My Fourth Week of the #30DayMapChallange | by Milan Janosov | Nov, 2023

My private tackle the fourth week of the #30DayMapChallange, a every day social problem aimed toward designing thematic maps day-after-day in November.

Since 2019, the Geographic Info System (GIS) and spatial analytics group have been fairly busy every November — due to a enjoyable problem referred to as the #30DayMapChallange. Every year, this problem has a thematic schedule, proposing a subject that ought to be the first directive for map visualisation to be posted on that exact day. Whereas the pre-defined every day subjects actually imply a constraint for the inventive thoughts, additionally they assist contributors to seek out mutual curiosity, share information sources, and specific particular person kinds visually and technologically.

Right here, I want to briefly overview my fourth — and final — week of this problem, detailing and exhibiting the totally different maps I created — often in Python utilizing varied instruments of spatial analytics and geospatial information.

I’ve wrestled loads with this piece, each when it comes to matter and visuals. Ultimately, I defaulted to my background in Physics and determined to attract up the Earth’s magnetic discipline with its Main Field Declination lines. These strains, as magnetic poles, can both be constructive or destructive. The Earth’s magnetic north pole is outlined by these strains — which isn’t all the time up. Its shifting! In recent times, it began migrating from the Canadian Arctic in direction of Russia at a velocity of a number of kilometres per 12 months.

My first 3D map ever — so I stored the information comparatively easy and went for downtown Budapest residence, significantly District V. and District VI. in Pest and visualised its constructing peak profile based mostly on ATLO s Budapest Open Information Atlas. As for the tech half, I used Python as all the time and eventually discovered the fundamentals of Pydeck to create this piece. Benefit from the interactive model here, every constructing…
