Söderfjärden impact crater is the best sample of a hexagonal impact structure on Earth.

It occupies a 22 square-kilometer piece of coastal real estate in western Finland near the Gulf of Bothnia, the Baltic Sea’s northern arm 🧪

I made this giant 3x6-foot map of the #GreatSmokyMountains to hang up in our house. Worked on it in the background over a the course of a couple of years. The last touch was dialing in the hypsometric tinting, which I think finally pulled it all together.

Image of wall map of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Title and text in the top left, then the park fills up the core of the map with an elevation profile of the Appalachian Trail in the lower right. Green hues indicate lower elevations, tans indicate middle elevations, and the paler gray shows the highest peaks. Closeup of the area around Kuwohi (formerly Clingmans Dome) in the heart of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Green hues indicate lower elevations, tans indicate middle elevations, and the paler gray shows the highest peaks. The purple line is the Appalachian Trail. The red line is the Mountains to Sea Trail. Closeup of the area around Mt Le Conte in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Green hues indicate lower elevations, tans indicate middle elevations, and the paler gray shows the highest peaks. The purple line is the Appalachian Trail. Closeup of the area around Eagle Creek on the North Carolina side of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Blue areas show arms of Fontana Lake. Green hues indicate lower elevations, tans indicate middle elevations, and the paler gray shows the highest peaks. The purple line is the Appalachian Trail. The green line is the Benton MacKaye Trail

Got this working with my (still unannounced except for here) QGIS plugin. Not as fast as Overture since the files themselves aren't spatially partitioned (yet), but a big improvement from the previous release, as it's GeoParquet and works! Cool to see it on Hugging Face.

Anybody up to test out my new QGIS plugin and confirm it works? I'm waiting for approval on plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgis... but you can download and add as a zip from github.com/cholmes/qgis.... Enables download of the viewport of Overture, source.coop or any GeoParquet URL.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 29: Data: Overture

Hadn't used Overture before, so had fun with this challenge looking at a classic north-south divide in British culture.

A chance for some graph theory leading to a paths connecting every single Greggs and Pret in Britain.

observablehq.com/@jwolondon/t...
A map of mainland Britain on the left with two large circular insets to its right. The title of the map in the top-left reads "Steak Bake or Avo and Herb Wrap?" with the subtitle below it reading "Given a choice of two, is my closest food outlet a Greggs or a Pret A Manger?Regions coloured red if their closest food outlet is a Pret or blue if it is a Greggs.The outlets themselves are shown as coloured dots". The main map appears dominantly pale blue with several hundred white polygonal boundaries (Voronoi cells) dividing the map. There are some small patches of red cells representing the neighbourhoods of Pret stores. The text next to the upper circular inset reads "Newcastle is known asBritain's 'Sausage roll capital'.Greggs was founded here in1951 in Gosforth High Street and the stores remain popular and are seen as part of the city's identity. The region has over 70 Greggs outlets.There are just two Pret A Manger shops here". The inset shows the Newcastle region with the river Tyne in dark blue cutting across it approximately midway. There is a line network of darker blue edges connecting white dots representing Greggs stores forming a tree-like pattern radiating from the centre. There are two pale red regions representing the two Pret A Manger stores. The lower inset has text below it reading "The first Pret A Manger was opened in Hampstead, London in1983 but traded for just 18 months. Other branches opened up in the late 1980s specialising in handmade 'natural' food.Today there are over 290 of them in London." The inset to its right has many more red cells but still only about a quarter of the overall area. There is a denser tree-like network of red lines connecting several hundred small white dots representing each Pret outlet.

1/ Influenza wastewater activity levels are currently low across the US, aside from conspicuous areas in CA where #H5N1 is spreading in dairy cows.

A deeper dive into the Wastewater Scan data paints a very concerning picture and should add to our sense of urgency.
Map shows the location of wastewater sampling locations around the US. Most of the sites indicate low levels and are colored blue. However, there are a number of sites in CA with high levels and few other scattered sites around the US with medium/high levels and are colored in orange/red
