GIStories
Tell your story using maps!
Prof. Fran Martínez
Inspired by Esri GeoInquiries™,
I compiled and plotted these GIStories.
They're interactive maps meant as teaching resources for Year 2 Middle Years Programme students in Geography.
They incorporate real and public data from various government and oversight agencies, including
World Data Bank,
INEGI,
USGS, among other institutions,
They were created using free and open source tools, including
RStudio,
QGIS, and
DBeaver.
Feel free to use them following proper citation etiquette.
