The Atmosphere, A Guide is a poster-essay depicting various human influences on the sky and their chemical, narrative, spatial, and political traces.

Visually referencing the Cloud Code Chart, another interpretive aid for looking up, the Guide visualizes some ways humans occupy present, past, and future atmospheres, from sea level to the exosphere. Includes Megan Prelinger’s “Charting the Sky.”
