Climate Cartographics

The idea behind this project is that the cartographic methods developed during the Monsoon Assemblages project (European Research Council Starting Grant no. 679873) provide a breakthrough innovation in the field of climate change visualisation. It proposes to offer competitive cartographic services to organisations seeking to better understand, communicate and act on the impacts of climate change in their contexts. As a way of testing this proposition, the project will undertake and evaluate four pilot cartographic projects with organisations from the public, private, not-for-profit and academic sectors. On the basis of these pilot projects and further market research, a business case will be made and an appropriate delivery vehicle for rolling out the innovation will be set up. By the end of the grant period, at least one contract will be signed in each sector for future work.
