Five classes I took in college.
- Intro to Art (I still think about this class)
- United States History in the 1970s
- Climatology
- German Fairly Tales
- Microeconomics (yuck)
Honorable mention for statistics. Also, taking an econ class dropped my opinion of econ into the toilet. Lol

Here's to great little state schools! 5 classes I took in college
-Revolution
-American Landscapes
-Fascism and WWII
-Calligraphy
-Roots of 20th Century Science
& so many others with boring names but impactful content.

I'd put my little state school education up against just about anybody's.

I made a Median Generations map of the US for a contest, but I missed the deadline. 😅 The generations are based on the median age of census tracts in 2023. The urban areas are tract centroids, and the rural areas were dasymetrically binned to a 10km grid.

For context, before 1980, #Nashville temperatures hit 0°F an average of once per winter. Because of #GlobalWarming, what used to be an annual event has only happened 4 times in the last 30 years.
Similarly, before 1980 we got 12" of snow in an average winter. Since 2000, it's around 4".

Increasing hazard situational awareness is always worthwhile, and disaster maps are never excessive. I made this US #WinterStorm map with a dark background (save battery during outages), a vertical layout (mobile viewing/sharing), colorblind friendliness, and county/city references. Source: #NOAA

I created a quick workflow on how to find the highest value from multiple attribute columns in #QGIS. This is helpful if you have temporal or similar data in a single feature class. In my example, I had over 100 columns to compare.

If you work with temporal or raster data, you may find yourself in a position where you have multiple columns of data for a single feature. I came across this issue recently for a map I am working on,...

This simple label took me over day to make. I am still learning expression builder in #QGIS. I needed the highest value for each feature from over one hundred attribute columns AND the name of the field name. The worst part is I don't know if I will use this info. lol
![Screenshot of QGIS showing the expression to find the highest value from a range of fields. The code reads as:
concat( "PARKNAME", '/',map_akeys(attributes())[array_find(map_avals(attributes()), array_max(array_slice(map_avals(attributes()), 10, 148)))], '/' , array_max(array_slice(map_avals(attributes()), 10, 148)))](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vxgrriczkvh2dojfuogcju2n/bafkreibba47gbphqr5oufxcsf7mw23rpzgdgnx2oowf3g5pvyeh5ue2ueu@jpeg)

Labeling maps is a peaceful practice, and often is half the job of a cartographer. I'm sure seas will be drained and skies will be blackened so that AI can do it in our stead in a year or two, but for now, I always enjoy looking at a "map minus map" version of completed work.

A work-in-progress map of the Forests in the lower US. I haven't decided if I am going to display and label the National Parks and/or Forests yet. Things get pretty busy on the West Coast.
The legend is going to be a nightmare and I am not looking forward to it. 😂

Testing out another method. Instead of applying the gradient across the entire feature layer, I applied a gradient to each individual plot line. This gives the plot lines a more 3D like effect. This is still a work in progress.

Can you tell that today is a solstice by the tilt of the Earth? Yes. At a solstice, the Earth's terminator -- the dividing line between night and day -- is tilted the most.
