Thematic Mapping and Cartographic Design

Maps Design, Analysis and Use

Thematic Mapping and Geovisualization

  • Qualitative maps: visual variables and cartographic symbols
  • Quantitative maps: data scaling, data classification, and principles of colour
  • Mapping movement, change, and process
  • Map composition and map symbolization
