Give me a concept for a map and I’ll make it! – November 1, 2022 at 06:00PM

Hi r/hiking !

My name is Nick and I’m currently finishing up my University studies studying Geography and Data Science (with a heavy focus on Geospatial Data, GIS, and Earth Science). I want to expand my portfolio beyond what I’ve done in my classes and figured you guys could help me out. Like the title of my post says, comment an idea for a map and I’ll make it to the best of my ability.

I am pretty experienced with Python and ArcGIS Pro so it doesn’t have to be beginner-level stuff and can be on any topic from Climate Change Effects to Pop Culture. I plan on recording and streaming my whole process from concept to finished map product on twitch, and uploading clips to social media. My goal for this is 1) to sharpen my skills to prepare for an eventual career in environmental science/GIS and 2) make content for other students (and professionals) who don’t necessarily have the experience I do but still want to do stuff with maps and data.

I will be cross-posting this post to several other subreddits to get as many ideas as possible. Also, if y’all have any recommendations for interesting datasets to explore or other resources to look into please comment those as well.
