The Invisible patterns of ship logs

Professor James Cheshire talks about maps from his book "Atlas of the invisible". In the 1980s, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration began digitizing more than three centuries' worth of observations from ocean buoys and ship logs, including Maury's maps. The records capture the evolution of ever faster shipping routes that now criss-cross the globe. James Cheshire is Professor of Geographic Information and Cartography in the UCL Department of Geography and Director of the UCL Q-Step Centre. He is co-author of the critically acclaimed books London: The Information Capital and Where the Animals Go. James is the recipient of a number of major awards from the Royal Geographical Society, The North American Cartographic Information Society and British Cartographic Society. He was President of the Society of Cartographers between 2017 and 2019. His research focuses on the use of “big” and open datasets for the study of social science. He has published in a range of journals on a variety of topics including the use of cycle hire schemes, the spatial analysis of surnames and new ways to visualize population data.
