I've mentioned it here before, I want to take part in modding and extending the life of some classic game, give back to the community that keeps these games going. This repo was made very recently, and I am thinking I just might. https://github.com/jonathanlinat/quake-leveldesign-starterkit#readme

This new method provides a framework for how to best understand a collection of climate models. The model weights included in this research informed the Fifth National Climate Assessment, a report released on Nov. 14 that gauges the impacts of climate change in the United States. This project also supports the Earth System Grid Federation, an international collaboration led in the U.S. by DOE that manages and provides access to climate models and observed data…”

I've been working on a project for #30DayMapChallenge day 23, "3D", using pysheds, but it's turning out to be difficult. I'm glad I had to figure out how to clip a data layer in QGIS; that will be helpful. So I wrote a tutorial on how to do that: A Smaller, Lighter Dataset: Clip Layers in QGIS, https://shallowsky.com/blog/mapping/qgis-clip-dataset.html
#mapping #qgis

Most of them are traveling withing the US, but others have destinations in Germany, Scotland, Belgium, and New Zealand.

Day 17 of the #30DayMapChallenge was flow. To be honest, I really struggled with todays theme, I had several really cool ideas but there was either no data, no information on how to achieve the idea, or no time.

Eventually, I decided to re use a technique I used from last year's lines map - although had my poor laptop working very hard on a file that took 15 minutes to import and required my fans to be on full pelt 😅

This is a watercourse map of #Ontario #Canada. It is not designed to be particularly functional, however if it wasn't already 1am on a work night I would have loved to play with the colours a bit more.

I really wanted to do a 3d animated map of a single watercourse for this theme, so if anyone knows any good tutorials for such things I'd love to hear about them - happy to use any tech as long as I can download it for free.

What Is The Ogallala Aquifer And Why Is It Running Out Of Water?

"Millions of years ago, sediment from the Rocky Mountains was deposited in the High Plains. Over thousands of years, water dripped below the surface creating an underground water deposit called the Ogallala Aquifer. The water — which spans from South Dakota to Texas and was once the size of Lake Huron — at one point accounted for 30% of the crop and animal production in the U.S…
Although the water source stretches across several states it moves very very slowly. As a result, no interstate compact exists to manage the water in the Ogallala. Instead, neighbors have to band together if they want to restrict pumping…”
