Thanks for sharing these guys.  They are all uniquely cool, interesting, and
packed with information.  One thought I have is often a legend is missing or
some quick, easy instructions on how to "play with" the map.   Otherwise, I
really enjoyed looking over all of them and sent a few out to family and
friends.

 

Thanks Again!

Subject: Re: [Geowanking] Cool Temporal Animations

 

Returning to the topic at hand. I question if animation is necessary to
convey temporal dimensions in a data set.  Temporal data can be presented as
a series of small multiples, a la Tufte:

Alternatively, something as simple as making use of a browser's scroll bar
can also convey temporal changes:

What brilliance and mellifluent. Chrononanism, goes hand over fist
with temporiapism. Ahh... the ailments that we men suffer at the alter
of geospatiotemporal.
