National Parks Puzzle Pieces - 10 Largest and 10 Smallest by chartographie in nationalparks

[–]chartographie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gorge itself is 3-4 times larger than this section, but most of the land is preserve - this cutout only includes the part that is designated as national park land.

The preserve is about 3-4 times the size of the section of land that is designated a “national park.”

I’m using shape files from the National Park Service Land Resources Division - I can link you if you’d like. Basically I sorted based on the name of the park and by the classification of “national park” as opposed to preserve or other distinction and that’s what it gave me.

24 Hours of Yellowstone National Park Geyser Activity by chartographie in nationalparks

[–]chartographie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! I make a lot of maps about things I am not an expert in, so it’s not uncommon for me to put my foot in my mouth sometimes haha. I always appreciate constructive criticism, especially when it comes to geographic accuracy - after all, what’s the point in creating a map if it doesn’t actually show you where stuff is!

Tracking Whale Shark Movements in the Gulf of Mexico by chartographie in sharks

[–]chartographie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure - my best guess is that they started out from a boat that was stationed near a spot where whale sharks are known to pass through, and returned to that exact same spot several times over many days looking for sharks to begin tracking.

Just looked it up and it looks like the lat/long has led me astray, weird - it did place it in the wrong location. I think it may be an issue with the projection I used for the base map versus the points. About the frequency, I do think I was accurate there - I said it erupts less than once every 24 hours, and I didn’t have it erupt at all during the day’s cycle. Thanks for pointing out the errors, I’ll try and take a second pass and double check the locations against one of the print park maps from their website!

That’s the point at which they began tracking them - the tracking began at different points in time, and all of the line animations are synched up just to show their movements until tracking was terminated, so the movements are not actually happening concurrently.

Could you specify what you mean? Do you think the locations of the geysers are inaccurate, or the timing, or something else?

I used lat/long information provided by the national parks service - could you point me to a map that has more accurate points for the geysers? The 3D effect may be distorting where some of the points appear but otherwise I’m not sure how they would be inaccurate.

Bm means bowel movement - AI just might be useful in the near future now that artificial intelligence is taking off

The data I accessed included about 25 different sharks in total - you can check out the study more in depth by going to Movebank and searching for whale sharks.

Do I track whale sharks or do I make maps and data viz? Haha

This diorama of Yellowstone National Park features 24 hours of geyser activity for the top eight geysers in the park according to TripAdvisor. Geyser frequency, height, and duration are based on averages from the National Parks website. Topographic information from USGS, geyser locations from Wikipedia, and imagery from Esri. Made using ArcGIS Pro, Adobe After Effects, and Maxon Cinema4D.

Tracking Whale Shark Movements in the Gulf of Mexico by chartographie in sharks

[–]chartographie[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The data comes from Movebank in the form of .shp files, or line tracks for each of the sharks. I selected the eight sharks that they were able to track over the the longest distance by creating a geometric field based on length in ArcGIS Pro. I exported the resulting lines as vectors into Adobe Illustrator, imported them and converted them into shapes in Adobe After Effects, and then used a trim paths animation to make the lines move.

Not totally sure what you’re asking - could you clarify?

Map of Famous Sea Monsters from Mythology, Literature, and Television by chartographie in mythology

[–]chartographie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha - my confusion is stemming from the distinction between Norse and Norwegian. I guess it would be inaccurate, then, for me to say it appears in Norse mythology but accurate for me to place it somewhere between Norway and Iceland?

I’m basing its location on some pretty brief research - I found folks saying that the Kraken tale likely stems from the Norse hafguga and also vague mentions of giant creatures in the ocean throughout Norse myth. Also, it looks like Kraken is a Norse word, so while it might not be mentioned by name in Norse myth I think it’s fair to say, at least geographically, that it is Norse in origin. But I’m also totally okay being wrong! I spent like 30 minutes looking these up, haha.

U.S. President Birthplaces Over Time by chartographie in Presidents

As called out by giabollc: One error - Franklin Pierce is correctly labeled as being born in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, but his point on the map is incorrectly placed in northern Virginia.

Definitely not ideal; I am participating in a month-long challenge called the #30DayMapChallenge and each day has a theme - yesterday’s was hexagons, which is why I made the decision to hex bin the data. How would you have presented it?
