Thanks to the plethora of Covid-19 online dashboards and maps that are intended to track the outbreak\, there is a sudden rise in appreciation about the importance of geography and the value of a map for powerful communication. This panel will dig deeper into this phenomenal explosion of spatial visualization. What are the implications of automatic data collection and cartographic construction for cartography? What are the opportunities and limitations in finding\, analyzing\, visualizing\, and communicating disparate data resources related to the pandemic\, ranging from data by official agencies to crowd-sourced big data? Join us for this thought-provoking panel! \n\n\n Is Cartography dead? Is GIS a dying craft? Covid dashboards and what they signal.
