refugee's Introduction

refugee

This project has built the Global Refugee Atlas -- an open, crowdsourced, and participatory online atlas that visualizes and narrates core experiences of the 65 million refugees under the UN mandate. The Atlas is comprised of interactive story maps that convey the historical context and conditions associated with the global refugee journey. Instead of relying on data from, for example, anthropological fieldwork in refugee camps, this Altas will be innovatively constructed using crowdsourced data from social media (e.g., Twitter), open-access satellite remote sensing imagery on land cover or climatic conditions, as well as a host of readily available datasets from UNHCR and other international humanitarian agencies. In its collection of complementary perspectives, the Global Refugee Atlas will provide a thought-provoking and engaging narration of one of the defining human journeys of the 21st century.

Design Questions

I've spent the last couple of days looking at examples of National Geographic wep maps. One element they all share is a single object that scrolls down the center of the page (as opposed to a side-by-side info panel and map display). Here are a couple of examples: city map, waste map. The effect is visually powerful. I would also think it would make the maps more mobile compatible. I've uploaded a basic example to a "design" folder in the github. Let me know what you think.
