Read on to explore the work of many of our partners who are using maps to visualize climate projections and impacts, illustrate drivers of climate change, provoke political action, and help implement solutions to reduce emissions. We hope this inspires more climate-related mapping that is urgently...
Furthermore, communicating and visualising uncertainties in climate data and climate change projections, using for example ensemble based approaches, presents additional challenges for mapping that require careful consideration. The aim of this paper is to provide background information and guidance on ...
Day 26: Map projectionsSee the map here. Mapboxer Nikita Slavin’s use of polar projections highlights the retreat of Arctic sea ice, illustrating the stark realities of climate change in the far north. Day 27: Micromapping Stephen Kennedy and Daniel Eke mapped detailed transit station interio...
Human-induced climate change has impacted every part of the globe, with human activities leading to warming the Earth's soils, oceans, and atmosphere over the past two millennia. In addition to rising temperatures, since the 1950s, the likelihood of extreme events like heatwaves, severe droughts...
World maps can often be misleading due to how the three-dimensional earth is projected onto a two-dimensional surface. Different projections distort various elements such as size, shape, or distance. One of the most famous projections is theMercator projection, often criticized for enlarging the si...
The distortion in a conic map makes it inappropriate for use as a visual of the entire Earth but does make it great for use visualizing temperate regions, weather maps, climate projections, and more. Lambert Conformal Conic Projection The Lambert Conformal Conic projection is a conic map projecti...
Physical maps represents geographical features of the World such as mountains, rivers, lake, bodies of water, plateaus,landforms, climate, soils.World Map ProjectionsA Map projection is a visual representation, transferring the graticule of latitude and longitude on a plane surface. There are ...
various aspects of human life, including food security, health, access to water resources, and overall economic activities. As a result, human livelihoods, especially those of vulnerable populations in developing nations, are under threat [1]. Projections suggest that by 2030, climate change could ...
Countries close to the equator barely change, whereas countries further north shrink dramatically. The maps are all the work of climate data scientist @neilrkaye. You can see an animation below: Map found via reddit, click for larger versionThe map also gives a bar graph to show the ...
Climate Maps:Illustrating temperature zones, rainfall distribution, and climate change effects. Interactive maps provide users with real-time data and allow for personalized exploration, making them valuable tools for research and education. Old map of EU Countries and candidate countries ...
