Episode #68

On this episode I am proud to have Jim Meacham a lifelong friend, world traveler, cartographer, and until recently head of the Info Graphics lab at the University of Oregon. We talk about Yellowstone, Mongolia, Ungulates, and some of the achievements of his former students.

Jim recently retired as executive director and co-founder of the UO’s InfoGraphics Lab. He also is a senior research associate in the Department of Geography. He is a former president of the North American Cartographic Information Society. His interests include map and atlas design and data visualization. Jim taught map design in the UO Geography Department. He is a co-author on the Wild Migrations: Atlas of Wyoming’s Ungulates (2018), Atlas of Yellowstone (2012), the Archaeology and Landscape in the Mongolian Altai: An Atlas (2010) and the Atlas of Oregon (2001) publications. His current projects include a revision of the second edition of the Atlas of Yellowstone. These atlas publications have received several major awards from the American Association of Geographers, the Cartography and Geographic Information Society, the Association of American Publishers, and the Wildlife Society among others.

The area in Africa I am trying to think of on the podcast is the Masai Mara.
