Whew, the #30DayMapChallenge is something else. This is my first year attempting it and I managed to produce 30 maps. They aren't masterpieces but I did have fun making them and that's all that matters.
Visit www.30daymapchallenge.com for more information.
Day 1: Points
Points representing wind turbine production overlayed onto average wind speed at 100m. Most of the Netherlands has commercially viable wind speeds. #Climate #Sustainable #Energy
Day 2: Lines
Day 2: Lines - Isle Royale is one of the least visited #NationalParks. Rural and rugged, #IsleRoyale is only accessible by ferry or float plane. The park closes for winter and the wolves take care of it until spring. @PureMichigan @NatlParkService
Day 3: Polygons
Day 3: Polygons - Let's take a trip to #SaudiArabia and learn about water and population distribution. Why do Saudis live in the desert instead of near the coast? #Geography #HumanGeography Special shout out to @S_Alwulayi for helping me find this data.
Day 4: Green
Day 4: Green - #India's green #energy adoption is rapidly underway with multiple states already at 100%, creating a better future for the next generation. #ClimateChange #environment #CleanEnergy

Day 7: Raster
Day 8: OpenStreetMap

Day 8: #OpenStreetMap - The #Hyderabad metro revolutionized transportation in Hyderabad, #India. What I love most about it is being able to see the city from an elevated new perspective.
Day 9: Space
Day 9: Space - Today I made a map of the approximate landing sites and major geographic features on Mars. Maybe our grandchildren's generation will have the opportunity to become stellar cartographers if we don't destroy the earth first.
Day 10: Bad Map
Day 10: A Bad Map - Today, I made a bad map about bad criminals: Recidivism by State. What's going on in New Mexico?

Day 17: Map Without a Computer
Day 17: #Map without a computer - instead of a map, here is a whiteboard from my office. I don’t know many professionals who can explain MAUP let alone differences between interpolation or statistical methods. I am a scientist first, and an artists second. #gis
Day 18: Blue
Day 18: Blue - Sir Creek is an uninhabited tidal estuary at the mouth of the Indus river and marks a major point of contention between India and Pakistan. There's no reason for it to be blue but it looks pretty.
