Ports in the Caribbean during 18th Century?
Q: I'm making a Pirates of the Caribbean board game, and not surprisingly the game board is a map of the caribbean.
I'm trying to map out all the ports mentioned in the movie, as well as some real life ports of that time.
A: Provincialias ??(spelling???) in Turks and Caicos was a major pirate port for Henry Avery and Black Beard went down at Orkracoke North Carolina. Don't forget to add Barbados as a major slave port and St.Vincent (Kingstown port) as a runaway refuge for slaves and pirates.

Geographic analysis offers new insight into coral disease spread
29.07.11
Now a University of Florida geographer and his colleagues applied Geographic Information Systems, known as GIS -- as well as software previously used to examine human illness -- to show where clusters of diseased coral exist. Their findings, published this month in the journal PLoS One, may help scientists derive better hypotheses to determine what contributes to coral disintegration.
"What you'll find is that spatial techniques have been used relatively little in the coral research community," said paper co-author Jason Blackburn, a UF professor of geography and member of UF's Emerging Pathogens Institute. "With these methods, we gain a better understanding of the disease's distribution across the reef.

DIY Dot Maps for Caribbean Anoles in R |

Do you ever stop and think about how long it must have taken Schwartz and Henderson to make all those amazing dot maps in their 1991 opus on West Indian amphibians and reptiles? They plotted known localities for every species of West Indian amphibian and reptile in the days before GPS and GIS! These days, making dot maps of species distributions is considerably less onerous, but often requires the use of cumbersome, expensive, and PC-only programs like ArcGIS . For the past couple of weeks, some folks in my lab – Daniel Scantlebury,...
