Thank you to everyone who attended my talks at #FedGIS2025! This was my first time presenting at an Esri conference and giving live demos, and I had a blast. In the 'How Maps Work' presentation, I did a quick demo mapping cherry trees around the convention center... (1/2)

First @capitalweather.bsky.social cherry blossom forescast is out! www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

This is top of my reading list once #FedGIS2025 ends this week. The latest from Esri cartographer Andy Skinner ❤️ storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/6641...

🚨Attention cartographers and geographers!🚨 @nacis.bsky.social is looking for more mentors to sign up for their mentorship program. This is an opportunity to support our mapping community and help it grow. 🚨Deadline Feb. 17🚨 nacis.org/initiatives/...

The Esri FedGIS conference is approaching, Feb. 24-26. I'll be co-presenting for: ArcGIS: How Maps Work ArcGIS Pro: Mapping and Visualization ArcGIS Pro: User Type Management When not presenting I'll be in the showcase, I hope to see as many of you as possible ❤️ www.esri.com/en-us/about/...

New in the portfolio: three monochrome #maps I made for am upcoming book. somethingaboutmaps.com/Into-the-Ice I also did a livestream about these recently: www.youtube.com/live/KK5rayw... Usually presses require my #monochrome work to be more restrained and simple, but this one let me stretch.

DC local news alert!

Oh hey there @bostonglobe.com thanks for the awesome profile www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/06/m...

Map of the Day: Denali, the highest peak North America at 20,310 feet (6,190 m). Centuries ago, the Koyukon people gave it the name which means ‘Great One.’ Popular among climbers, the mountain is within Denali National Park.

People throughout California are dealing with threats of scattered flooding, mudslides, heavy snow and hazardous travel as another powerful storm lashes the West Coast. Here's what to know.

Went searching for @pinakographos.bsky.social 's 'The Serene Practice' playlist this morning ❤️ www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Happening in a few hours! Come on by so that I'm not just talking to myself. youtube.com/live/KK5rayw...

Five Washington Post visual stories from this week: 1. The quick reaction from the graphics and others on the DCA accident. Great example on how working with visual teams in DC, West Coast, Asia and Europe can help have a complete visual page early morning. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

It's 19°F outside where I am (but feels like 10! 🫠). Publishing a blog post on mapping snow felt right... 🥶 www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/... #mapping #cartography

Major cartography throwback!! ❤️

NEW: Maps showing estimated building damage from LA fires and latest fire perimeters and evacuation areas, huge thanks to Jamon Van Den Hoek and Corey Scher for the data. Read @grimeslikedimes.bsky.social's account www.ft.com/content/9400...

Powerful Santa Ana winds and dry conditions contributed to the rapid spread of several brush fires in Los Angeles. Dangerous fire conditions were expected to persist through the evening of January 8 and into January 9. 🧪 🛰️ Aqua MODIS & Sentinel 2 earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/15379...

(1/n) For those following the fires in Southern California, I am threading some of the interactive maps I have found helpful for tracking what is going on. I have family that has been evacuated and am following very closely:

Our team is on the ground covering the wildfires ravaging L.A. County. You can find the latest updates in our live blog, which is open to all. #PalisadesFire #EatonFire

Decided to map the recent Midwest/Mid-Atlantic snow storm with a color ramp I have been tinkering with. Really cool pattern across the states. Outside is covered in snow here in D.C.! #mapping #cartography

Snow depth across Oregon, as of today. #mapping #cartography

Great write-up by Andy Skinner on setting yourself up for success working on print projects! Andy has a bunch of other amazing 'how-to' pieces on map-making I recommend as well: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/3b7f...

A few of the maps and graphics I made in 2024. What climate maps do you want to see next year?

Really cool mapping by @hannazakharenko.bsky.social, visualizing increased brightness from holiday lights in the month of December 💡 www.houstonchronicle.com/projects/202...

Was scrolling through @washingtonpost.com homepage this morning and spotted this gem by @moriartymaps.com! Snowy maps! www.washingtonpost.com/weather/inte...

Experimenting with some @geo-coe.bsky.social style cartography! Elevation around Nehalem Bay and River in Oregon.

Throwback to this map by @jscarto.bsky.social of where to find Christmas trees in the lower 48 and Hawaii. Really love that this map includes USFS lands that offer Christmas tree permits. That's how we got our tree growing up! www.maps.com/where-christ...

My most thorough tutorial yet - I share tricks I've learned over the years for making well-designed sharable Adobe Illustrator symbol libraries. Also, download for free the library I create in this demo. Learn to make icon design that you can reuse, edit, and share :) youtu.be/7O2Kj2UGBTY?...
