The new "New Zealand Tsunami Database" of @gnsscience is an updated version of the old "New Zealand Palaeo Tsunami Database" of @niwa_nz which, as the name suggests, also includes prehistoric records
New: app.dumpark.com/nz-tsunami-d… (preliminary)
Old: ptdb.niwa.co.nz

Thanks to new @EQCNZ & @gnsscience data, we now know which parts of NZ are most at risk from tsunami. "When you look at the map its quite heavily distributed around our east coast in particular," says @UCNZEarthEnv @Dr_TRob. bit.ly/3o8U8Gi
Main upgrade was the inclusion of source events responsible for triggering the tsunamis and linking them to the tsunami records and observations on land

Ich kam bislang noch nicht dazu, dieses Hammer-Programm angemessen zu würdigen - jetzt aber:

Should line interpolation for time series data always be linear? Of course, lines should pass through the data points, but curves are so much nicer.
Much better of course with an image preview showing the 3 principal science layers:
- Floating plastic concentration (Eriksen et al 2014)
- Mismanaged plastic waste (Lebreton & Andrady 2019)
- River emissions (Lebreton et al 2017)

Have been pretty silent here lately but today we are especially excited about the launch of the Global Plastic Navigator we developed with WWF Germany to show the extent of marine plastic pollution, as well as WWF's efforts and countries' commitments to combat it.
Die Ozeane sind voller Müll. 🌊🧃😖Man kann sie sich fast als Plastiksuppe vorstellen, mit großen Plastikteilen und kleinstem #Mikroplastik. Aber wo sind die Quellen? Und wo geht das Plastik hin? Unsere interaktive Karte zeigt's euch: plasticnavigator.wwf.de/#/de #StopPlasticPollution

Wicked demonstration by @geo_spatialist of what is possible with quality elevation data, a historic map, the right tools and mad skills. This rendering is recreating the perspective of a photo taken in Glacier National Park with Mt Carter towering in the back
This seem about right, @tmfrnz? I hope you like my photoshop work. It's virtually seamless. Graphic design is my passion. /s

📽️ Great video from @BritishPathe about the process of mapmaking in 1961. I think it's about the @OrdnanceSurvey 🗺️
