📊 #dataviz #history Who invented the bar chart? Everyone credits William Playfair in his 1785 Commercial and Political Atlas

I give that honor to the cartographer Phillipe Buache for lovely 1767 chart of the heights of water along the Seine.

But there's more ⬇️
A proto bar chart by Buache 1767. Titled: Echelle du Pont de la Touradelle. The columns show the height of water in the months Jan. - Dec, probably averaged over several years. Horizontal lines show some events, like a flood in 1740. A similar chart from 1770 for the Seine, with a numerical table at the top. Portrait of Phillipe Buache

And up next in this same area, some amazing retrogressive-thaw slumps. These occur when ice-rich permafrost is exposed. A vertical headwall retreats as thaw progresses, and a slurry of mud flows downslope. Larger slumps occur in areas like this with lots of buried glacier ice… 1/

Se da porque el aire es obligado a ascender por una montaña (se enfría por la adiabática seca) el aire puede llegar a la saturación (condensación y se enfría por la adiabática húmeda) deja agua. Y luego desciende por la adiabática seca pasada la cima. Al otro lado llega un aire cálido y seco.

#TalDíaComoHoy en 1927, nace Virginia Norwood. Física y matemática, inventó el 1º escáner multiespectral para obtener imágenes de la Tierra desde el espacio. El satélite Landsat 1 y sus sucesores han estado escaneando el planeta gracias al trabajo de la «madre del Landsat».

Now some of my images from 2022 😊📆

They probably aren't as good as the ones from 2024.

The Grand Canyon after snowfall, Lake Winnipegosis in Canada, smog in China and some sea ice in Antarcica.

Since we reached another stretch goal, I've added new designs to my Kickstarter, chosen by backer vote. These are mockups to show how the prints roughly will look. If you want to see the whole set, there's a link on the Kickstarter to a PDF with all the designs! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pin...
A mockup of a cyanotype print title The Seven Summits. Illustrations are drawn of the highest peak on each continent. Each is drawn from white lines, on a blue background. The blue paper is wavy and wrinkled. The cyanotype is in a frame on a green background. A mockup of a cyanotype print of Mount Hood. The peak is drawn from white lines, on a blue background. The blue paper is wavy and wrinkled. The cyanotype is in a frame on a green background. A mockup of a cyanotype print of Cotopaxi. The peak is drawn from white lines, on a blue background. The blue paper is wavy and wrinkled. The cyanotype is in a frame on a green background. A mockup of a cyanotype print of Mount Etna. The peak is drawn from white lines, on a blue background.

"The work of a glaciologist is almost like the work of a plumber, but you're not actually allowed to touch any of the pipes, and you have to just figure out where they are and how this plumbing system works, but without ever getting underneath the sink." Fun interview

#30DayMapChallenge Day 22: 2 colours

I thought I'd make life difficult for myself with this one by being strict about only 2 colours. No grey scales; no 2 colours + background colour. Just 2.

Halftone dots made up of mini moons to map a big moon:

observablehq.com/@jwolondon/t...
Two hemispheres of the moon in yellow against a black background. The title text in the top-left reads "Lunar Albedo" with the subtitle below it reading "Surface reflectance indicated by small moon symbols", Above the second hemisphere to the right is the subtitle "'Dark' side of the moon". Each hemisphere is made up of small yellow dots that when zoomed in are revealed to be small images of the moon at different phases, When grouped together this gives the impression of a continuous variation in lightness, revealing the craters and 'seas' of the moon. Zoomed in portion of the previous image showing the individual yellow moon symbols in more detail revealing that the lightness of each is determined by the moon phase. Darker symbols appear as thin moon crescents, lighter symbols as 'full' moons.

Grace Hopper – computer science pioneer and United States Navy Rear Admiral – was born OTD in 1906.

As far as I’m aware, she is the only person who has both a supercomputer and a US Navy destroyer named after her. The FLOW-MATIC compiler she helped develop was a predecessor to COBOL. 🧪 👩‍🔬

de los muchos colores y de las muchas formas.
Ya en el jardín las aves y los astros exaltan
el regreso anhelado de las antiguas normas
del sueño y de la sombra." Borges
