Fwd: Water: An Atlas -- Call for Maps

[Vicky Knox]

My friends at Guerrilla Cartography are looking for mappers, researchers, ideas, etc. to contribute to their upcoming atlas on water. Interested, or know anyone who would be? If you're not familiar with them, they are the folks who created Food: An Atlas (PDF), an incredible work mapping and making sense of our complex global food systems.

View this email in your browser Dear Collaborator, Guerrilla Cartography is launching a new atlas project! Please see the Call for Maps below and consider contributing to Water: An Atlas (visit www.guerrillacartography.org/call/ for details).   Please forward this Call for Maps to all those who would be interested in contributing to this project.   We invite you to translate this Call for Maps (even roughly) into your native language(s) and spread it to the appropriate networks.     Call for Maps   Guerrilla Cartography is seeking maps, ideas, cartographers, and researchers for a special atlas on water.  As a project of Guerrilla Cartography, Water: An Atlas will be a collaborative project, bringing together a diversity of disciplines all connected by the theme of water.   Any and all subject matter related to water is welcome—from fisheries and agriculture to water diversion and infrastructures; from the politics of access to the morality of waste; from sea-level rise and vanishing glaciers to gray water and hydroelectricity; from the water cycle to the origins of water—Water: An Atlas endeavors to map water in its myriad contexts and conditions and at all scales of research and geography.   We seek contributions from current or recent research that may already be mapped and current or recent research that could be mapped, including historical data and investigation.   As a project of Guerrilla Cartography, Water: An Atlas is a non-profit venture and will be published by crowd-funding and grants.  Money raised to fund the project will be put toward printing and binding.  The purchase price will be kept minimal to make the atlas accessible and any net proceeds generated from sales will go to fund the activities of Guerrilla Cartography (a California-registered non-profit), which includes the future publication of theme-based atlases and those activities outlined in our mission statement and purpose (see guerrillacartography.org).   You may contribute to the content of Water: An Atlas in any number and combination of the following ways: Submit a map Submit an idea to be mapped Volunteer to be a cartographer and/or researcher   Submission Deadlines   First submission: September 1, 2015, 11:59 PM PST Submissions of ideas due Submissions to volunteer to be a cartographer and/or researcher due Final submission: October 1, 2015, 11:59 PM PST Submissions of maps due   You may submit as many maps or ideas as you wish as long as you are able to supply adequate and appropriate data.
