What is More than Maps?

The More than Maps public engagement initiative aims to share replicable and open-access skills in mapping and social science analysis to empower students and young professionals in research supporting climate change adaptation.

Our team has developed in-person and online workshop series focusing on various environmental issues, including climate change and disaster risk, for different target audiences. All our workshops are free of charge and aim to increase research skills and knowledge about current environmental topics amongst the participants.

More than Maps was originally established as an outreach initiative of the SARTRAC research group, aiming to engage young people with research on Sargassum seaweed which has been washing up on beaches across the Caribbean and West Africa in large quantities since 2011, affecting fisheries, tourism and other sectors.
