Finishing up the last day at @efgs2019 with a session on Future #geospatial thinking. Chris Jochem from WorldPopProject @geogsouthampton presented on settlement classification from multi-scale spatial patterns of building footprints using a machine learning approach #efgs2019

At what time on New Year's had most of the world's people started the year 2020? A little trivia, and a fun use for WorldPopProject data. github.com/wcjochem/newye… Happy (belated) New Year to all!

Learn more about how we map settlements. Our first webinar, Mapping Settlements, is out now: bit.ly/mapsettlements #datascience #datadriven

Experimental #rstats 📦 {sfarrow} for reading/writing `sf` objects from/to Parquet files with {arrow}. Using consistent geo metadata to work with GeoPandas. Currently quite simple; feedback and ideas welcome #rspatial github.com/wcjochem/sfarr…

Excited that there will be not one but TWO Bayesian demography sessions at #PAA2021 on Wed 5 May! - 10:45PM CT: Adrian Raftery Emma Zang Mark Wheldon Jonathan Marc Bearak discussant @NCahill_Stat - 2:30PM CT: Casey Breen @sinafala Chris Jochem Jon Wakefield discussant Christie Schmertz

My first #rstats 📦on CRAN! {sfarrow} Reading/writing spatial objects with coordinate reference system info from/to Parquet files and partitioned datasets #rspatial cran.r-project.org/package=sfarrow

Got excited and took it out for a spin, all looking great! Here's how you can read/write geospatial data between R and Python like it's the XXIst Century (also, in the same notebook thanks to the darribas.org/gds_env). Notebook at: gist.github.com/darribas/95b6c…

New random forest informed population modelling package in R (CRAN.R-project.org/package=popRF ). Vignette/tutorial can be found (for now) at (dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.…) GeoDataScience WorldPopProject #Population #rspatial
