The latest version of the {mapgl} #rstats package is now released, supporting scrollytelling-style story maps! Build richly interactive map stories from your R data pipelines using @Mapbox or @maplibre as your backend. Learn how in the new vignette: walker-data.com/mapg...
Is there a link between #ClimateChange & increasing risk/severity of #wildfire in California--including the still-unfolding disaster? Yes. Is climate change the only factor at play? No, of course not. So what's really going on? [Thread] #CAfire #CAwx #LAfires iopscience.iop.org/a...
There is no end to wildfire season in places like LA anymore. I just pulled the latest Fire Weather Index Data and what's striking is risky conditions have not let up in Dec, Jan as they usually do. Extreme dryness is overlapping with high wind speeds which are literally ~fanning the flames~.
Excited to share some work I'll be presenting at @ieeevis.bsky.social 📊 I developed a cheat sheet of strategies for responsive thematic mapping based on interviews & design workshops with visualization/mapping practitioners. Find the cheat sheet here: responsive-vis.github.io/map-cheat-sh...

KTLA 5@ktla.com · 2y agoCalFire, the California Department of Forestry & Fire Prevention, is offering the public an interactive, three-dimensional view of the Palisades Fire in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles.
The figures in this are some of the most well thought out I've seen in a paper in ages. It very clearly lays out the effects of fire severity on aquatic organisms and how that relationship shifts over time. Wowza!

I arrive here having finished a major, multi-month project: creating a posters in a hachure style reminiscent of centuries past. Have a look: terrainlines.etsy.com. There's a free ebook, too! somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2024/10/31/a... If you could share them around, I would be grateful!
Happy New Year! I updated my webpage of envirionment-related scholarships, grants, & awards: www.aerinjacob.ca/funding--awa... It includes: * science * action & policy * communication * travel awards * international tho' emphasis on N Am, Africa, & women Please share. #ConservationFunding

Congrats Weiwei (and et. al)! This will for sure be a hugely impactful paper. I know I've been curious about changes in fire severity and am glad to have a paper to point to going forward. Also, this is a baller figure— way to summarize a lot of information in an attractive and succinct format. 🙌
Mike Flannigan@mikeflannigan.bsky.social · 2y agoCongratulations to Weiwei Wang (early career researcher) on her paper in Science out today - 'Canadian forests are more conducive to high-severity fires in recent decades' largely due to increases in fuel aridity. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Good Fire S3 is coming 🥳! I can't wait. This teaser explores burning longleaf pine on the lands of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas and highlights the cultural significance and fire stewardship of longleaf. Great episode @amycardinal.bsky.social! yourforestpodcast.com/good-fire-po...

I’m working on updates the Capitol Riot Map—an interactive visualization of the more than 1,500 individuals connected to January 6th. I’ve spent more than 3-years and devoted hundreds of hours to this project, and there’s still more work to be done. Details on how to support this project below👇🏼

🎨✨ R isn’t just for crunching numbers – you can make art with it too! A colleague sent me this, and I had to try it myself 🎆 Fireworks with ggplot2! Here’s to a creative and data-driven 2025! 🖼️💻 👉 Code here: pastejustit.com/to2jqgsjvd #RStats #DataArt #HappyNewYear2025
A few of the maps and graphics I made in 2024. What climate maps do you want to see next year?
I see myself in this picture, and I don't like it
Gulrez Khan (Drawing Data with Kids)@gulrez.bsky.social · 2y agoTHINK YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ? This graph represents the average number of books you could read in a year with the time you spend on social media. -- How many books you planning to read in 2025? #Books #Dataviz
Things I learned from my first #TidyTuesday 🖼️ images can be a PAIN 👀 sneak peeks at others' Git repos are invaluable (ty @karaman.is & @nrennie.bsky.social for font and colour ideas) 🤏 scaling from R's plot pane to final product is high on my learning list (guess and check is no fun) #Rstats
My first #TidyTuesday! Where to find the top chefs in the US? For a simple graphic, I was surprised at how much time I sunk into this. I fought too long with different ways to load the award image. But, learned lots Code: coming soon, using this to finally setup a GitHub workflow #Rstats #dataviz

This starter pack was invaluable for finding my people. Thanks for creating it—my feed is finally starting to look like it did on the bird site! (Also, hello to everyone I just followed. I'm already eating up your gorgeous maps 🗺️)
Dr. Dominic Royé@drxeo.eu · 2y agoWellcome @johnnelsonmaps.bsky.social!! New added to my map starter pack II Who else wants to join my starter pack on #maps #cartography? 🗺️ I had to start a second part as I reached the 150 limit. Part II go.bsky.app/BkpBQe9 Part I go.bsky.app/222AVDQ
Wildfire analyst @ Canadian Forest Service here, specializing in #fireecology and long-term fire risk. Passionate about turning complex data into visuals that spark curiosity. Let's connect if you're into #firescience, #dataviz, or just love a good map! Bonus points if you bring marshmellows.
