I'm probably one of the biggest Mercator projection haters (especially for regional maps) and that dude sounds like an asshole. Some people learn one factoid and apply it universally. Kinda like em dashes and AI.
Gotcha. I forget he died in the 90s. I was in high school but I don't remember it. My brain just assumed he lived on Mars after '74.
wut???? 🤯
I think it would work better if they masked the underside of the land areas with the background color.
I am looking for a PDF reader/editor so I can remove the last Adobe CS app from my computer. The software is so bloated and slow now. My computer is only 2 years old. I haven't found a Lightroom replacement yet, but I don't take pics with my DSLR as often as I used to. I use Affinity for the rest.
Ah, that fun moment when you realize the data you collected from official sources, then spent time cleaning, formatting, and plopping it onto a map, has to be guessetimated anyway. 😭🤦♂️
Congrats on the feature!
I haven't used this site in over 10 years and it has come in clutch twice this past week. #gischat

Rivers across Alaska and the wider Arctic are turning bright orange, as increased temperatures cause iron and other metals to leach into waterways, as permafrost thaws and glaciers melt

I appreciate your service.🫡
It really looked like the version you can buy at the grocery store.
A map showing the median generation (age) by county level in the United States. Millennials are the most dominant group, followed by Gen X, Gen Z, and then Boomers.
Median Generations by County (2023)
Another version of my previous map. I used the #QGIS 2.5D symbology with a standard choropleth. It is a little confusing to use, but I think I get the gist of it now. The counties are extruded by population.

This is pretty cool. I am near the middle of the Geospatial Professionals.
I love a custom north arrow.
Our paper “Inferring fine-grained migration patterns across the United States” is now out in @natcomms.nature.com! We released a new, highly granular migration dataset. 1/9
Map identifying the approximate regions where various Indigenous groups lived in North America in 1776.
The Utah Historical Society just produced a new, excellent map of "The Peoples of North America in 1776." Great resource for anyone teaching, writing, presenting about Native peoples as part of their 250th work. america250.utah.gov/power-of-pla...
Five classes I took in college.
- Intro to Art (I still think about this class)
- United States History in the 1970s
- Climatology
- German Fairly Tales
- Microeconomics (yuck)
Honorable mention for statistics. Also, taking an econ class dropped my opinion of econ into the toilet. Lol
I was surprised to see so many Gen X locations, but then I remembered they are between two massive generations. If there is a decent size Boomer population in the tract, it will probably pull the median into Gen X territory.
A map showing the spatial distribution of median generations across the contiguous US. The four main generations are: Boomers (1946-64), Gen X (1965-80), Millennials (1981-96), and Gen Z (1997-2012).
I made a Median Generations map of the US for a contest, but I missed the deadline. 😅 The generations are based on the median age of census tracts in 2023. The urban areas are tract centroids, and the rural areas were dasymetrically binned to a 10km grid.

Just an incredible and unusual landslide at Niscemi, Sicily, Italy, as captured by @planet.com SuperDove satellites 🧪⚒️🛰️
Gotcha! There are a few map contests going on, I wasn't sure. lol
Which map gallery are you referring to?
Somehow I had three art classes in high school in the middle of nowhere AL! Maybe four, now that I think about it.
Dang, I wish I had the option of a printmaking class!

Martha Muir and Ilya Gridneff's report

For context, before 1980, #Nashville temperatures hit 0°F an average of once per winter. Because of #GlobalWarming, what used to be an annual event has only happened 4 times in the last 30 years.
Similarly, before 1980 we got 12" of snow in an average winter. Since 2000, it's around 4".
Very cool! Did you make the web map with AGOL or FOSS?
Increasing hazard situational awareness is always worthwhile, and disaster maps are never excessive. I made this US #WinterStorm map with a dark background (save battery during outages), a vertical layout (mobile viewing/sharing), colorblind friendliness, and county/city references. Source: #NOAA
That is wild! An orographic lift and lake effect combo.
This is something I want to incorporate into my river workflows.
Do you appreciate @nws.noaa.gov's posts on Bluesky?
