PUTTING SCIENCE ON THE MAP: A SURVEY OF DATA VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUES FOR SCIENTISTS, COMMUNICATORS, AND DECISION-MAKERS.
Maps can distill a story out of complex information and spark conversation. A well-designed map is a functional blend between art and science that invites a second look. It has the ability to bring people around a table, and facilitate communication and collaboration -- making it a powerful tool for freshwater science. Over the last two decades, the Woods Hole Research Center has worked with river data from around the world and experimented with novel ways to visualize these data for decision support. This talk will provide an overview of tested mapping and data visualization tools, with applications spanning from local watersheds in New England to the large watersheds of the Global River Observatory, from the Amazon to the Arctic. We will demonstrate some commonly used tools and techniques for making effective maps, as well as new interactive applications available via cloud-based interfaces like Google Earth Engine. Along the way, we will introduce resources for finding cartographic tutorials and support; review pitfalls often encountered by scientists in making maps; and share some lessons learned in distributing maps via social media.
