"Day 15 immediately caught my interest because it prompted reflection on energy consumption. I was also curious to experiment with kepler.gl to explore Uganda’s Census findings. When I connected fire with cooking and energy with the electricity grid, the theme felt like a perfect match," says Sylvia

They say: "We softly overlap point locations of these ladrilleras across Mexico (downloaded from DENUE) and scores for proximity to these kilns across the country, computed as the total inverse distance each ladrillera. This score is presented for each 50km point across the country, on a log-scale."

"I wanted to step into a designer's shoes and see what tools are available to them, so I chose to set up ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity and explore their sample project. The 3rd-person controller lets you navigate cities as a character, while the viewshed analysis calculates sight lines from any point."

Jennah says "I was interested in examining how historical wetlands in the city correspond to modern-day flooding risk. I was inspired by articles that came out shortly after Hurricane Ida, and my own experience with flooding in Hurricane Sandy."

During the conference, we asked people to ping themselves on a collaborative map. We augmented this data with affiliation data from authors and presenters. Our data, rather than "my" data, maybe?

"Back in April, lots of students in my lab took a day to study dog as data. That was our #dogathon. We focused a lot on dog names + breeds, this is yet another fun map I wanted to create. In our thread you can find more map, plots, and dog park simulators."
