I’m in the middle of a rather large refactor of www.defensibleapp.com. I’m updating the structure level risk data with 2024 sources, and pulling in other data that have become table stakes. What else would you like to see in the app? If it’s sensible I’ll do it.

I love watch duty but I believe they need to reconsider some cartography choices because it muddies up what should be a cleaner UI
- the purple air points/smudges should be an optional toggle able layer
-why is the ocean hatched?

A new map for an as-yet-unpublished textbook, so you're seeing it here first!
The megacontinent of Sahul, composed of Australia and New Guinea in the year 50K BCE. Had annoying times trying to force ArcGIS to get the coast and elevation right, but it worked out!
