It's autumn, and time to start thinking on GIScience papers. Call for papers published, full papers due on 30th January. ...and what about organising a workhsop? More: giscience2023.github.io Alison Heppenstall alexis comber @nickmalleson

Day 3 #30DayMapChallenge: Polygons Polygons always seem like a great way to map landscapes based on our perceptions of ownership and boundaries, but they also generalise out lots of important spatial details. Iris Moeller alexis comber Paul EO Beth Cole UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology BARSC

Great warm up from Leeds University UCU’s Sweaty Assets! All the striking workers in Leeds today to say they’ve had enough. Pay us a decent wage!

I was particularly warmed by Leeds University UCU’s Sweaty Assets yesterday! Let me know if you have the extended remix! Stretch your casuals! Punch down! #RightToStrike Leeds University UCU #ucuRISING UCU

Starting GIScience right now! Rainy morning in Leeds but look at our beautiful welcome package! Thanks Alison Heppenstall and organisers University of Glasgow University of Leeds

Bye bye #Leeds and GIScience! 👋🏻 It was such an inspiring conference! 💯 Really felt like coming home to see family after long covid years! 🤗 Thanks alexis comber Alison Heppenstall @nickmalleson and others for organizing a great event! 👏🏻🙏😊

If you were at the excellent #giscience2023 hoping you've not tired of University of Leeds. ...Either way, come to #gisruk2024 -- it'll be ace!

Hey Patrick! we are super pleased that you had a good time. It was an impressive showing by the #GIScience community, in terms of numbers, contribution and fun (!). We were fortunate to have a fantastic conference team behind us. GIScience GIS at Leeds Geography at Leeds

Our Perspective "Mapping the Transcriptome - realising the full potential of spatial data analysis" is out today in Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…. A short thread on this work follows...

So happy, particularly for my student (Lefteris Zormpas), that the editors saw the value in this commentary. Thanks also to the helpful reviewers. And of course coauthors alexis comber and @rachelq_ncl!

To quote ourselves, these features mean that the analysis of these types of data should be "spatial by default", and encourage inter-disciplinary collaboration with those in the geographical sciences to help transfer decades of knowledge from that domain

A lovely piece of work to be involved in. It addresses a critical gap in ST methods which currently do not take account of important considerations & therefore do not take full advantage of the opportunities afforded by location! #SpatialTranscriptomics #rstats #rspatial

Greenland is greening! It's great to see this research published in Scientific Reports by Michael Grimes and Jonathan Carrivick. It brings back great fieldwork memories! nature.com/articles/s4159… Geography at Leeds

A recently published paper (doi.org/10.1038/s41598…) is getting some traction: we mapped vegetation changes as a result of ice loss on the Greenland Ice Sheet. I did the change analysis using GW binomial regression. theguardian.com/world/2024/feb… #rstats #rspatial
