The winds of change... exciting things in the works with weather data layers! 👀

Finally got shadows to work on a 3D Mapbox terrain map using Three.js! We'll use this in our free wind turbine visualization Observable notebook once it's ready 😊 observablehq.com/@chrispahm/ena…

110 QGIS videos and one bad shirt on the channel now, including: - how to get data from that web map - summing populations by area - change map opacity by population value - blend text with map in print layout - calculate area overlap % - glowing lines youtube.com/@automaticknow…

I'm turning Chronotrains into a trip planning tool. Think Google Flights, but for trains in Europe. Because 🚆 are cooler than ✈️.

It's been 1 year since radar.quadweather.com launched with the goal of bringing desktop radar software to the browser. I'm grateful to everyone who has used it to analyze and be in awe of severe weather. I'm still amazed by some of the imagery that comes out of it!

New on the blog: how to get Mapbox travel-time isochrones as GeoPandas GeoDataFrames in #Python You'll learn how to link the routingpy package to GeoPandas, setting you up to perform powerful #GIS analyses in Python w/ Mapbox services Read it here: walker-data.com/posts/python-i…

Cool animated map shows the elevation profiles for major Scottish rivers. Yes, this might sound obvious but I love how this map by Steven Kay shows how rivers flow from higher to lower altitudes. #geography #geographyteacher

The Pacific Northwest and far NorCal are on track to see a significant atmospheric river dropping widespread rainfall amounts of 1-4 inches early next week. This will likely bring fire season-ending rainfall from Eureka northward and likely put an end to the wildfires, sending

I just released a new version of the #rstats package {mapboxapi}, which helps you use Mapbox web services in your data science projects. Haven't used the package before? Let's take a tour! A 🧵:

Global Ship Density - #30DayMapChallenge - Day 7 - Navigation - Which angle do you prefer? Frames from animation made in Blender. Experimental visualisation with all observed ship movement from 2015-2020, at 500 m resolution from IMF's World Seaborne Trade Monitoring System &

Some weekend R&D in visualising some of the census 21 travel to work flow data per MSOA. Each sphere is proportional to volume/10. I like using particle flows in these cases to comprehend flow directionality. #map #3d #animation

I've been completely obsessed with the GEOS-FP relative humidity data for a while. For day 17 - Flow of the #30DayMapChallenge I decided to embrace the vibes and watch the planet breathe. #maps #gis #blender3D

As we approach the end of the year, we collected high-resolution #satellite images that highlight 2023 events as seen from space. Here’s a select few from geopolitical, weather and climate, and human interest events. See the full gallery: ow.ly/cJ9B50QhssL #viewfromspace
