Spent a rainy but productive day on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. with our Government Relations and @permafrostpathways.bsky.social teams. The importance of using maps to communicate our science was a key topic of discussion. The map tie also received several compliments :)

Returned to my desk this week to find that the kind folks at Google Earth Outreach have uploaded the entire latest version of the ArcticDEM mosaic (v4.1) to the GEE archive.

A 17km horseback trek brought us to the Dukha reindeer herders' autumn camp in the West Taiga this week. We're here to co-create maps, sharing the story of their nomadic life and how they're navigating climate change and land use changes.

And we’re already hard at work discussing map information.

And we’re already hard at work discussing map information.
After many days of travel: inc four flights, 8 hours of 4x4 off roading, and a half day (and into the night) on horseback, we’ve reached the Dukha reindeer camp on the east taiga of Mongolia, just 10 miles from the Russian border. And they have starlink! 🙂

Excited to be visiting a new (to me) part of the permafrost region this month, with friend/colleague Marina Tonkopeeva of the International Centre for Reindeer husbandry, new collaborators from the Dukha indigenous community, and local science experts. I wonder what maps will come of this trip?!

Great week at #EsriUC2025 with the @woodwellclimate.bsky.social team! Our @permafrostpathways.bsky.social booth was a hit, making many new connections… and Woodwell maps were everywhere, from the map gallery, plenary, to a main hall mural.

Excited to be the Mountainfilm 2025 mural artist in Telluride! My mural, "Cartographies of Arctic Change" (a massive 26.5' x 36'!), visualizes our Arctic research. It's going up now on Telco Coffee, a wall previously graced by JR, Gregg Deal, Banksy, and more. Come see it in Telluride!

This well-loved print on our map table @woodwellclimate.bsky.social is a Venn diagram I created long ago to visualize the synergy btw maps and science.
Ultimately, the relationship is iterative: robust maps fuel better scientific inquiry, which in turn allows us to create even more insightful maps.

Had a great chat today with the legendary Conrad Anker about maps. 🗺️
His perspective on exploration, storytelling, and how maps can shape our understanding of the world was inspiring.

Just a regular reminder: the ArcticDEM is one of the most beautiful spatial datasets out there. I've been working on a large tile set for our #arctic abrupt thaw mapping activities recently and I can't help but stop and take a peek as the data rolls in.

In this case, the data takes all the credit... it's beautiful. I also added a very minor Poster Edge filter in PS. Here's a link and a blender screenshot.
