Thanks so much for the feature!

The Sámi are an indigenous people of the Arctic, inhabiting a region known to them as Sápmi.

But the Arctic is changing, bringing new challenges to the Sámi and their way of life.

This map by @cmshintani explores this story of struggle and resolve.

Cartographer extraordinaire Lauren Tierney joined @Esri after making phenomenal maps for the @washingtonpost newsroom.

See some of her work on snow maps, and even learn how to do it: https://t.co/GB35jSCmPm

Despite accounting for only 0.025% of the mass of Earth’s crust, carbon is vital for life on our planet.

@cmshintani and @g_fiske of @WoodwellClimate share a gorgeous map showing where carbon is stored in US forests.

@0_MM70 I mostly use GIS (QGIS or ArcPro) and Adobe (Illustrator and Photoshop)

[Christina Shintani @cmshintani]

A few of the maps and graphics I made in 2024. What climate maps do you want to see next year?

[Christina Shintani @cmshintani]

@BryantHMcGill True!

[Christina Shintani @cmshintani]

@Mohm_d4 mostly a mix of GIS (QGIS or ArcPro), Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, Eduard

[Christina Shintani @cmshintani]

@kaiyanarecords I don't, sorry!

[John Nelson @John_M_Nelson]

Absolutely gorgeous @NatGeo map by @snwalljasper

This map art by @g_fiske depicts the Kuskokwim River at the confluence of the Kwethluk River in Alaska. Three of the @woodwellarctic partner communities are within this image: Kwethluk, Akiachak, and Akiak. The Kwethluk river is also a major focus for Science On The Fly.

Some areas of the United States experienced 400% more rain than the average for September. This map by @g_fiske shows the precipitation anomaly.

[Greg Fiske @g_fiske]

With #Milton looming in the Gulf, I'm still caught up in visualizing #Helene. These are steep edges of cloud bands from GOES-16 (band CMI-C13).

[Atlas (Chenxiao) Guo @CartoGuophy]

#HurricaneHelene is a tragedy. After making a bilingual news map to show its path and precipitation, I felt driven to contribute more, so I made another map to help identifying areas with power outage by comparing satellite images. Hope this effort counts. https://t.co/Rh9MR3ugDM

We’re starting Climate Week with a #MapMonday from @cmshintani that shows what's at stake.

Wildfire danger days, or days considered hot and dry enough for fire, have become a more common occurrence in the Amazon, where previously it was too wet to burn.

Woodwell Climate works locally to identify solutions that can facilitate adaptation to climate change. These maps by @cmshintani are from our Climate Smart Martha’s Vineyard project - a collaboration that develops climate smart land management and risk reduction strategies.
