At CLEAR we’ve become big fans of the “Story Map,” an application created by GIS industry leader Esri that enables the seamless combination of online interactive maps with other types of information such as photos, videos, graphs and graphics. Below are links to six Story Maps created by CLEAR or CLEAR-affiliated students. From breakwaters to bears, there’s something in this gallery for you to explore.
TAKE HEED: Story maps are complex, data-rich multimedia affairs. We recommend viewing over WiFi.
We crave your input (especially if it’s praise)! Weigh in on our Story Maps clear.uconn.edu.
