myRTK Toxic Maps and Information for Mobile Devices
Back in the 1990s MapCruzin.com created the interactive maps for EDF's Scorecard project. We were contracted to do this because we created the first U.S. based interactive toxic maps on the internet - the Santa Cruz Toxic Release Inventory. Several years ago EDF quit mapping toxics, but scorecard is still a viable source for health effects related to toxics. Since the EDF project, we have continued to map toxics. We did guite a bit of work for the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition and many projects as part of our interest in bringing Right-to-Know and toxic chemical facility release information to communities in easy-to-use formats.
Some of our outreach efforts include:
Some of our outreach efforts include:
- ToxicRisk.com - Google Maps mashup project based upon EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) data released March 19,2009 and schools in the U.S.
- 2008 Toxic Release Inventory TRI National Analysis.
- Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) 2007 Google Earth Maps.
- 2004 Toxic Release Inventory Maps in ESRI Shapefile Format .
- Interactive 1997 TRI Maps and Data.
- TRI Explorer - Humboldt County Facilities Reporting 2004 Toxic Releases.
- TRI Total Increase 1997 - 1998 & Ranking.
Screenshots from myRTK Toxic Maps and Information for Mobile Devices
Recently EPA released their myRTK application for mobile devices. Here are some screentshots along with brief descriptions. Learn more about myRTK.
myRTK Introductory screen.
My search of "City of Industry, CA" returned this google map.
A click on the list button produced a list of the 29 facilities on the map.
Going back to the original map and zooming out resulted in many more facilities.
Now many more facilities are listed. The list always reflects the facilities show on map.
One way to view information about a facility is to click on the arrow to the right of its name. Doing so results in this screen.

Climate Change Global Warming Shapefiles - Changes in Temperature and Precipitation from 2010 through 2099
IPCC 4th Assessment scenario A2 temperature and precipitation GIS shapefile map layers for the years 2010, 2020, 2030, 2040, 2050, 2060, 2070, 2080, 2090 and 2099. The data points are spaced approximately 4.5 km (2.8 miles) apart. The data covers the lower 48 United States. Each point includes data for each of the 12 months of the year, making comparisons and calculations of increases or decreases between months and decades possible.
About the A2 Scenario
The A2 storyline and scenario family describes a very differentiated and heterogeneous world. The underlying theme is self-reliance and preservation of local identities. Emphasis on economic, social, and cultural interactions between regions is less than in other storylines. Fertility patterns across regions converge very slowly, which results in high population growth. Economic development is uneven, the income gap between now-industrialized and developing parts of the world does not narrow, and per capita economic growth and technological change are more fragmented and slower than in other storylines. Main characteristics A2 scenario include: high population growth, medium GDP growth, high energy use, medium-high land use changes, low resource (mainly oil and gas) availability, slow pace and direction of technological change favoring regional economic development.
In addition to each GIS shapefile map layer, you get base map layers including cities, roads, rivers, states and water bodies.

Climate Change Impacts in the United States Charts, Maps and Graphs
The disasterous BP gulf oil spill helps bring the effects of our carbon based energy generation into focus. Our carbon-based energy consumption not only has immediate effects like oil spills, surface and air pollution, but also long-term effects like global warming and climate change.
At MapCruzin.com we are working on sets of climate change and global warming GIS shapefiles. The data points are spaced approximately 4.5 km (2.8 miles) apart and are based on the IPCC 4th Assessment A2 Scenario. In the future we will be creating more shapefiles based on other IPCC scenarios.
The IPCC A2 scenario based GIS shapefiles will be available this week at MapCruzin.com. In the meantime, check out the following related charts:
