Map by @jessiefin.bsky.social, in collaboration with Francisco Marmolejo-Cossío, Jacqueline Caulderon, and Lizet Jarquin. Data from INEGI.

This map (+ Day 11) is part of their ongoing collaboration continuing some of the work from the 2024 EAAMO social hackathon in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.

"Grains are scattered in clustered patterns, merged as a landmass, converted into a smooth density field using KDE, and blended with edge-fading to mimic coastal shelves. Gaussian filtering adds coherence. Elevation bands and lighting produce naturalistic terrain with sand, grass, rock, and snow."

Elijah says: "In this project I created a generative terrain builder that transforms virtual scatterings of rice-shaped polygons into coastlines, heightmaps, and fully shaded 3D landscapes"

"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."

Gabriel writes: "Many accessibility works do a great job at quantifying disparate access to a single type of service. But urban access implies a relative ordering of things close and far to you. This is a cheeky title that proposes a spatial relationship between transit and food deserts."

"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?
