Maps for The Oxford Handbook of Speech Development in Languages of the World

Today I met with Craig Poynter from the Spatial Analysis Network at Charles Sturt University to discuss the creation of maps for The Oxford Handbook of Speech Development in Languages of the World. There are ~80 chapters/languages so I am really pleased that we have such expertise available. I'm also pleased that Dr Carolyn Gregoric will be providing support for this task.

We have beren discussing using the Equal Earth projection: https://www.esri.com/about/newsroom/arcuser/equal-earth/

We met again on 24th March - and decided that this format was what we were going to go with (Equal Area projection - Winkel Tripel).
