I haven't used this site in over 10 years and it has come in clutch twice this past week. #gischat www.earthpoint.us

Rivers across Alaska and the wider Arctic are turning bright orange, as increased temperatures cause iron and other metals to leach into waterways, as permafrost thaws and glaciers melt Read @fteva.bsky.social and my visual story here as.ft.com/r/824504f0-d...

Median Generations by County (2023) Another version of my previous map. I used the #QGIS 2.5D symbology with a standard choropleth. It is a little confusing to use, but I think I get the gist of it now. The counties are extruded by population. #gischat #gis #cartography #maps

This is pretty cool. I am near the middle of the Geospatial Professionals.

I love a custom north arrow.

Our paper “Inferring fine-grained migration patterns across the United States” is now out in @natcomms.nature.com! We released a new, highly granular migration dataset. 1/9

The Utah Historical Society just produced a new, excellent map of "The Peoples of North America in 1776." Great resource for anyone teaching, writing, presenting about Native peoples as part of their 250th work. america250.utah.gov/power-of-pla...

Five classes I took in college. - Intro to Art (I still think about this class) - United States History in the 1970s - Climatology - German Fairly Tales - Microeconomics (yuck) Honorable mention for statistics. Also, taking an econ class dropped my opinion of econ into the toilet. Lol

I made a Median Generations map of the US for a contest, but I missed the deadline. 😅 The generations are based on the median age of census tracts in 2023. The urban areas are tract centroids, and the rural areas were dasymetrically binned to a 10km grid. #gis #cartography #gischat

Just an incredible and unusual landslide at Niscemi, Sicily, Italy, as captured by @planet.com SuperDove satellites 🧪⚒️🛰️

For context, before 1980, #Nashville temperatures hit 0°F an average of once per winter. Because of #GlobalWarming, what used to be an annual event has only happened 4 times in the last 30 years. Similarly, before 1980 we got 12" of snow in an average winter. Since 2000, it's around 4".

Increasing hazard situational awareness is always worthwhile, and disaster maps are never excessive. I made this US #WinterStorm map with a dark background (save battery during outages), a vertical layout (mobile viewing/sharing), colorblind friendliness, and county/city references. Source: #NOAA

Do you appreciate @nws.noaa.gov's posts on Bluesky? Did you know that this account is a pilot program that may or may not be continued and even expanded to NWS field offices? NWS is soliciting comments here! www.surveymonkey.com/r/PrototypeN... Press release: www.weather.gov/media/notifi...

I created a quick workflow on how to find the highest value from multiple attribute columns in #QGIS. This is helpful if you have temporal or similar data in a single feature class. In my example, I had over 100 columns to compare. #gis #gischat

Interesting #QGIS plugin for quick feature show/hiding. www.reddit.com/r/QGIS/comme...

The first JHU GIS After Dark in 2026 is on February 5th from 7-8pm featuring Lauren Teirney from ESRI. The event is free and open to the public, however, you need register to attend. #gis #gischat www.eventbrite.com/e/gis-after-...

This simple label took me over day to make. I am still learning expression builder in #QGIS. I needed the highest value for each feature from over one hundred attribute columns AND the name of the field name. The worst part is I don't know if I will use this info. lol

This is a very cool idea.

Labeling maps is a peaceful practice, and often is half the job of a cartographer. I'm sure seas will be drained and skies will be blackened so that AI can do it in our stead in a year or two, but for now, I always enjoy looking at a "map minus map" version of completed work.

A work-in-progress map of the Forests in the lower US. I haven't decided if I am going to display and label the National Parks and/or Forests yet. Things get pretty busy on the West Coast. The legend is going to be a nightmare and I am not looking forward to it. 😂 #gis #gischat #cartography #map

Arizona Joy Plot Map Testing out another method. Instead of applying the gradient across the entire feature layer, I applied a gradient to each individual plot line. This gives the plot lines a more 3D like effect. This is still a work in progress. #gis #qgis #cartography #maps

Happy Solstice and first official day of winter. More daylight each day now and spring is not far away.

Solstice on a Spinning Earth apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25122... Can you tell that today is a solstice by the tilt of the Earth? Yes. At a solstice, the Earth's terminator -- the dividing line between night and day -- is tilted the most.

Man, I'm done with the days getting shorter! I am talking to MANAGEMENT. I will GET RESULTS. If the days get longer here on out, you'll know who to thank.

