Women's News Network: The Strauss Center’s Climate Change and African Political Stability (CCAPS) program has just released a pilot version of its new dynamic mapping tool which is set to revolutionize data analysis worldwide.In partnership with AidData, CCAPS has developed the online data portal to enable both researchers and policymakers to visualize data specific to climate change vulnerability, conflict and aid. The data analysis is also set to evaluate how these issues intersect within the continent of Africa.
“The complex pathways from climate change to security impacts have demanded new datasets to fill knowledge gaps, but also new ways of presenting the data to be of most use in policy planning,” said Francis J. Gavin, Director of the Strauss Center. “This mapping tool allows policymakers to analyze data from multiple sources at once, providing integrated analysis of the drivers and responses related to security risks stemming from climate change.”
The mapping tool, which uses Esri technology, allows users to select and layer any combination of CCAPS data onto one map to assess how myriad climate change impacts and responses intersect. For example, mapping conflict data over climate vulnerability data can assess how local conflict patterns could exacerbate climate-induced insecurity in a region. It also shows how conflict dynamics are changing over time and space....
Ebstorfer World Map, T-O-Design, was attributed to Gervase of Tilbury at around 1234 for some time, newer comparisions do date the original image into the year 1300 and no longer to that person. the original is lost due WW II. bombings but reproductions from facsimile copys and a digital reconstruction does exist.
