I am in the early stages of my dissertation, but am finally developing some output.
I received a research grant from Texas A&M's Department of Sociology to purchase a series of files from the Texas Railroad Commission. I linked the data and developed the map writing a series of Stata and Python commands. Click here for the code I wrote to transform the purchased dataset to be viewed in ArcGIS.
I was then able to develop my first ever mobile map, using ArcGIS and my affiliation with Texas A&M University's ArcGIS organization account. I still have some work to do in regards to checking the accuracy of geocodes, but I have developed my first draft of a mobile-friendly GIS of Texas gas well flaring and venting emissions in 2012. You can see my map below.

As you can see, there is a significant amount of variation in regards to the amount of gas Texas gas wells vented or flared in 2012. My dissertation will explain this variation by quantifying the effects of various organizational, community, and political-legal characteristics on Texas gas well venting and flaring emissions.
