Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Data Visualization Tools

As we start thinking about all of the urban and regional-themed conferences in the next couple of months, we are also thinking about how we can present our research in ways that will engage our audiences.

We recently came across two great sources of advice and ideas with regard to visualizing data: Jean-luc Doumont's book Trees, Maps, and Theorems and Jonathan A. Schwabish's article "An Economist's Guide to Visualizing Data."

Gephi and Tableau are other tools we have explored for data visualization.

What types of tools and techniques are you using to visualize spatial data? We'd love to hear from you.

Don't forget to apply for a CURA Travel Grant if you're an OSU graduate student whose abstract has been accepted to present at an urban and regional-themed conference.
