Day 27: July 10, 2013

I spent most of the morning working on the analysis of the PHMSA Hazardous Materials release incident database. The location of some of the accidents as well as a couple other values were not recorded properly so I had to fixed them. This was a very tedious process. However, once I was done, I managed to located geographically each accident in ArcMap. FIG9 shows the location of every U.S. crude oil transported by rail release incident from 1971 to May 2013. This figure will be included in my second ppt.

On the afternoon I worked on the second presentation. I added some new slides that give a brief overview about the different crude oil release incidents that have occured in the past 40 years. Tomorrow I will start working in the new module.
