Global Plastic
Navigator
The Global Plastic Navigator is an interactive web application developed to highlight the global issue of marine plastic pollution by visualising some of the best publicly available research alongside key physical drivers. It also shows relevant WWF projects around the world as well as the growing global support for a strong international treaty to end plastic pollution.

Sailing Seas
of Plastic
This interactive map visualises the estimated concentration of floating plastic debris in the world’s oceans. The densities are computed with a numerical model calibrated against a series of field data collected from the five main Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea. The website shows the various expeditions of the sail vessels participating in the data collection effort from 2007 to 2013, and allows the exploration of all plastic concentrations measured using surface net tows and visual sightings.

Deep Sea
Mining Watch
The interactive map allows the public to watch over seabed mining activities in our oceans. In addition to existing claims for mining exploration granted by the international seabed authority, the application shows recent seabed mining activities by corporations and governments by visualising movements of research vessels believed to prospect the oceans seabeds for minerals. Researchers of the McCauley Laboratory identified these prospecting expeditions by analysing publicly available GPS data.

Tsunami Database
An interactive map visualising scientific records of tsunami events affecting the shores of New Zealand, enabling users to search the database by location, date and a variety of relevant parameters.

Beaufort Sea
oil spill map
In order to help Canadians and Arctic communities understand the scale and nature of the risks of oil spills in the Beaufort Sea and inform critical ocean management and planning, WWF Canada has commissioned a scientific study that models how different types of oil spills would spread in the Beaufort Sea, and how the spills would overlap with significant areas. For a selection of these spill scenarios we were asked to produce this interactive visualisation that allows to assess the impact a possible oil spill may have on the socio-economic and environmental resources at risk.

Lancaster Sound
The Lancaster Sound interactive map was created to raise awareness about this integral part of the Arctic which is home to the Inuit and a variety of wildlife. It informs about the different uses and challenges the area is facing and shows the different proposals for establishing a National Marine Conservation Area. To increase its impact, all content has been made available in English, French and Inuktitut. The site provides a guided introduction to the region and its key challenges with supporting infographics, a gallery illustrating the unique landscape, people and wildlife, as well as an exploratory map to visualise relevant data.

Sea-level rise
projections for
New Zealand
For the article “A map of the future”, we produced a range of maps, charts and diagrams to illustrate the predicted combined effect of sea-level rise and vertical land movement. While land subsidence will accelerate sea level rise in most modelled locations, uplift will dampen the effects in some.
Client: New Zealand Geographic
WHO’s COVID-19
response
A series of static infographics to help communicate the different aspects of the WHO's COVID-19 response. For this feature, produced by The Spinoff, we created most visuals including graphs, charts, maps and illustrations. Our work also included the collection, review and analysis of the data to create the base for the storyline.
