockard - City of Frisco Experience Builder Parks, Trails, and Facilities
Play Frisco wanted an interactive parks app that showed amenities and park information. A new layer was created to show the park amenities, and it was linked to the park layer to filter both layers together. When you select a park from the list, the sidebar will open with more information and the full list of amenities at that park. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/bf261897d5c24441bfb9ec5c3e347b8f
