The McCheapest

 Simple map, but so many questions arise: How much does your Big Mac cost?

• Location - these patterns are preety obvious (urban areas, along highways, etc.).
• Patterns of cost - what impacts the price of a Big Mac?
• How are patterns of location & cost perhaps connected to demographic variables such as income, health, race, political affiliation?

Mapping 1,001 Novels

Great example of the digital humanities: 1,001 Novels: A Library of America, presented as an Esri Story map. I tried something like that here for a single book: The Bonobo and the Atheist Story Map.

AI-Generated Maps

Not sure I would call these 'maps' - to me maps really need to represent reality.

• Latent Diffusion (converts text to images)
• AI-generated maps: Copyright, ownership, metadata (from Spatial Reserves)

Carbon Offsets = Cheating Offsets!

 

The Old Man of the Mountain

Pretty nice Esri Story Map: The Old Man of the Mountain in 3D

Could have 'spiced' this up a little with more context and more science!