Happy winter solstice. 📊

Today is the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year for most of us living between the Equator and the Arctic Circle. The duration varies by latitude. Those living in the Arctic are experiencing Polar Night, which may have begun weeks ago! Blog antonioantoine.com/2025/12/17/t...

Got my #NACIS Christmas tree ornament up! I think it is the only mappy ornament I have and I happened to win it at the 2025 conference.

I am thinking about doing a state-level run of Joy Plot maps. I do think Virginia may have set the bar a little high. It looks like a mountain emerging from the fog. #cartography #maps #qgis #gis

If you enjoy both #RhodeIsland and #rivers, stop by The Map Center (@mapcenter.com) to check out (and maybe buy?) this poster I designed for them, showing the state's streams in the style of a transit network map.

The #30DayMapChallenge is a wrap! I made a map quilt of my favorite Rhode Island maps from the challenge. I had to resize a few of them to get them all to line up. Had I planned this in advance, I would have alternated between light and dark maps. #cartography

Dark mode maps are attractive & engaging, but present design difficulties. It’s harder for us to parse light on dark than dark on light, and the way we interpret variation in lightness as differences in transparency compounds the difficulty. 📊🗺️🎨 From: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

I got maps to make, but the second shingles shot is kicking my ass. 🤒 Vaccines usually are pretty mild for me. I don't have Spotify, but YouTube Music is trying to embarrass me with my listening habits of 2024. I am not sure how Draggin Around was my top song. lol. Everything else makes sense.

Introduce yourself with five cars you've owned. Judging by the other responses, I might be one of the few "car guys" on here. 2003 Subaru WRX (Current) 2005 Subaru WRX STI 2009 Subaru WRX 2003 Audi A4 2005 Mustang I clearly have a thing for the 2000s era. 😂

Day 29 - Raster Rhode Island 24K Topo Maps I have wanted to make a version of this map for some years now. TopoView was a big help in downloading the 24k topos. Clipping and stitching the 38 topos was a pita even with batch processing. I crashed QGIS a few times. lol #30DayMapChallenge

Day 28 - Black The Longest Nights (2025) Polar night (+24 hr night) occurs just beyond the Arctic Circle. This is due to the Earth's gravitational pull on light. The ramp up from just beyond the Arctic Circle 67.4°N (24 hrs) to 67.5°N (11 days) is wild. #30DayMapChallenge

Day 27 - Boundaries EST States & Provinces How many states and provinces share the same time zone as Rhode Island? #30DayMapChallenge

Day 26 - Transport Rhode Island Bike Lanes & Routes I am not super happy with this one (don't hate either). I think it needs to bake for a few more hours. Maybe even a total redo. However, I am running low on time and creative energy. And this isn't my normal lane, lol. #30DayMapChallenge

Day 25 - Hexagons Rhode Island Dating Age Population Distribution I have been thinking about making a national version of this map for some time now. The hue indicates whether a cell has more men or women (age 20-39). The hex size shows the cell pop density per 1 km (0.6 mi). #30DayMapChallenge

#30DayMapChallenge: Day 23's theme was "Process", here are several interesting spatial tutorials that came across my feeds ⬇️ 1/ #cartography #GIS #remotesensing #GIStutorials #GISChat

Day 24 - Toponymy Rhode Island Indigenous Toponymy This map shows the places (cities, towns, and villages) in Rhode Island named after Indigenous people, places, or things, along with their meanings. #30DayMapChallenge

Day 23 - Process Create a Joy Plot Map in QGIS I created a workflow for creating a Joy Plot Map in QGIS. I plan on adding more workflows or tutorials in the future. antonioantoine.com/2025/11/23/c... #30DayMapChallenge

Day 22 - Natural Earth (NE) Antarctica Taking a small break from Rhode Island today for a map of Antarctica. Most NE data is intended for medium to small-scale maps, so I wanted a subject area that was a little larger. All layers are vector data from NE. #30DayMapChallenge

Day 21 - Icon Rhode Island Public Libraries Here are the Public Libraries across Rhode Island. The symbol is from the @nounproject.bsky.social, which is probably one of the best subscriptions I have. The symbols are graduated by square footage. #30DayMapChallenge

Day 20 - Water Narragansett Bay Watershed 10 Days to go! I am starting to feel a little repetitive. 😰 The bathymetry saved this one. Almost all of Rhode Island is in the Narragansett Bay Watershed. I think I will expand this one into a large format map one day. #30DayMapChallenge

Mama, I made it! 😁🗺️ #gischat
