Terence Fostodon's | @researchremora perfect mix of 3D and 2D with a brilliant style. Ultra productive 3D map maker, worth every follow! Made in #rstats with #rayshader. 3/š§µ
Tutorial Threadš§µ on how to create Climate maps using R Language specifically ClimateRš§ļøš¤ļø package created by Mike Johnson...In this tutorial I'm going to use The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia šøš¦#gischat #cartography #GIS #geospatial #Remotesensing #dataviz #R #rspatial #mapping
So At first Climate R is package created specifically to deal with climate illustration ......So in order to get it working you have to Have Remote package already and you have to Install Using the codes below. 
So after that were going prepare the Tempreture illustration in which they are three ways of illustrating Mean Tempreture(One map),Annual Tempreture(Mutiple Maps) and Monthly Tempreture.

I enjoyed speaking at @OutlierConf this weekend on how I introduce #cartography to design students: by making schematic maps of hometowns (from all around India & beyond!).
If you missed it, here is a thread of some of the student maps to inspire you!

First, some context.
After spending all my childhood calling Delhi my *home*, I have sought *home* in many Indian cities: DEL ā GOA ā Mysuru ā BLR ā HYD ā BOM ā Pune ā BLR āØ
I perceived each city differently from others & made memory maps to show this.

When @venkatrajam invited me to introduce cartography to his students, we blended this idea of mapping personal lived experiences with schematic map (like Harry Beckās London tube map, or any other metro map youāve seen)
Voila: Schematic hometown mapping exercise was born!

I might be the last one on the population flag map bandwagon, but Iām pleased with the result! Thanks to @StatCan_eng @StatCan_fra for providing nearly *half a million* polygons to select from.

Over the last couple of weeks people have been posting their population flag maps, so I thought Iād try my hand at creating one for Canada. I figured that with detailed census data, I might even be able to include a reasonable facsimile of the maple leaf.
So I went to download the boundary file of Canadaās 56,589 dissemination areas, the smallest geographic area for which full census data is provided. Thatās when I discovered that Statistics Canada also provides a 'dissemination block' boundary file.
A very brief history of Pompeii in plans:
Historically, the hill that covered the ancient city of #Pompeii was known as āLa Civitaā ā the settlement.

While excavation of #Pompeii was in its infancy plans of the city were being made and I love that they are barely identifiable as being the ancient city we see today.

Under the auspices of French rule at the start of the 19th cent, excavations in #Pompeii opened up huge swathes of the ancient site & the city walls were uncovered revealing the extent of the urban area.

OK, so the first #cartobooks I am reviewing is "Ćsterreich ā Raum und Gesellschaft" (2019) by M. Seger and Thomas Hafner (cartographer, not credited as author). The book's claim is to give a comprehensive overview of Austria from a geographic perspective on 648 pages. #mapsathome
The book has potential to show a new way in digitally produced cartography: it doesn't even try to replicate the bespoke details and composition of analogue cartography, but leverages the advantages of digital production and GIS: sheer volume and density of (curated) information.
The maps in the book are uniformly rendered as bitmaps at a resolution of ā380 DPI, and printed with crisp square "pixel" boundaries. This gives the maps a distinctly "digital" look, letting the characteristics of the production process shine through to the surface.
Christopher Myers kalyban of #Cartography leads a creativity workshop at @NYUADArtsCenter with young poets from the moe_uaestudents #Masterpieces program before the final performance at @NYUAbuDhabi. Translations byā¦ instagram.com/p/B8izE_SJttO/ā¦
The conversation focuses on cultural memory and the role of poetry in shaping monuments to memories and what weāre trying to hold.
What will most poets say are the most important things in the world? asks Christopher Myers. He suggests that often, poets will argue for poetry as being that thing. (Even if behind the scenes, they are talking about money).
Q: why is a piece like this important?
A: thereās so much talk about migration and the framing and statistics impact policy. We can forget that those stories represent individual people with dreams that we can relate to #heroesjourney

On a show of hands, almost the entire audience from @acsabudhabi have lived in at least 2 or more countries. Migration is a common story in the UAE
Attention web cartographers: Today I'm releasing d3-geo-scale-bar version 1! It's a JavaScript library that makes it easy to add scale bars to your #D3js maps. Here's an introduction and tutorial on @observablehq: observablehq.com/@harrystevens/ā¦ #cartography
@observablehq Just give it a projection, and it'll give you a scale bar. It even plays nicely with transitions! observablehq.com/@harrystevens/ā¦

They chose to spend their inheritance on building educational institutions.

I love the phonetic sounds of the Arabic language for this location. I'm currently thinking the island is called internationally as Al 'Ard Ramali. Which roughly translates to The Land of the Spear. Is that too many syllables for a countries name? Does it flow? ā
At the very tip of the island (the pointy end), is the capital, a large trading port city that is literally & physically split in two ā It is known for trading in exotic items, precious metals & precious gems. Due to the desert environment that largely covers the island, food...
