FEATURED MAPS

These maps showcase current cartographic projects that utilized GIS, Cartography and Remote Sensing. Many required finding the approriate datasets and manipulating these within GIS.


Casamance River - Senegal


This map, in a series of 3, was created for Save Our Seas Foundation, to showcase key areas of Sawfish during a study in Senegal and The Gambia. This map required extensive research and data searching to fill in details on river depth, wetlands and location names. Datasets used: LandSat8, OSM, Google, Navionics, GEBCO and various local datasets.

Climbing in Sinai


Created for The Outdoor Journal, this map features key areas in the Sinai Penisula, hiking routes, contours, climbing routes (created as 3D graphics for publication) and unique sites in the region. This map was creatd with datasets from OSM, Goolge, SRTM, Local Datasets, and local knowledge from the author of the article.
