This is an aged map. The typography is more styled- fittingly of the time period it portrays. Maybe it is a historic artifact, pulled from a scroll. Or, maybe it's a relic used by Doctor Jones?

This is what a standard map projection looks like studied by school children in Gotham City?

Mmm... Map

So... my biogeographical research interets include sharks and their behavior. My first diving experience will most likely be with my older brother and his wife. They live on the Gulf side of Florida, in Sarasota. Fittingly, this was a good map to stumble across.

Brief Bio

I am a junior at George Mason University, studying Geography. I became interested in this field after taking a pair of intro corses at a community college in Hampton, VA. I have come from memorizing standard political maps, to learning how to build them myself. My Inroduction to Cartography class will improve my map analyzing/ creating skills. I am researching various graduate schools to further my education. My interests lean more towards biogeography and I would love to work in the ocean, researching various migratory patterns of sharks. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science, aka VIMS , studies the oceans and its ecology, and is a leading candidate of my interests. I am also intrigued by shark behavior, including shark attacks , their locations, and influences. I've also found the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA ,to be a handy resource for various research. Their database is emmense and eclectic.
