Infographic Resources, Work Flows, and Designs for Earth Science
Turning data into images is one step in a larger process of turning data into stories. Infographics relate data to commonly known arenas of knowledge so that the impact of the data can be widely understood. What are the ways that Earth data can inform infographic designs that engage the public, and that will be widely shared across social media sites?
