Aujourd'hui, intervention en visio et échanges avec des élèves de 4e et 3e d'un collège du Mercantour sur mon métier de #cartographe.

Je recommande la plateforme : on est guidée, il y a une trame d'intervention facile à compléter et les élèves sont choupinous.

C'est ici pour les personnes intéressées : cerclefser.org/fr/comptoir-des

New article! Nianhua Liu, Yu Feng and colleagues look at Trust in Climate Change Communication, including the impact of having just a map or a photo included, or just a headline #GISchat #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1080/15230406.2025. Data at figshare.com/articles/dataset/

Figure 4b) showing Example 2 of headline-with-map versus headline-with-photo posts. Both posts have the headline 'Swiss glaciers lose 10% of volume in worst two years on record' with a user profile icon and reliability rating scale from 1 (Unreliable) to 4 (Fully Reliable). The left post displays a topographic map of Switzerland with colored circles indicating glacier volume changes, with a legend showing changes from 0.00 to -0.75 meters water equivalent and circle sizes representing glacier areas of 10, 50, and 200 square kilometers. The right post shows a photograph of a striped measurement pole on a snowy glacier with mountains in the background under a blue sky.

Just did a tiny consulting job - essentially speedrunning @qgis print composer for academic multi panel figure making.

...with a little intuitive geo guessing and a sprinkle of composition/ visual flow theory.

Result?

A year long pain point solved in a few hours.

I'm more than happy to do full day workshops on this - consider hiring me as part of your next writing retreat / conference. Can also work with matplotlib/cartopy and Inkscape ;)

New article! Manuel Riberio and colleagues use Web-Delphi and workshops to help develop map-based dashboards to support pandemic response policy-making #GISchat doi.org/10.1080/15230406.2025.

Figure 1: A horizontal diagram displaying five colorful chevron-shaped steps of a collaborative framework. Step 1 (cyan): Preparatory design of the process by decision analysis and geographic information systems experts. Step 2 (lime green): Virtual workshop with small core group to discuss Web-Delphi design. Step 3 (orange): Web-Delphi process with larger panel of experts and policymakers to ideate relevant map-based geographic information elements for policymaking in pandemic contexts. Step 4 (coral pink): Web-Delphi analyses by decision analysis and geographic information experts, including statistical analyses of results. Step 5 (purple): Virtual workshop 2 with small core group to discuss Web-Delphi results and determine which elements are relevant for policymaking in pandemic contexts.

The @weeklyOSM folks featured a neat lighthouse map a few weeks ago. It reminded me of an old Leaflet based lighthouse map -but- I really wanted globe view...

A few days of work (and adding support for even more kinds of blinky nautical tags), I present the lighthouse-map-libre

Warning: it is very very blinky.

#OpenstreetMap #maplibre #gischat

A darkened globe map on a background of stars. It is centered on North America. There are colorful circles around the edges of the continents and on the islands. Each, an individual light house, bouy etc. 

This is not animated but the website is very blinky. I would love to figure out what an accessible way to look at this data would be... hmmm. Another project.

I too discourage .mdb and .gdb. #TeamShapefile is the way to go 👍 #gischat

The Netherlands - viewed from space using cloudless satellite imagery

#Blender #Cartography #Maps #GisChat #QGIS

Satellite image of the Netherlands, showing its flat, bright-green landscape shaped by water management. The IJsselmeer inland lake, Wadden Islands barrier chain, and southwestern river delta are visible. Dense urban areas appear as grey clusters, with Germany and Belgium in darker tones bordering to the east and south.
