I found this community on Friday and have been lurking quite a bit all weekend. Finally signed up.

About myself. I graduated with a B.S. in Geography, specializing in GIS and physical geography. I didn't find many opportunities in GIS due to the economy and demand for programming skills, so decided to continue my education in Geosciences. I recently finished my PhD in tectonic geomorphology and must say illustrating my results is always the part I enjoy obsessing about. I'm glad to see so many others getting carried away with cartography.

Right now I am working on some of my own cartography projects related to landscapes of interest on earth However, I am also working on some more illustrative/artistic maps of cities and areas I'm connected to. This website seems like a valuable resource because I have very little experience illustrating in styles such as historical maps. I'm already downloading new softwares because of posts I read and can't wait to see what they can do.

I hope to share some of my recent scientific cartography work and anything else I bring to life in the future.
