Aquila FlowerThe prompt for Day 15 of the #30daymapchallenge is "My Data: Map something personal. Map data from your own life." I wondered, what is the farthest away from my home in Bellingham, WA that I have traveled? Here is a map of towns I have visited that are the farthest from Bellingham. The lines show great circle routes and I chose four destinations to represent following a great circle route departing to the NW, SW, NE, and SE from Bellingham.
For the last day of the #30daymapchallenge, the theme is "Favorite" and I would like to take this opportunity to share a preview of a map from my forthcoming Salish Sea Climate Change Assessment. This map shows the 1901-2012 linear trends in total annual precipitation at climate stations with long, continuous records in the Salish Sea Bioregion.

For #30daymapchallenge Day 29's theme of "Population", I made this map showing the surprisingly small area home to over half of the humans living in the Salish Sea Bioregion.
This map shows the highest population density 2010 US Census tracts and 2011 Canadian Census subdivisions.
You can explore human population characteristics in the Salish Sea Bioregion in more detail through the Human Populations chapter of the Salish Sea Atlas: arcg.is/0WaK51.
For #30daymapchallenge #Day27's theme of "Dot", I made this map of the number of people living in each US Census tract and Canadian Census subdivision in the Salish Sea Bioregion. This map shows 2010 data for the US and 2011 data for Canada.
You can explore human population characteristics in the Salish Sea Bioregion in more detail through the Human Populations chapter of the Salish Sea Atlas: arcg.is/0WaK51.
For #30daymapchallenge #Day24's theme of "Black and White", I made this map of the "Salish Sea Bioregion At Night" using NASA's Black Marble data.
For #30daymapchallenge #Day21's theme of "Raster", I made this map of Impervious Surface coverage in the Salish Sea Bioregion using data from the Salish Sea Atlas.
You can explore impervious surfaces and other land cover types in more detail in the "Land Cover and Land Use" chapter of the Salish Sea Atlas (https://arcg.is/5nPei).
For #30daymapchallenge #Day20's theme of "Outdoors", I made this map of Parks and Protected Areas in the Salish Sea Bioregion using data from the Salish Sea Atlas.
You can explore land ownership and protected areas in more detail in the "Land Ownership and Management" chapter of the Salish Sea Atlas (https://arcg.is/1n4O9z1).
For #30daymapchallenge #Day19's theme of "Five Minute Map", I made this map of Streams in the Salish Sea Bioregion using data from the Salish Sea Atlas.
You can learn more about the rivers and watersheds of the Salish Sea in the Freshwater chapter of the Salish Sea Atlas (https://arcg.is/1jaWX80).
Sticking to only five minutes is really hard!
For #30Daymapchallenge #Day18 's theme of "Atmosphere", I made this map of average total annual precipitation in the Salish Sea Bioregion using data from the Salish Sea Atlas.
The rugged and diverse topography of this region creates dramatic variations in average annual precipitation.
You can explore the current climate of the Salish Sea Bioregion in more detail through the Climate chapter of the Salish Sea Atlas: https://arcg.is/jaGKz.
For #30DayMapChallenge #Day17's theme of "Flow", I shared this map of major rivers and ocean surface circulation patterns in the Salish Sea.
The flow of freshwater from land to sea and the flow of marine water from the Pacific Ocean into the Salish Sea create a complex pattern of estuarine circulation.
You can learn more in the Freshwater chapter of the Salish Sea Atlas (https://arcg.is/1jaWX80).
