KEY MAPS ON CONNECTIVITY
WorldMap | Energy ; ICT ; Transport
This interactive map builds on the global infrastructure networks depicted in Parag Khanna’s 2016 book Connectography - Mapping the Future of Global Civilization. Users can select from different overlays per sector -- high-speed rail under the Transport, for example -- to customize the map visualization according to the research or inquiry needs. Users can also choose from different base maps, ranging from Google Roadmap to ESRI World Street Map. The transportation, energy, and communication vectors displayed here are compiled from various sources. This website is a joint collaboration between Parag Khanna and Jeff Blossom.

Kiln and UCL Energy Institute | Transport
This interactive map, created by Kiln using data from the UCL Energy Institute, shows the movements of global merchant fleet over the course of 2012 on a bathymetric map. Users can view statistics such as emitted carbon dioxide (in thousand tons) and maximum freight carried by represented vessels (varying units). They are also able to select different map layers such as port names, routes and the animated ships view, and filter vessel types.
