The Plan to Map Illegal Fishing From Space
"Illicit fishing goes on every day at an industrial scale. But large commercial fishers are about to get a new set of overseers: conservationistsâand soon the general publicâarmed with space-based reconnaissance of the global fleet.
Crews on big fishing boats deploy an impressive arsenal of technologyâfrom advanced sonars to GPS navigation and mapping systemsâas they chase down prey and trawl the seabed. These tools are so effective that roughly a third of the worldâs fisheries are now overharvested, and more than three-quarters of the stocks that remain have hit their sustainable limits, according to the FAO. For some species, most of the catch is unreported, unregulated, or flat-out illegal.â

Mapping the loudest/quietest places in the United States
â[âŚ] Based on 1.5 million hours of acoustical monitoring from places as remote as Dinosaur National Monument in Utah and as urban as New York City, scientists have created a map of noise levels across the country on an average summer day. After feeding acoustic data into a computer algorithm, the researchers modeled sound levels across the country including variables such as air and street traffic. Deep blue regions, such as Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado, have background noise levels lower than 20 decibelsâa silence likely as deep as before European colonization, researchers say. Thatâs orders of magnitude quieter than most cities where noise levels average 50 to 60 decibels [âŚ]â

An Illustrated Cross Section of Hong Kongâs Infamous Kowloon Walled City
"The Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong was built graduallyâbuilding on top of buildingâover time. Without a single architect, the ungoverned and most densely populated district became a haven for drugs, crime and prostitution until it was demolished in 1993. Photo documentation of the site exists but for the most part much of the inner-workings of the city remained a mystery."

Our aerial photography provides a seamless, full-colour survey of the whole of Great Britain and are we are committed to maintaining the most up to date aerial photography dataset by re-flying the entire country on a rolling update cycle:
12.5cm resolution for the majority of England, South Wales and Central Scotland
25cm in other more rural locations in Great Britain
5cm resolution for London and other select locations
We are always looking for enthusiastic, charismatic and hard working people to join our team. If you think you have what it takes to work for the UK's leading supplier of aerial photography and geoinformation products and services, then please look at the jobs currently available.
Our brand new Pinterest board has gone Ordnance Survey overboard! From jewellery and ornaments made from Ordnance Surveys to the simple appreciation of the maps themselves, if you're interested in them head over to our board and start pinning!
Many of us wouldn't class cartography as a hobby...well that's about to change. From a map displaying where the most gingers live to one that shows what the yanks thinks of the rest of the world, these maps are sure to give you a chuckle and might just be interesting!
We take a look at some great images from the past and present of some of the most wonderful UK places.

Ptolemyâs World Map
"With its rich colours and its distinctive elegant roman type, the 1482 Ulm Ptolemy was one of the finest and most ambitious printing projects of the fifteenth century: a masterpiece of the printersâ art, with its bold, decorative maps. The world map was signed at its head as the work of Johannes Schnitzer de Armsheim, who may have cut all the maps, and the colophon specifically credits the contribution of Donnus Nicolaus (âOpus donni Nicolai Germani secundum Ptolomeum finitâ).
The annotations are in three different hands, two of which are later sixteenth-century elegant italic hands. Notes at the end of the text before the maps refer to discoveries in the New World, and some of the maps have later place names added, such as Ungaria and Transylvania, Suebia and Bavaria. The notes alongside the listing of place names concentrate on Britain, Ireland and the Iberian peninsula, and mostly provide the vernacular equivalents of Latin names or provide additional places.â [source]

Maps Of Modern Cities Drawn In The Style Of J.R.R. Tolkien
"The maps J.R.R. Tolkien drew to accompany his tales are their own form of story, sketching out the boundaries of his imagined worlds. But could our own, real cities be just as dramatic a fantasy setting? The answer is yes."

Mapping the worldâs tropical forests with a fleet of airplanes outfitted with advanced LiDAR could rapidly and accurately assess global forest carbon stocks for a fraction of the cost of a typical Earth observation satellite mission â and far less than field-based sampling â argues a new paper published in <i>Carbon Balance and Management</i>.

Cartographic Assemblages
Maps help us find our way in the world (or make us even more lost), but the concept of a map can also be applied when trying to organize together memories, identity, narrative and materiality.
Artist Lindsey Dunnagan explores the mapping of memories and identity in her series Mapping the Intangible, while in Mapping New Worlds, the artist focuses on manipulating topography, hinting at familiar places, but distorted in a way that the familiar becomes alien.
The materiality of Dunnaganâs work in Mapping the Intangible is significant because the watercolour is mixed with salt, allowing unexpected patterns to form, as if creating city limits, but also transform over time as the salt dries and flakes off. The artist focuses on locations that are familiar and important to her memories and identity, yet unrecognizable to the viewer because the maps juxtapose on one another, creating âfalse connectionsâ, rather serving, as the artist states, âas an atlas of memory that informs identityâ. The same kind of atlas, albeit abstract, can be found in Mapping New Worlds but rather than focusing just on identity and memory, the pieces in this series focus on âconcepts of city development, communication, and abstractedâ landscape. Familiar images such as cities and roads are obstructed by rivers or clouds, creating an almost mythological narrative of the geography.
Similar to Dunnaganâs work, is that of Scott W. Bradfordâs, but rather than mapping out specific locations which focus on geography, Bradford pieces together various elements which map out a narrative through materiality. The artist states that he links âthe materiality of the surface to the drawing itself, either metaphorically or in terms of the narrativeâ in order to emphasize that it is constructed; his maps are fiction. In both his seriesâ Blueshift and Journey to Nowhere, stories are being told.
Each piece maps out its own narrative, but when the series is presented as a whole, the works become a collection of stories, mapping out an overall narrative of materiality.

Mapping 92 Years of Bigfoot Sightings
âOn the hunt for Bigfoot?  Josh Stevens, a PhD candidate in Geography at Penn State, has stumbled across a treasure trove of Bigfoot sightings.  Stevens discovered that the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization has catalogued Bigfoot/Sasquatch sightings in the United States and Canada stretching back to 1921.
The database hosted by BFRO contains thousands of geocoded and timestamped logs describing sightings of the mythical beast.  Stevens consolidated a total of 3,313 sightings from 1921 to 2013.  He then mapped and graphed out the sightings to look for patterns.â
