Putting Science on the Map

Mapping the front lines of climate change ~ fusing data, science, and the art of cartography

BREWSTER, MA — Maps can distill a story out of complex information and spark conversation. In the stages of science, there’s a continuum of map solutions that aid in both the understanding of complex topics and the ability to reach broad audiences. From using participant-led mapping with Arctic Indigenous communities to creating maps of climate change impacts for a global audience, the possibilities of maps in the realm of our science are endless.

Join Greg for an exploration of commonly used tools and techniques for making beautiful maps, as well as common challenges, success stories, and failures, faced in nearly two and half decades of making maps for Woodwell Climate Research Center scientists.

Mr. Fiske is the Director of Geospatial Technology at Woodwell Climate Research Center in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. As a geographer and cartographer, he specializes in GIS, remote sensing, and data visualization. Fiske bridges art and science, creating impactful maps to communicate complex climate data, particularly regarding Arctic ecosystems.
