Another ongoing project in collaboration with Luke Bergmann at University of British Columbia.
This is one aspect of a wider project aimed at developing maps where the geometry is based not on ‘location’ but on the relationships — whether of time, money, people, or anything else of interest between places. Space conceived not as a fixed absolute background to things but as a living moving thing that both shapes and is shaped by unfolding events.
Time-space mapping is a particular subset of this wider project focused on relations of estimated travel time between locations in a mountainous environment. There’s more detail on what we’re up to in this presentation I gave at GeoCart 2024.
You’ll find a video of dynamic time-space in the presentation and there’s another in my diary entry about GeoCart. Meanwhile, here’s a series of maps of estimated hiking times from a given starting location on a series of idealised conical mountains of increasing steepness.
