Thanks maps.com for featuring our map on arctic reindeer herding! www.maps.com/uncertainty-...

What a whirlwind October! I had the opportunity to travel from Iceland to Alaska, focusing on the power of maps to drive change.

This map from @cmshintani.bsky.social shows the range of the nomadic Dukha reindeer herders on the high taiga of northwest Mongolia.

❄️🚢 Using 6 years of AIS data & NOAA sea-ice records, I tracked vessels completing the Northern Sea Route during seasonal ice retreat. Despite global shocks (sanctions, etc), 2021 saw 92 ships vs just 10 in 2010. Visuals show daily sea-ice + tracks. Data: Kpler & MarineTraffic

This #MapMonday from @maps-and-pepper.bsky.social shows the predicted return period of once-in-a-generation storms. As climate change increases extreme weather events, we need to prepare with accurate risk information.

🌡️Have you been feeling the heat this week? Stay informed, hydrated, and safe! Dangerously hot days are on the rise across the U.S. according to this map from @cmshintani.bsky.social. This week’s extreme temperatures are part of a larger trend of climate change.

Great week at #EsriUC2025 with the @woodwellclimate.bsky.social team! Our @permafrostpathways.bsky.social booth was a hit, making many new connections… and Woodwell maps were everywhere, from the map gallery, plenary, to a main hall mural.

This map from @cmshintani.bsky.social shows the permafrost extant across the boreal forest ecoregion. Read more about the connection between boreal wildfires and permafrost at www.woodwellclimate.org/connection-b...

This #MapMonday from @cmshintani.bsky.social shows the carbon stores in peatland soil across the boreal forest ecoregion. Read more at www.woodwellclimate.org/connection-b...

I really enjoyed working on this map the past few months. If you're in San Diego this week for #EsriUC2025 check it out in the map gallery! mapgallery.esri.com/submission-d...

Very much appreciate the shout out by Jack here for Woodwell maps. This particular map is a @cmshintani.bsky.social original that elegantly highlights a small portion of our nearly two decade research in the Congo.

Looking forward to all the cool maps Nicole @maps-and-pepper.bsky.social will make for Woodwell this summer!

When boreal forests burn, the whole world feels the impact. Research from Woodwell Climate has expanded our understanding of boreal fire impact. Check out these four graphics from @cmshintani.bsky.social that shed light on the role of boreal fires in climate change: lnkd.in/evnUbxuC

Unpacking the Recent Heat Wave with an animation of NOAA's Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis (RTMA) data 🗺️ Stay cool this summer folks!

Our boreal fire team @woodwellclimate.bsky.social is in D.C. this week to discuss responses+solutions to address the severe northern #wildfires impacting people, animals, and ecosystems. We'll be adding to this resource 🧵, so please let us know what you'd like to see. (🗺️ by @cmshintani.bsky.social)

Taking a quick peek at firesmoke.ca/data/ ... things are heating up.

it's gonna be a hot one

We are sending huge congratulations to @gfiske.bsky.social whose maps highlighting Arctic change will be displayed in an iconic mural location in Telluride, CO for an entire year. Here's a peek at the mural unveiled at Mountainfilm this week. (📸 : Stash Wislocki)

Forest stability is a measurement of a forest's resistance to disturbances, both manmade and natural. This map by @cmshintani.bsky.social shows that forest stability is a marker of our oldest, strongest forests.

Make sure to check out @mapcenter.com if you ever get the chance. Thanks Andrew for the warm welcome!

The application for the summer Cartography internship is closing this Sunday night 4/13!

Cartography summer internship alert - come make maps with me and Greg!

Woodwell Climate cartographers use maps to propel climate science for solutions. @gfiske.bsky.social and @cmshintani.bsky.social show that the act of creating maps is not just an end product, but a critical step in the scientific process. Read more: www.woodwellclimate.org/cartography-...

Mapsdotcom (@jscarto.bsky.social) takes a peek at our CONUS Forest Carbon map led by @cmshintani.bsky.social. The map highlights research by Wayne Walker (and team) @woodwellclimate.bsky.social. #makesciencebeautiful www.maps.com/counting-car...

2024 was the hottest year in recorded history. 2023 was the second hottest. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

We're mapping the fires in Los Angeles. Wind + fire is a wicked combination, flashbacks to Paradise and Lahaina. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

I made this #map of Mt Rainier back in 2018 as part of a series showcasing the volcanos of the high Cascades. Started with Hood and did most of the big ones, but Rainier came out best. I manually pulled out forested areas used highest hit lidar data. It was a slog, but it got the detail I wanted.

What better way to spend the holidays than making #maps? Here bauhaus inspired grid map of europe, each country coloured by the first letter of their ISO name. 🔵🟢🟡 Little puzzle to figure out the grid 😅 Initial map made in #python then Figma to edit, code github.com/Lisa-Ho/smal... #dataviz

A few of the maps and graphics I made in 2024. What climate maps do you want to see next year?
