Exposing the Desert: StoryMaps

Our ArcGIS StoryMaps takes our readers on a visual storyteliing journey filled with immersive content created by graduate student research, Sarah Foruzan M.A., and undergraduate student research assistants, Isabelle Swanson and Preeti Juturu with the assistance of the Center for Health Disparities (HDR@UCR) team.
