I've got enough stuff lined up concerning this planet that I called Maward ("my world"), that I reckon it will take a few lifetimes to do it all... Recently, I've been a little demotivated about the massive whole-planet colored height map, which is a ongoing WIP without deadline, and I diverged into more and more complex stuff to do (sigh!)...

This involved refreshing my knowledge on Thermohaline circulation (you know, the underwater ocean currents that Nemo took with the turtles), which I had previously left out of the climatic system. Someone, somewhere in this forum, mentioned how important this system is and, after reading about it, I strongly strongly agree.

Well, anyhow, I've been scribbling notes, looking at specific Earth maps about this issue, reading scientific literature and devising the whole surface water / deep water churning for Maward. That is quite complex and I won't bother anyone about it, just like I didn't bother doing a WIP. However, in the middle of my trials and note taking, I started a test style, which quite effortlessly grew into a fully fledged map.

This is it - like the mid-XXth century Abi Valley map, the Geographical Embassy Publishing Co. signs it again. This time clearly a digital creation, meant to be used in some site called OceanAware.Org, back in 2006 (I think)
