Not there, but hi anyway!!

Beautiful!

Landslides on the arete between Mt Vancouver and Mt Logan. Elevation difference between the central peak and the glacier is 500 m.

Large landslides on the southwest side of Mt King George. The main debris lobe on the right is approximately 1000 m wide. The elevation difference between the peak and glacier is approximately 1900 m.

Landslides on the west side of Mt King George. The central debris lobe is 500 m wide.

Large landslide on the southwest side of Mt King George. The main debris lobe is 1800 m wide, and material traveled approximately 6 km from the source area.

On FB, Yukon Geological Survey posted some spectacular photos of landslides & snow avalanches triggered by the magnitude 7.0 earthquake on Dec 6 in the St Elias Mountains. Here are some of my favs. @geocron.bsky.social @theronfinley.bsky.social @davepetley.bsky.social @ksvenenvig.bsky.social 🧪⚒️

"You’re seeing a new kind of map. Our Constellation Map reimagines how Indigenous nations can be shown by highlighting relationships, connections, and presence rather than strict borders. This map displays nations as glowing points linked together in a constellation-like network, with only faint hints of territorial shapes in the background. It’s a way of inviting users to explore Indigenous land, waters, and people through a more interconnected lens."

Loving the new "Constellation Map" view on Native Land Digital:

Independent Map Sellers A shopping guide offered by the Independent Map Artists

I have no specific endorsements, but many independent map artists' shops are here! mapartists.org

Well deserved!

Just finished STRATA, and was entirely absorbed. Definitely one of my 2025 favorites!

Screw it let's just give a preview now. If you make things and you want to sell to retailers, here are a few tips:

1. Most retailers need wholesale discounts ~30-50%
2. If you want a small business to take a chance on your product, offer a low order minimum (at first).

I've joined the jolly Independent Map Sellers and let me tell you, there are some fantastic gifts here! I have a few prints available (heads up Chicago fans, Wendell Berry fans) ... and I'm going to be leaving town, so order by Dec. 3 for delivery before Christmas. 🗺️🎁 mapartists.org

Not cutting down snags in our yard invites woodpeckers and cavity-nesting creatures. Simple and effective!

So cool, I had no idea they could be seen that far south!

A maniacal series of cackles and whines! Love this share :)

Day 1: Points

Worked on this experimental dot density map using UK population data by age and sex. The points are generated and coloured in real-time as you explore the map.

Love the high-voltage look of stream connectivity in a flow accumulation raster with the default QGIS Mako color ramp.

I'd go where the people will see it, and come in, year round!

Jamaica will need help

Maine is building homes faster, but they are emptier Often-overlooked numbers show how fewer people are living together, inadvertently contributing to Maine's housing crisis.

It's great to see this dimension of the affordable housing crisis getting more attention: new housing units have outpaced population growth in every Maine county since 1970.

@mapesgeog.bsky.social , makes me think of your work!

I want to read this!

It was busy, and hi!

Elegant!

Nicely done, and an amazing news team!

Bluefin tuna swimming in blue ocean

Small afternoon rant: we need to stop talking about the ocean in terms of “secrets” & “mystery”. That tends to be an excuse for not actually looking at its wonderful (known) richness properly. It’s not a void… it’s a fascinating physical part of Planet Earth. We know a lot and we will know more! 🌊

Just as I read this AP article, Dr. Richard Schein began his keynote speech on racial geography. @nacis.bsky.social 2025 conference does not disappoint!

Have book will travel ... to the @nacis.bsky.social 2025 conference. I'm excited to be part of the #mappingwater session on Friday. And, thank you, @laurapoppick.bsky.social for the great reading material :)

Katahdin mapped for 2025

It's always lovely to unexpectedly bump into collaborative projects. My only task was creating the tinted shaded relief. Tanner Arrington with #CommunityGeographics pulled it all together with the details. #Katahdin #cartography #BaxterStatePark #shadedrelief

Underground Atlas: Mycorrhizal Biodiversity Map v1.0 Explore the distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi to identify biodiversity hotspots and areas with rare, endemic fungi.

Hasn't everything already been mapped?

I don't think so. Have you seen this atlas of underground fungi biodiversity? www.spun.earth/underground-...

Just got back from some amazing surf from Gabrielle at Matunuck and the best stop was visiting with Andrew @mapcenter.com . Loved chatting carto and diving into the inspiring map collection Andrew has accrued.
