If there’s anything better than a map, it’s a moving map. In climate science, time is the most important variable. Static maps are great, but animations allow us to visualize trends, cycles, and shifts that a single frame just can’t capture. #maps #geospatial #climate @woodwellclimate.bsky.social
Mapping at 70°N In Kautokeino this week facilitating a workshop with the International Centre for Reindeer Husbandry. Helping the Sámi community use cartography to protect and communicate their traditional herding practices. 🦌🗺️

To design a powerful map is not merely to depict geography—it is to craft an argument about the world.

Honored to join the Harvard Arctic Initiative workshop in Yellowknife this week, ancestral home of the Yellowknives Dene. We worked with leaders from 14 communities to create a community-driven action plan for permafrost thaw. As always, maps were key to communication & knowledge transfer🗺️
En route to Yellowknife NWT just in time for some real winter weather 🥶
We are kicking off the mappiest week of the year - our first Map Bracket Showdown! Starting today, we’ll post head to head competitions of some of @gfiske.bsky.social gorgeous storytelling, and innovative data visualizations. Vote for your favorites and learn about the science behind the art.
Day 1️⃣ of Climate Week Stay tuned for updates from our panel discussions and partner collaborations. Map by @gfiske.bsky.social @permafrostpathways.bsky.social
Spent a rainy but productive day on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. with our Government Relations and @permafrostpathways.bsky.social teams. The importance of using maps to communicate our science was a key topic of discussion. The map tie also received several compliments :)
Join our list between September 8 and October 17, and you’ll be entered into our email raffle for a chance to win a beautiful printed map by Woodwell Climate’s own @gfiske.bsky.social
Returned to my desk this week to find that the kind folks at Google Earth Outreach have uploaded the entire latest version of the ArcticDEM mosaic (v4.1) to the GEE archive. developers.google.com/earth-engine... Presently cleaning ~17tb from my hard drive :)
This map from @cmshintani.bsky.social shows the range of the nomadic Dukha reindeer herders on the high taiga of northwest Mongolia.
If you happen to be visiting Cape Cod next week, stop by, have a drink, and join Sue Natali and I for a discussion about maps 😎 bit.ly/4fKIBXJ

A 17km horseback trek brought us to the Dukha reindeer herders' autumn camp in the West Taiga this week. We're here to co-create maps, sharing the story of their nomadic life and how they're navigating climate change and land use changes. Drone 📸: IG @l.s_ragchaa @permafrostpathways.bsky.social
And we’re already hard at work discussing map information.
Greg Fiske@gfiske.bsky.social · 12mo agoAfter many days of travel: inc four flights, 8 hours of 4x4 off roading, and a half day (and into the night) on horseback, we’ve reached the Dukha reindeer camp on the east taiga of Mongolia, just 10 miles from the Russian border. And they have starlink! 🙂

Excited to be visiting a new (to me) part of the permafrost region this month, with friend/colleague Marina Tonkopeeva of the International Centre for Reindeer husbandry, new collaborators from the Dukha indigenous community, and local science experts. I wonder what maps will come of this trip?!
Yes, we have (temporary) Arctic map tattoos… 😎 #climate #arctic #warming #maps 📸 by Jess Howard
Greg Fiske@gfiske.bsky.social · last yr.Great week at #EsriUC2025 with the @woodwellclimate.bsky.social team! Our @permafrostpathways.bsky.social booth was a hit, making many new connections… and Woodwell maps were everywhere, from the map gallery, plenary, to a main hall mural.

🗺 This week, our team is raising awareness about Arctic change at #EsriUC2025 in San Diego. Today, @cmshintani.bsky.social's “Navigating the new Arctic"—co-produced with Sámi partners at the International Centre for Reindeer Husbandry —is featured in the Map Gallery.
Very much appreciate the shout out by Jack here for Woodwell maps. This particular map is a @cmshintani.bsky.social original that elegantly highlights a small portion of our nearly two decade research in the Congo.
Dr. Dawn Wright@deepseadawn.bsky.social · last yr.Congratulations @gfiske.bsky.social for another great @woodwellclimate.bsky.social map that made the #EsriUC2025 plenary!
Meet our new Cartography Intern, Nicole Pepper! (@maps-and-pepper.bsky.social). Stay tuned for more data visualization projects from her, including this map showing a late June heat dome that brought record temperatures to the Northeast.
A beautiful map with a touch of infographic goodness!

Unpacking the Recent Heat Wave with an animation of NOAA's Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis (RTMA) data 🗺️ Stay cool this summer folks!
Our boreal fire team @woodwellclimate.bsky.social is in D.C. this week to discuss responses+solutions to address the severe northern #wildfires impacting people, animals, and ecosystems. We'll be adding to this resource 🧵, so please let us know what you'd like to see. (🗺️ by @cmshintani.bsky.social)
Taking a quick peek at firesmoke.ca/data/ ... things are heating up.
From extreme storms, to record drought, wildfires, severe flooding, and warming temperatures, the reality is today’s climate is already creating unlivable conditions for communities. These maps by @cmshintani.bsky.social show climate change and its damaging symptoms.
'tis the season... Happy Mountainfilm everyone! 🎥✨ 📸: Palma Caruso
