”Tunnen pettymystä, jos nyt tunteista puhutaan” – välillä ilmastonmuutoksen tutkijat kyllästyvät selittämään samoja asioita Tutkijat ovat puhuneet ilmastonmuutoksesta ja ekologisesta kriisistä vuosikymmeniä. Silti valtiot kiistelevät yhä siitä, kenen pitäisi tehdä ja kuinka paljon. Miltä sitä tuntuu seurata?

Schematic of the workflow in the article. Leftmost panel shows a representation of the input data with high diversity in the types of place names resulting from typographical errors, character encoding errors, language-specific spellings and use of different scripts. The centre panel shows the general workflow from preprocessing to geocoding and finally to validation. The rightmost panel shows the spatially enriched Erasmus+ mobility data on a map with edge-bundled flows representing different intensities of student mobility across NUTS 3 regions in Europe.

Two maps of US unemployment rates by county. They are identical except that the legend in the second has been converted into a histogram.

Your map’s legend can be turned into a histogram, helping your audience understand the distribution in addition to decoding the colours.
