Synopsis 概要：
Geographers use maps to learn about distribution and pattern of any kind of space-and-time phenomenon. The spread of COVID-19 showcases how maps are used to visualize the pandemic in different parts of the world. In everyday news, you might have seen some of them and what about those you don’t? Have you wondered where do they come from? How do we make use of them? What is the role of maps in this pandemic? The talk is going to tell the story about maps and the importance of maps to help us understand the pandemic.
地理學者利用地圖來了解各種時空現象的分佈和模式。新冠病毒的傳播正是一個很好的例子展示地圖是如何讓我們「看見」病毒在世界各地大流行的情況。你可能已經在每日的新聞報導中接觸過其中一些地圖，但還有很多你從沒見過。而你有否想過這些地圖是從何而來？它們的作用是什麼？它們在這大流行中擔當著什麼的角色？這講座會帶你進入地圖的世界，探索地圖的故事以及地圖對我們了解大流行的重要性。
