A previous [OHI News post by Dustin Duncan](https://oceanhealthindex.org/news/crs_deep_dive/) delves into details about coordinate reference systems, projections, and more. For now, we can think about coordinate reference systems as a way to describe locations in a standardized way such that a 2-dimensional point on a projected map describes a "real" position on Earth.

My favorite resources for understanding this concept are: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIID5FDi2JQ">this Vox video</a> on how areas of the globe must be distorted in order to render the 3-D ellipsoid of Earth into a 2D map, <a href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/properties/coordinate-systems-and-projections.htm">this ArcGIS Pro article</a>, and <a href="https://ncxiao.github.io/map-projections/index.html">this interactive visualization</a> of how different projections warp the area of different parts of the world using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissot%27s_indicatrix">Tissot's indicatrix</a> and Gedymin faces, by <a href="https://github.com/ncxiao">Ningchuan Xiao</a>.
