DESCRIPTION:Are maps just pictures\, or analytical tools? Are they graphic
 s or science? Analysis of patterns in data is at the core of science\, and
  analysis of spatial patterns is at the core of geographical research. Nev
 er have spatial data been more available and never have we been better equ
 ipped to use them. Using examples from the Antarctic and Greenland ice she
 ets and from Syria to the Congo\, I’ll make a case for the map as a valu
 able scientific tool\, a key asset in disaster management and a powerful w
 ay to tell important stories.
