#30DayMapChallenge 15: Fire

@sylviaimani.bsky.social visualized how Uganda’s transition toward electric cooking aligns with the reach of the national grid. Regions with denser grid networks show a strong correlation with higher household adoption of electric cooking technologies.

Are you running from your responsibilities? On our #30DayMapChallenge day 14 entry, we tell you where!

Atmika Pai maps running clubs with OpenStreetMap, which includes amenities such as water and restrooms. Running club data comes from @shaylaruns (Instagram).

#30DayMapChallenge day 13: 10-min map

Atmika Pai set the clock. "I used Marauders, an AI-powered spatial intelligence tool, to create a heatmap of 311 indoor air quality complaints in NYC" she says. "All it took was downloading the dataset from Open Data and uploading!"

For #30DayMapChallenge day 11, a minimal map from @kennypeng.bsky.social.

Kenny extracts minimal elements from a not-as-minimal-as-it-seems object: the Manhattan street grid. "I show how Manhattan’s numbered grid of streets and avenues is more complicated than you might realize," he says.

#30DayMapChallenge day 10: Air

@jessiefin.bsky.social + Francisco Marmolejo-Cossío visualize the presence of ladrilleras, or brick kilns, which emit pollution across the state. Data cleaned by Jacqueline Calderón and Lizet Jarquin at UASLP.

#30DayMapChallenge day 9 asked us to get off our screens. @annaloganmc.bsky.social's "analog" map is a hand-painted postcard! 📫

"I chose to paint a postcard of a map of Ann Arbor where I currently live showing the Huron River!" she says

#30DayMapChallenge day 8: Urban

Chae Won Lee uses the Overpass API to visualize current coffee shop density in New York with an interactive map. Here's a snippet.

Day 7 of #30DayMapChallenge asked us to think about accessibility. @gsagostini.bsky.social considers two metrics of access simultaneously: distance to a Subway and distance to the subway.

#30DayMapChallenge day 6: dimensions

Atmika Pai dove into the ArcGIS Unity SDK to see how architects & designers plan in 3D. She explored 15 features from geocoding to viewshed analysis, all in an immersive game engine! Here's a video teaser of her map.

We might be a few days delayed on the #30DayMapChallenge, but our day 5 submission spans almost 250 years of history! Our "Earth" map comes from @jennahgosciak.bsky.social, who compared the original ecology of New York City to present day variables.

Last week, we presented the work of our group at the EAAMO conference. So, for our delayed #30DayMapChallenge day 4 (my data) we created a map showing flows from some EAAMO contributors and attendees!

We are slowly catching up to the #30DayMapChallenge!

In our day 3: polygons submission, @zhixuanqi.bsky.social questioned the boundaries and fuzziness of polygons with an animated map that invites us to think about the (not-so-well-defined) idea of neighborhoods.

#30DayMapChallenge day 2: Lines

Atmika Pai interpreted lines in multiple ways. Her map shows how the lines we stand in to wait for the tramway (line) generate flows lines!

#30daymapchallenge day 1: Points

For our first map, we had to visualize spatial data as dots. @gsagostini.bsky.social worked on a dot density map showing dog density in New York City.

1 dot = 1 dog 🐕🐩
