Map Software
The maps on this are served using MapServer, and displayed using the OpenLayers AJAX client. Both are open source projects. The OpenLayers implementation makes use of the Proj4JS JavaScript port of Proj.4. As a part of the creation of this website, the Cylindrical Equal Area (CEA) was written and submitted to the Proj4JS project.
Data
The data was prepared using the ShapeLib tools and MapShaper. Original data came from:
- Mapping Hacks - World Borders
- Caspian Environment Programme
- NOAA's Coastal Geospatial Data Project - Great Lakes
