Development of the SpARC LabDevelopment of the SpARC Lab
• Built by Robert Czerniak over a 20 year period with little central admin. support
• Earlier version was the Geographical Analysis and Research lab (GARL)
• Developed through series of funded projects at local, state and regional level
• More recent projects include larger regional scale and federally funded work
CapabilitiesCapabilities
• 11 high performance PC workstations• Ability to have 15+ workers• Server Capacity - 675 Gb can be upgraded to 2 Terabytes• 2 large format digitizing tablets• 32” Plasma monitor for image processing work• Software:
– Entire suit of ESRI GIS software– Erdas Imagine 8.7– eCognition– TransCAD
• GPS– 6 Geoexplorers– Supporting software
• HP 1055 large format plotter• Secondary teaching facility with 20 PC workstations
Current ProjectsCurrent Projects• Binational Transportation GIS Study - Federal
Highway Administration/NMDOT & Mexico’s SCT• Transportation planning and modeling - El Paso
Metropolitan Planning Organization• Water resource vulnerability - Southwest
Consortium for Environmental Research & Policy • Colonias project – US HUD• Coordinated Water Resources Database Project -
Paso del Norte Watershed Council• County level cadastral mapping – Numerous New
Mexico Counties
• Collaborative project with Secretaria de Communicacion y Transporte (SCT)
• Goal is to merge US and Mexican GIS transportation data into seamless DB
• Progress to date includes land use mapping, linear referencing of roads, and serving GIS data on the web
• Future work will examine future infrastructure plans and security, safety, and environmental data

Simulation model for integrated planning and analysis of urban development, incorporating the interactions between land use, transportation, and public policy.
Interfaces existing travel models with new land use forecasting and analysis capabilities.
SCERP ProjectSCERP Project
• Water resource vulnerability study in the Paso del Norte region, 2003 – present
• Goal is to generate seamless water resource DB for the Paso del Norte region
• Then advance GIS based vulnerability analysis of regional water resources
• Collaborative effort with SDSU/COLEF in California/Baja & UACJ in Paso del Norte
• Outcome will also include serving binational data archive on the Web – linking to future SCERP work

Colonias in Texas, New Mexico, and ArizonaColonias in Texas, New Mexico, and ArizonaEconomic and Business DevelopmentEconomic and Business Development
• US HUD funded NMSU to conduct survey of Colonias with active GIS component
• Project also funded Dave Hohstadt’s thesis work on economic development– Initial step was development of a typology of
colonias– Next step was to explore economic
development models for colonias– Results of work paired specific models of
development with colonias, based on typology

Paso del Norte Watershed Council Paso del Norte Watershed Council Coordinated Database ProjectCoordinated Database Project
• Long term discussions within and regional stakeholders on utility of a database
• Idea initially advanced by Conrad Keyes as a contract to El Paso Water Utilities and New Mexico Texas Water Commission
• Watershed Council formally proposed this concept to El Paso Water Utilities in 2002
• EPWU funded Phase I – NMSU developed project prototype completed in fall 2003
Objectives of DB ProjectObjectives of DB Project
• Historically, large numbers of agencies collected wide range of water resource data
• Access to data lacked much coordination • Goal of the PdNWC project is to provide
coordinated access to wide range of data via web-based access and GIS interface– Project facilitates greater sharing of data among both
providers and end users– Overall goal is to enhance water resource
management via regional approach in the PdN region
NM County Cadastral MappingNM County Cadastral Mapping
• In 1999 a new state statute was released mandating GIS-based cadastral mapping– New Mexico Statutes Annotated (NMSA) 3.6.7.17.9. – States "Every County shall have a digitized set of
maps . . . “
• Property Tax Division contacted NMSU Geography Department to assist the counties in this undertaking.
• In the last 5 plus years, NMSU has done GIS-based cadastral mapping for numerous NM counties.
NM County Cadastral MappingNM County Cadastral Mapping
Completed Projects:• Torrance County• DeBaca County• Lea County• Hidalgo County• Grant County
Current /Pending Projects:• San Miguel County• Taos County
• Valencia County• Mora County• Colfax County• Taos County
• Cibola County
NM County Cadastral MappingNM County Cadastral Mapping
• Process – – Meet with county personnel to discuss their needs and
current mapping status– Locate any existing digital data to help the conversion
process.• PLSS• E-911• Aerial Photography • Existing digital parcel data (internal and external county
data)– Digitize mylar maps– Adjust to imagery– Assign Uniform Property Code (from maps)– Assist counties with linking their GIS to the main database
ImpedimentsImpediments
• Not all UPC (unique IDs) are shown on maps.– Solution = County personnel need to update
maps before shipment– Alternate idea is to edit/update the digital data
upon completion.
• Mylar maps are unreadable or missing data. – Solution = work with County personnel to
provide other ancillary data or new maps
ImpedimentsImpediments
• Drafted mylars are not spatially accurate– Solution = Spatially adjust parcels to other
registered data layers:• e-911 road data, • PLSS, • DOQQ or higher resolution imagery.
Future GIS WorkFuture GIS Work
• SCERP project for binational GIS (see next map)– Builds on earlier binational projects (SCERP,
USDOT/SCT, and others)– Goal is prototype network with existing nodes & longer
term work plan for more robust network
• Continued efforts on Paso del Norte Watershed Council Project– Linking USACE and FBOR funds to explore more
automated data transfer– Identifying and including new sources of water resource
data
Future GIS WorkFuture GIS Work
• What of Statewide Cadastral Mapping?• Remembering the intent of (NMSA) 3.6.7.17.9. -
"Every County shall have a digitized set of maps . . . “
• Ideas towards this goal include– Regionalization of counties – Develop statewide service mechanism– Work towards enterprise type of cadastral mapping
DB– Exploring impediments and ideas to overcome
• Other ideas??? – Vamos a charlar
