I've been trying to do a couple of things lately--
1--Make animated before/after images of the #Petrofuture maps, and 2--post more on my website.

Here they are, working together! The Petrofuture of Paris

A map from the past transforms into a vision of the future

I did an installation of #Petrofuture maps at the Science After Dark event at the Pacific Science Center last night.

I love doing these installations. It’s such a different vibe than just posting images online.

Here's the walk-through of the #Petrofuture Gallery at Harbor Island Studios...

More photos from the #Petrofuture gallery at Harbor Island Studios. This was an absolute fucking triumph, and we're doing it again tonight.

Details from the central London #Petrofuture map--66m sea level rise layered on top of a vintage #Esso gas station map.

All the land is underwater. The little islands are the buildings that poke above the sea level.

Usually I only model the landforms for the SLR maps. The issue with central London -- there were no landforms to show. It was all below 66m.

So this one is special. I used 1m lidar-derived data, and show any buildings that stick up above the sea level.

Here is #Petrofuture #London. Which architectural icons can you recognize?
