#MapMonday On this day in 2021, the #30DayMapChallenge theme was #movement. Dan Harris chose to map drive times to LEGO stores in the UK in this fab and funky map. This year, the theme for the day is 'Outdoors' - what have you created?

For today's Outdoor theme of the #30DayMapChallenge I bring you the #crazyant count on Christmas Island. 1, do you know about crazy ants (they are really called that)? and 2, do you know where Christmas Island is? #geospatialdata #cARTography

“The worst ever.” Those are the stark words of Tom Fletcher Martin Griffiths, about the death and destruction in Gaza. Having worked in the field for decades, he adds “I don’t say that lightly.” Watch our full conversation.

Ah, I'm a bit disappointed as I would have loved to be more active in the #30daymapchallenge this year but just too busy with life, work, travel etc. I aim to catch up on these maps over the next few winter months!

The humanitarian pause has allowed UNRWA to scale up delivery of humanitarian aid across the #GazaStrip, including the north. The humanitarian situation remains catastrophic & requires predictable, continuous aid to alleviate the unbearable suffering of people in📍#Gaza

Yesterday Sweden was dumped with snö and temperature across the country plummeted. ❄️🇸🇪 In Lund, temperatures reached -12!! Sadly Sentinel-2s coverage over Lund is very cloudy, but enjoy the snowy landscape over Göteborg and the skärgård. European Space Agency #satelliteimagery #sweden #maps

As school construction represents a high investment, it is vital to ensure that they are built to last. This 🆕 tool by IIEP & UNOSAT can help ministries of education🌐 make informed decisions on school locations, retrofitting, maintenance or relocation: bit.ly/3xeW87O

As part of our satellite-based monitoring of the impact of the hostilities in #Gaza, see here our focus on the destruction to buildings and agricultural land along the Armistice Demarcation Line in the Gaza Strip, Occupied Palestinian Territory.
