Welcome to Terra Curiosity! I’m Joseph Frombaugh, a passionate GIS enthusiast with a deep love for maps, cartography, and geology. My journey with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) began with a simple curiosity about how spatial data could be used to solve real-world challenges, and it has since evolved into a lifelong pursuit of understanding and innovation.

With years of experience in the public sector, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects that have honed my analytical skills and deepened my appreciation for the power of maps. I’ve always believed that maps do more than just represent the world—they tell stories, reveal patterns, and provide insights that can help us address the complex issues facing our communities today.

Here at Terra Curiosity, I combine my skills in GIS with a keen interest in geology to explore the intersection of these fields. My projects are personal and meaningful to me, each one reflecting my commitment to using GIS to make a positive impact. Whether it’s mapping land use patterns, analyzing geological features, or experimenting with generative AI to enhance data visualization, my work is driven by a desire to create tools and insights that are not just functional, but also engaging and accessible.

I’m excited to share my journey with you through this site. If you share my passion for maps, GIS, and the endless possibilities they offer, I invite you to explore my projects, follow my blog, and connect with me. Together, let’s map the future and find new ways to understand and improve the world around us.

Thank you for visiting Terra Curiosity—where curiosity meets the art and science of mapping.
