The McGee group is going to the ends of the earth to understand how precipitation patterns respond to climate change. Recognizing that past changes provide unique opportunities to test our understanding of the climate system, the group is building high-resolution records of past precipitation changes in sensitive regions around the world using natural precipitation archives such as lake deposits and stalagmites. In the past two years this work has taken the group to shorelines preserving records of large ancient lakes in the deserts of the western U.S. and subtropical South America, to caves in the Yucatan peninsula and deep inside islands in Vietnam's Ha Long Bay, and onto a drill rig sampling deeply buried lake sediments in the high tropical Andes.

I visited the "Mapping Knowledge. Understanding the World through Data" exhibition in Mons, Belgium, which is European capital of culture in 2015. An exhibition for all persons interested in data visualisation/infographics, and all those interested by the "knowledge" topic. The biggest surprise for me was to discover and to learn more about the Mundaneum. It is the crazy project of two Belgian, Paul Otlet and Henri La Fontaine, who tried in the late nineteenth century to gather and classified the world’s knowledge available on...paper at that time. They created an internet on paper! Their final goal was to design the ideal society, with the help of Le Corbusier. Mundaneum is not only a big crazy project but it is also the place and the concept that hosts the exhibition (The message is the medium. Isn't?)
The exhibition starts with a large timeline of "data visualisations" (maps, drawings, etc) which begins in 366AC.
An interesting part of the exhibition is on the tree (symbol of knowledge) and its use in visualisations to represent the organisation of knowledge. Another part offers orginal works by Paul Otlet done for the Mundaneum project, wonderful. A part is dedicated to "invisible networks and cities" which proposes visualisations of the hidden flow of data around us. To finish, a section on "Data is art" where artists use data to create pieces of art.

Dr. Michael Watson- Administrator, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), and Matthew Rhoads, Acting Deputy Administrator, Plant Protection and Quarantine, discuss with Dr. Kirk Johnson- Sant Director, National Museum of Natural History, and his team, Washington D.C., June 17, 2025. Every day, experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) protect U.S. agriculture and natural resources by identifying pests intercepted on incoming shipments at ports of entry or found around the country. To support this critical work, APHIS signed a memorandum of understanding with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History to co-locate APHIS entomology and botany experts with other Federal and Smithsonian experts already working at the museum. This move will not only consolidate vital knowledge in one place, but it will also give APHIS experts access to the museum’s resources, including their extensive arthropod collection, which is a critical pest identification tool.

The quest to knowledge never stopped. Understanding the world was the privilege of witches then believers, today it mainly comes with science. Unfortunately esotericism will never either.
