#demographics — Public Fediverse posts

🚀 A true honour to welcome Professor Dame Wendy Hall to WorldPop!

We had an inspiring and wide-ranging conversation on using AI and satellite imagery to fill global demographic data gaps 🌍 - plus insights into UK data sharing initiatives and the power of interdisciplinary collaboration.

Exciting times ahead as we work to make our demographic data more inclusive, accessible, and actionable. 💡🔬

With GIS and other mapping technologies, you can create a map of an area and layer open data over it spatially to reveal new, enriching insights. Your challenge is to create a map that incorporates open science data to explore how an issue in your community is shaped by the surrounding physical geography...”
