Airports that are served by more airlines, like Jakarta and Narita, are shown more prominently. Published by Eugene Alvin Villar on Mastodon. A map charting UK proximity to coast through polygons. The farer in the land the lighter the polygons get, closer to the coast they get darker. The map is accompanied by a column chart depicting population in millions in each polygon. The closer to the UK coast, the more people live. Published by Helen McKenzie on LinkedIn. This image shows agricultural plots surrounding the city of Brawley, United States, derived from satellite-based NDVI Normalised Difference Vegetation Index time series.
