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...

Chart showing Fire Weather Index data over past couple years in LA area.

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~.

Cheat sheet showing challenges and design solutions for responsive maps. Too small to read everything in the preview, but the full, accessible version is available at the link in the post.

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...

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!

A black and white sketch of Mount Hood, seen from a roughly ground level view. It is in a black frame, and on a blue background. Off to the left are a vertically stacked series of smaller images, too small to read. Each is different-looking, but all are black and white miniature versions of posters. The miniature version of the Mount Hood poster is highlighted in white.

Sample images of three monochrome posters each prepared in a line drawing style. One shows Mount Rainier, another Katahdin, and the last one shows Devil's tower. The posters are stacked on top of each other and the Mount Rainier one is partially rolled up.

A detailed zoom in of a hachured representation of the Presidential Range, with peaks labeled.

A vertical-orientation poster titled "The Seven Summits" — it shows black and white sketches of seven different peaks, the highest on each continent. The peak sketches alternate between being positioned on the left and the right side of the poster. Next to each is a label naming the mountain and giving its location. The poster is framed on a blue background.

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!

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. 🙌

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👇🏼

A collage of maps that Christina made in 2024. Topics include permafrost, boreal forests, wildfire, peatlands, and drought.

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

I was (not so secretly) hoping someone in the #Rstats community would have a solution they could pass my way 🫶.

Thanks so much for the tip, AND for having such a nicely organized code repo for folks like myself to snoop in and use to improve!

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)

A barchart showing the top 10 cities winning individual chef awards, with colors for each award

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
