UoL Cartographic

Fantastic news for Mark Williams and so lovely of him to ask us to work with him in this prestigious journal! 🌍👍

Map layout significantly impacts readability. From balancing elements to choosing the right scale, every detail matters in cartography. Understanding these principles can transform how we visualise geographic data.

Christmas has officially landed in @LeicesterGeog A beautifully decorated tree by @CartographicUol once again. 🎄🎅 Hope it gives everyone some Xmas cheer!

A busy day of various photography sessions: Central Marketing photoshoot of undergraduates and making up a weird game of Cluedo...Professor Gabbott in the Photography Studio with a pair of underpants! #Geography #Geology #Photography #Underpants

@CurateUoL This should have gone in the newsletter! #SmallWins

Little win on a Friday: getting your sticky label printed on the correct side FIRST TIME 🤪 (That's me done for the week, I cannot hope to top that)

@salvajemateo @stanfordpress Fantastic! Can we scan it for the display please? 😁

Beautiful figures in a new paper by the @LandscapeDecis1 team, painstakingly worked on until they were exactly what was needed to communicate. 😍 Hopefully didn’t stress @drbethcole and @MickatLeicester out too much!

A massive thank you to all of our guests that visited us at our Centenary Celebrations on Saturday!🎉 It was a fantastic day seeing everyone and lovely weather too! ☀️ Here are a few more photos from the day.

Our Centenary Celebrations event is getting busy already, looking forward to meeting everyone today. #Centenary #100
