Maps + Activism = Maptivism

We are putting together a new website called Maptivist.com. It is basically a chronicle of our efforts towards maptivism (maps + activism).

In it I point to some of the projects we have done since the early 1990s beginning with our Santa Cruz Toxic Release Inventory - the first U.S. based interactive toxic maps on the internet.

I have two hopes for this. First, I'm hoping that our work will inspire you. Secondly, I'd like to highlight your maptivist projects. So if you are working on a project, know of one or plan one, let me know. I'd love to describe it and link to it from Maptivist.com.

Climate change and environmental data with Google Earth and Google Maps

Kings College London - Climate change and environmental data with Google Earth and Google Maps. The datasets are developed by members of the EMM Research Group acting as project lead or collaborator. These databases serve static or dynamically updated downloadable datasets for use in a variety of geo-spatial applications.

Much of the spatial data is visualised and downloadable through a Google Earth or Google Maps interface. Region-based network links are used so zoom in to your area of interest to visualise the data. Links are also provided for downloading the raw data in simple formats for use in GIS or remote sensing systems.

These are public domain environmental data aimed at improving the information (raw and visualised) available to the scientific and conservation communities. The data are freely accessible to all for non-commercial use.
