online scientific mapping

An interesting online only journal has been created entitled the Journal of Maps. The journal was created to give researchers and scholars a place to publish their maps as the print cost of producing maps is becoming prohibitively expensive. They have had a couple of special issues including glacial geology and “maps in motion,” primarily dealing with transportation of all types. Their current issue has just been released and includes maps on the subjects of karst geomorphology, glacial geomorphology, and ecology. In order to look at the maps you need to register. But, hey, it’s free!
