Projections

Nice video of myriahedral projections

My favorite site for information on map projections. Lots of graphics (ones that I did not show in class) and in-depth descriptions. Worth checking out: http://www.progonos.com/furuti/MapProj/Normal/TOC/cartTOC.html

Nice example of a projection selected to accommodate the phenomena:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/graphic/2009/04/15/GR20090415011...

Another nice projection selection:

Love this map! So much information but still clear. Many different projections: http://urbanomnibus.net/main/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/arcticmap.jpg

Nice explanations of major projections from the National Atlas site: http://www.nationalatlas.gov/articles/mapping/a_projections.html

Freeware program for creating map projections: Flex Projector http://www.flexprojector.com/ 

Map projections used to create a globe in a different medium: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kohsuke/archive/2009/06/afterjavaone_pr.html
