Aqueous Earth Catalog is an interactive geospatial visualization tool. All users are invited to contribute an entry by filling out a simple form (also available on the maps’ about page). Think of a film that has a body of water in it and ask: just where might that be?

Named after the U.S. magazine Whole Earth Catalog (1968-1972), whose mission was to inventory tools, methodologies and technologies, and otherwise useful resources in a comprehensive, global scale, the Aqueous Earth Catalog encourages students and researchers to shift their understanding of the cultures as static and land bound to fluid, dynamic, and interconnected. The Catalog is a companion piece to Ennuri Jo’s book project, Aqueous Image: World Cinema and the Blue Humanities.
