I will create publication ready maps for your thesis or paper


About this gig
Need a clean study area map for your thesis, paper or report? I'm a geologist and I make the figures reviewers like: clear, accurate and sized to your journal's specs.
What you get
Location map with inset (country or region) and study area
Shaded relief, water bodies, roads or sampling sites as needed
Scale bar, north arrow, coordinates and legend
Your data plotted (CSV, shapefile, GPX, KML, GeoTIFF)
Vector PDF plus high resolution TIFF or PNG, sized to 1 or 2 columns
Data: open, properly licensed sources (Copernicus DEM, OpenStreetMap, Natural Earth, national datasets), with the credit lines your figure needs.
Please send: the area (coordinates or a sketch), your data if any, the journal's figure guidelines and your deadline.
I don't do land surveying, cadastre or drone processing, only maps and figures. Message me before ordering if you're unsure.

FAQ
Can you follow my journal's guidelines?
Yes. Send me the figure specs (size, fonts, file type) and I'll match them.
Do you use Google Maps?
No. Google's terms don't allow it in publications, so I use open, citable data.
Which software do you use?
QGIS and Python, finished in vector, so your files print sharply.
