Text of the page (random words):
be publishing a map of cuba for the first time since 1906 we were also going to be among the first to showcase its new administrative structure this is considered an exciting event for cartographers here at the national geographic why because before any element is mapped we need to assure that it portrays the most up to date information my first stop was cuba s official government website unfortunately it was a bit difficult to navigate especially since the english version of the site was under construction my next stop was the cuban embassy well not exactly since cuba and the u s have not had formal diplomatic relations since 1961 but there is the cuban interests section embedded within the embassy of switzerland here in washington it was there that i was able to obtain the official document gaceta oficial de la republica de cuba no 023 spelling out the upcoming changes to cuba s new administrative divisions artemisa and mayabeque provinces as cuba is organized administratively by province and municipality we were able to delineate the new provincial boundaries pretty easily by using a map of municipalities contained in the most recent nuevo atlas nacional de cuba in the latter stages of my research i was able to reconfirm the delineation of these boundaries with the cuban statistics office la oficina nacional de estadísticas as they were now providing statistics for these two new provinces now i have to keep abreast of the deepwater oil exploration off the northern coast of cuba if possible we would like our map to also showcase the location of such prospective oil fields julie a ibinson map researcher editor national geographic maps posted by mike dyer 2 comments filed under cuba juan valdes reference and wall maps sphere it may 2 2011 the geographer s blog cuba on my mind new and complete map of cuba supplement to national geographic magazine october 1906 ng maps since our first post this blog has addressed the history of cartography at national geographic geographic names toponyms and even the cartographic exploits of james abbott mcneill whistler the american artist best known for the painting whistler s mother i hope that these topics have proven of interest to some if not all of you but what we have not addressed is the personal more intimate side of cartography here at the society unquestionably national geographic is the place to be if you love the science as well as the art of mapmaking our production schedules are full of stimulating and challenging projects that often test our knowledge of the cartographic profession once in a while we will be assigned a project so close and near to our hearts that it becomes an overriding passion several months ago i was given such an assignment a large format 36 x 24 political map of cuba the last time the society published such a map was in october 1906 those of you in the exiled cuban community both in the u s and abroad know the significance of this map anyone who has visited miami s little havana tampa s ybor city or even union city new jersey can t avoid seeing maps of cuba painted on walls plastered on windows or even printed on the sides of grocery bags

under alaska earthquake hawaii japan tsunami sphere it december 6 2010 saving the world with maps frank biasi director conservation and special projects national geographic maps we all know or should know that geography is the study of the earth and its lands features inhabitants and phenomena this breadth of fascinating subjects is what led me to become a geographer 25 years ago the sub discipline of cartography allowed me to combine my earlier interest in visual art with my newfound passion for geography i was lucky to come of age early in the growth of computer mapping technologies including geographic information systems gis seeing the potential of gis to make a difference in the world and to build a career i quickly jumped on that bandwagon i first used gis to do maps and analysis for geography courses and to inventory property parcels around my campus as part of an internship after graduation i worked for a regional planning agency to help design transportation corridors that maximize business opportunities and minimize environmental impacts i went on to work for a state environmental agency where i helped to map all of the wetlands in massachusetts to aid in the permitting of development and construction projects i further developed my geographic thinking and skills working for the nature conservancy where i used gis to help conservation planners and preserve managers map biodiversity and design and execute ways to save it i realized that conservation as with many other fields deals with a wide variety of systems operating across the landscape including biological geological hydrological climatological political transportation and economic systems gis provides a powerful platform to create and combine data layers representing each of these systems in order to make maps and answer questions about the world seeing these maps and answering these questions helps organizations across all sectors make informed decisions about what to do and where to do it recently we as individuals have begun using simple gis tools on our pcs and mobile phones to make maps and answer spatial questions to help us decide where to eat shop travel and invest the growing phenomena of geo browsing and geo searching are enabled by interactive mapping services by google microsoft yahoo mapquest and others these services are becoming increasingly personalized through gps enabled mobile phones and apps that tell us who and what is near us wherever we are the initial applications of these services have been for commercial and social uses however they can also help us discover and decide how we can make a positive difference in the world many people are unaware of the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of dedicated nonprofit organizations working around the world to reduce human suffering protect wildlife and ecosystems preserve cultures and advance scientific knowledge these heroic people and organizations are stepping in to fill critical gaps that governments and businesses are unable or unwilling to fill most of the organizations have very limited financial and human resources to accomplish their objectives yet they still manage to make an enormous difference in the lives of people animals and society at large at national geographic we have begun an initiative called the global action atlas to highlight the work of these heroic nonprofits and to give our audience tangible opportunities to discover and get involved in this work by donating volunteering advocating visiting and sharing with their social networks although it is still a beta site actionatlas org has over 400 on the ground projects by more than 100 reputable nonprofits around the world users can browse projects on an interactive global map or by themes including conservation humanitarian cultures exploration climate change and energy they can also enter keywords to get a list of relevant projects in the u s and around the world every project has an interactive profile where the organization summarizes the issues the project is working to address their goals and the progress being made they also include photos videos documents blogs maps links to more information and lists of similar and nearby projects once a user has found a project that interests them they can become a fan or comment on the project as well as donate volunteer visit or share the project with their facebook friends users can build up a portfolio of their favorite projects to follow and interact with over time thus establishing their own geography of action we plan to add thematic layers to the map viewer such as infant mortality biodiversity and cultural hotspots to help people decide where they should invest their time and resources in making a difference we hope that the global action atlas provides the public a useful and trusted service that advances national geographic s mission of inspiring people to care about the planet by enabling them to turn inspiration into action over the past century national geographic s writers photographers and filmmakers have richly documented places and cultures and the challenges facing communities and the planet our mission programs have funded thousands of field based projects to understand and conserve wildlife and cultures and advance the frontiers of science the global action atlas is the beginning of a new effort to deeply engage our audience in this wonderful but challenged world and to help them become active participants in making it more wonderful posted by ankylosaur 0 comments filed under
