Day 13 - 10 Minute Map RI Passenger Vessel Routes in July This is my third 30Day challenge, and I always flub the 10 min challenge. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach. π I wanted more of a glow effect, but that ate up all of my time.

Day 12 - Map from 2125 SLR in Rhode Island Part of my MS research, I studied the impact of SLR on bldgs in coastal LA. SLR is rising faster in the Gulf than anywhere else in the US. While the RI SLR extent is not as bad as LAs, the population density is higher.

Day 11 - Minimal Rhode Island Elevation Joy Plot Map I made a Joy Plot map years ago in ArcPro, but I am using QGIS these days, so I figured this would be a great time to learn a new workflow. I will be posting the workflow on Day 23 - Process.

Day 10 - Air Rhode Island Annual Mean Wind Speed π RI coastlines, urban areas, and lakes are pretty windy at the surface level. Prudence Island was a little surprising, given the stories from early settlers. Poor Block Island, though (probably my symbology).

Day 7 - Accessibility Walking Times from the Independent Man The Independent Man is a gold-plated bronze statue on top of the Rhode Island State House, located in Providence, RI. This is an isochrone map that I made more complicated by symbolizing the roads by color and weight.

Day 6 - Dimensions Rhode Island Elevation Contours I tried using the 2.5D tools in QGIS for this one, but I didn't like how they turned out. After creating the color ramp, I added the shadows in Affinity Designer. This gave the contours a 3D effect.

Day 4 - My Data RSCC Tree Map A couple of summers ago, RSCC students Kasey Byrne and JD Burnette helped me map the trees at the Oak Ridge campus. They logged the tree species, heights, diameters, canopy, and general health. I digitized the other campus features.

Day 3 - Polygons The Native Lands in Rhode Island One of my carto goals is to make a big map of the native lands in the US. Judging by my experience with this RI map, I may have to map by region or state level. Lots of boundaries overlap, making it difficult to show them all.

Day 2 - Lines Rhode Island Historical Hurricanes (1851-2024) Someone made a map of hurricane tracks over FL for a previous 30 Day challenge. I don't remember who it was, and I can't find their info. It was on the old site. Either way, that map inspired me to make one for RI.

Hey
#gischat
, is anyone else having issues accessing data from The National Map or LidarExplorer? Whenever I run a search, TNM says "too many records", and LE starts to search, then stops. I'm guessing the issues have something to do with the shutdown.

Wild! This NOAA video shows how quickly fossil fuel CO2 can accumulate. It shows daily fossil CO2 over a 2 year period (2011-2012), starting with a concentration of *Zero*: "By the end of 2012, the entire Northern Hemisphere is red, illustrating a total accumulation of about 9 to 10 ppm of CO2"

Prudence Island is the 3rd largest island in Rhode Island. It is home to over 100 year round residents and is only accessible by boat or ferry. Most of the island is protected from development by the locally run Prudence Conservancy and the NOAA associated NBNERR.

Most maps shrink Hawaii into a compact box, but the archipelago actually sprawls 2,450 km across the Pacific. That's roughly NYC to Denver. This map shows the true extent β from Kure Atoll in the northwest to the Big Island in the southeast.

This is surprising. I would have expected single parents to be one of the dominant groups based on the media. Married, no kids are basically flat. Single, no kids seems to be the big change in households. Overall, married households went from 74% to 47%.

I was doing research on a RI hurricane in 1938 (unnamed) for one of my maps and came across this article. The eye of the storm landed in New Haven, CT, but RI was on the dirty side and got hit with a the storm surge. The photos help put it in perspective.

We seem hell bent on reliving the sins of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I wonder how long it will take for these corporate coins to become company scrip. The article is paywalled, but we have been trending in this direction for a while.

In one of my GIS DB courses at JHU, I made an animated map of PM2.5 concentrations sampled at major lower 48 cities using R, FME, and ArcPro. Around the summer, you can see the 2023 Canadian wildfire smoke roll through the Midwest and the Northeast.

Welp, after putting in an embarrassing number of hours into Civ 5 (I was stuck at 9999 hrs for years), I managed to keep it off my new computer last fall. Last night, Civ 6 was on sale for $5, and I feel like I just ruined my life for $5. π

I mapped payday lenders in my county for my associates GIS capstone project. Many of them were located in middle and lower-middle income neighborhoods. This tracked with Baradaran's book, How The Other Half Banks. It is crazy that they can sue after trapping people in these predatory loans.
