Mapping Migrations: Creating a cohesive set of maps for diverse media

Joanna Merson, James Meacham, Alethea Steingisser, University of Oregon InfoGraphics Lab
Cartography occupies a critical role in the communication of the science and conservation of wildlife migration corridors in the American West. Through a close partnership with the Wyoming Migration Initiative, the University of Oregon InfoGraphics Lab designs and produces maps for a wide range of media and audiences. These include atlases, static and animated maps for government reports, academic articles, news publications, social media, and short documentary films. Creating a cohesive set of maps for such diverse media presents many technical and design challenges. In this talk, we will discuss our strategies and processes for this ongoing endeavor.
