You might have been wondering why there are so few new cartograms appearing on this blog. Just to reassure you, this blog is not dead. But I will now use it more for other things than before, such as ‘normal’ map outputs from my work and other bits and pieces from my academic research. Much of the cartograms, however, can now be found on the Worldmapper website at Worldmapper.org which we relaunched at the 125th Anniversary Conference of the Geographical Association in Sheffield in 2018 (read more about it here). The Worldmapper website now also has its own Worldmapper blog where I will put some of the work online that would previously have appeared on the Views of the World blog. And I have also become involved in the (currently German-only) Riff Reporter platform where you will find some of our Worldmapper works in context in the AnthropoScene section. You see, my cartogram work has not vanished, and there is more than ever out there! It has simply moved to other places on the internet which you should follow in addition to this blog. But don’t leave just yet, new maps and other related works will continue to be featured here! You will always hear about it first, if you follow @geoviews and @worldmapper on Twitter.
