Les scientifiques chinois ont réalisé une nouvelle carte géologique à l’échelle 1:5 000 000 de la Lune entière, intégrant les dernières découvertes du programme chinois d’exploration lunaire Chang’e afin d’offrir un meilleur soutien scientifique à l’exploration et à la recherche lunaires futures.

What do you want to know about territorial control in Somalia?

Description et interprétation de La carte rouge de la Hongrie
🔸Contexte / Cette carte, réalisée par le comte Pál Teleki en collaboration avec Zsigmond Bátky et Károly Kogutowicz, fut publiée en 1920, à l’occasion de la Conférence de paix de Paris.

In 1918, the US Coast and Geodetic Survey attempted to find the center of what was then the United States’ (lower) 48 states. Because they lacked the computing power to process the complex geometry of an irregular, 3D landmass, they placed a carefully scaled map of the 48 conterminous states onto a uniform piece of cardboard. After cutting it out, they determined the geographic center by finding the exact point at which the map balanced perfectly on a pin.

🚆 Timetable Change 2025 – Carinthia’s new public transport network!

The Koralmbahn opens in December 2025, marking a new era for regional mobility.

I designed the new official network map for Verkehrsverbund Kärnten, including updated S-Bahn and bus routes and a new, logical numbering system for all lines.

🎂 OTD 2014: publication of the discovery of Laniakea

"A map of the local Universe has enabled researchers to find the boundaries of Earth's home supercluster, which they name Laniakea."

🚀 Ah yes, the groundbreaking #cartography of ancient coins and inscriptions, because everyone’s been desperately needing a treasure map to the trivia nobody asked for. 🗺️ Just follow the #Hesperia breadcrumbs, and maybe you’ll find a lost civilization—or just your way to a history lecture no one wanted. 😂

Voilà, enfin mise en vente. J'en suis assez satisfait, en fait. Il s'agit des préalpes du Nord, de la Chartreuse à la Clusaz, avec un miveau de la mer à 1000m. La Chartreuse est une île, les Bauges un archipel. Le mode opératoire est toujours le même : QGIS, GIMP, Blender.

This map is the one that is now being championed by retired Supreme Court Justice #AntonioCarpio alongside the 1734 Pedro Murillo Velarde map to bolster the territorial claims of the #Philippines over Scarborough Shoal and the Kalayaan Islands.

The map was first published by the Direccíon de Hidrografía (Hydrography Directorate) of #Spain 🇪🇸 in 1875 and then republished by the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 War Department in 1902 with annotated telegraph and cable lines.

For the past year, I've been collaborating with production designer Alex McDowell and the #JunkConsortium, a network of academic worldbuilders--designers and visionaries imagining a future world built on the detritus of our collapsed society.

This is an example of the geographic #worldbuilding techniques I show to the students--Los Angeles and the Hollywood Hills combined with Arizona's #BarringerCrater.

Very happy to announce that our exploratory study about map #reproducibility in geoscientific publications is now online: https://doi.org/10.4230/LIPIcs.GIScience.2023.6.

I will be presenting our key findings and the journey to reach them in the upcoming #GIScience2023 conference! If you are attending and interested in #reproducible research, come by and join the discussion :)

Now, what a nice isochrone map is this?

I like the twist that the colors first mark whether it is faster to get there by train or by car.

I am a #nonbinary, #queer, #disabled #sciencefiction #writer. I have #LongCovid, and it sucks. I am still working on diagnoses for other possible #chronicillness.

My Elivera world, of which most of my writings are set, is located here: http://www.worldanvil.com/w/elivera3A-the-lost-ones-aidanbird

My Elivera world is a solarpunk world, where I explore various #AntiCapitalist ways of existing. Capitalism has never existed on Elivera and will never exist. A lot of the "nations" of Elivera are run by horizontal democracy and are experiments with collectives (some anarchist in bent and others experiments with communist approach to society).

I keep a database of saved #Covid studies and articles. I update it 2x a month. It's on #notion. I set it up with tags. Link: https://bit.ly/AidansCovidDatabase

Important Note about my Elivera World: It's a solarpunk world, where I explore various #AntiCapitalist ways of existing. Capitalism has never existed on Elivera and will never exist. A lot of the "nations" of Elivera are run by horizontal democracy and are experiments with collectives (some anarchist in bent and others experiments with communist approach to society).

P.S. If you want to help, I'll need to vet you first. Feel free to share and let me know if there's some newer articles/studies you'd like to see saved here.

Other Important notes: I'll never shut up about #Covid. It's a #justice and #access issue. Please #maskup as this is airborne (plus masking will decrease chances of catching other airborne diseases and decrease allergens). Please push for #CRBox and other #AirFilter devices to be placed in all interior spaces. If we work together in solidarity, we really can push back this disease and slow (if not stop) the mass death and disablement that is currently happening!

Mask up and stay safe friends. Thanks for reading.
