blog

I’m making a new website! Don’t worry, it’s not a new R blog- I just made this one and I’m still quite happy with it. I’m making a portfolio because, as a high school junior, I’m starting the college application process and I want a place to showcase my work that is prettier than LinkedIn.

I’ve spent the past month or so working with LANDFIRE’s national data of area burned in the continental US prior to European colonization. It’s a fascinating dataset and I’ve learned a lot about different chart types, how to make maps, and other valuable skills. My goal from the beginning was to format the charts and text into a parallax, which is a neat style of scrolling document that I’ve discussed on this blog before.

First post of 2021! Today I wanted to share some updates on old maps, talk about my projects and goals in the spirit of the New Year, and show what I’ve been working on.
