GeoCommons Maker!
Axis Maps worked with FortiusOne to design and build the Flash interface to Maker!, a mapping tool for FortiusOne's GeoCommons, which allows users to access, store, and share geodata, and via Maker to quickly and easily create and share high-quality thematic maps using any of thousands of data sets. My role was to program most of the front end interactivity and map rendering based on our designs. See my blog post for more information on what we hoped to accomplish with Maker.
AsthMap
AsthMap (still in progress) is a map and visualization interface for viewing asthma exacerbations over time and space as indicated by data sent from inhalers outfitted with GPS transmitters. The map is pat of a study led by David Van Sickle in UW's Department of Population Health Sciences. It's done with Flash and ActionScript 3 and implements Modest Maps. I've worked alongside Zach Johnson, with initial contributions by Eve McGlynn and Rob Roth.
Hydrologic Dashboard
The Hydrologic Dashboard, a project for the UW Sea Grant Institute, maps and visualizes streamflow and precipitation data from USGS stations. I've worked on this project with Zach Johnson, who created the first version of the map using Modest Maps and his time series graph code. My primary contributions have been in bringing more data layers to the map, in particular layers from remote web map services.
UW Online Campus Map
The University of Wisconsin-Madison's online campus map was entirely rebuilt in 2005-2006 to become a fast and easy Flash front end to an impressive collection of campus information. Under its lead developer Aaron Erkenswick, I worked with Eve McGlynn and Jamon Van Den Hoek, with direction from Nick Weaver and Professor Mark Harrower. After its completion, I was in charge of the map, making updates as needed and adding a handful of new features. This map was named Runner-up Interactive Map in the ACSM 2007 Design Competition.
UW Print Campus Map
The University of Wisconsin-Madison's printed campus map was redesigned in 2005 by some of my Cartography Lab predecessors. It's an award-winning map that has spawned a new cartographic identity for the campus and represents the best practices of the UW Cartography Lab. In the 2007-2008 academic year I was responsible for maintaining the map. I have made a series of edits and updates, and have also created several special versions of the map tailored to more specific purposes.
Lakeshore Nature Preserve Map
The Lakeshore Nature Preserve map is part of a web promotion of the natural areas on UW-Madison's campus in 2006. The map contains a wealth of information about the Preserve's landscapes, providing tools for all types of visitors to explore the place. I worked with Rob Roth on the bulk of this map alongside Joel Przybylowski, web site designer Melanie McCalmont, and the direction of Professors William Cronon and Mark Harrower. The map won Best Interactive Map in the ACSM 2007 Design Competition.
CincinnatiRoads
CincinnatiRoads is a map interface to a collection of videos recorded while driving along streets in Cincinnati. It's meant as both a way to explore the city and a way to preserve images of the present city for the future. I completed this map for my final project in Mark Harrower's Animated and Web-Based Maps class at UW-Madison, in conjunction with Ethan Hahn, who originally came up with the idea and recorded all the videos. The map won first place in the 2006 NACIS Student Web Mapping Competition.
Cincinnati Subway
I designed this Cincinnati Subway map as my final project in Mark Harrower's Graphic Design in Cartography course at UW-Madison. It presents the history of Cincinnati's doomed attempt at constructing a rapid transit system nearly 100 years ago, an effort which leaves the city today with a section of abandoned subway tunnels. The map takes on the challenge of depicting a century of history in a single, static image by showing the rapid transit loop as four vertically-stacked layers, each representing a different period of its history.
