Research Tools: There’s a Map for That: GoodLands Launches Catholic GeoHub
From Catholic News Service (via America):
Molly Burhans has a treasure trove of information about the global Catholic Church and she’s giving the public the maps to find it.
The young founder of GoodLands, a U.S. nonprofit digital mapping and consulting firm focused on using Catholic land resources to do good for people and the environment, prepared to release more than 100 maps and data sets for free online on the new Catholic GeoHub.
The GeoHub — catholic-geo-hub-cgisc.hub.arcgis.com — is the only place in the world where Catholics can see the boundary of every Catholic diocese in the world, map the ratio of Catholic laity to priests, and even check data-based assumptions about the “Catholic carbon footprint.”
