A world still to be mapped 🌍
Today at UseR! 2026 in Warsaw, I gave a talk "A world still to be mapped: reflections on geocomputation in R".
A look at the #rspatial history, current state, my challenges, and more.

📍 Interesting early-stage project: RQGIS Console
An R console integrated directly into QGIS -- letting you write and run R code inside QGIS with full access to your active project (layers, CRS, extent, and metadata).

🚂 Looking forward to attending #EGU26 next week and contributing several works on spatial prediction and machine learning.
If you are attending, I would be glad to connect and discuss related work -- feel free to reach out.

We’ve updated the geocompx README.
Find guides, books, and tools for geocomputation in R, Python, and Julia — plus ways to get involved.

📦 New R package: sfhotspot by Matt Ashby
Identify & analyze spatial clusters of points (places/events) entirely with sf objects.
Includes tools for counts, change over time, kernel density, Getis–Ord Gi*, & classification.🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/mpjashby/sfhotspot

An intriguing point at the intersection of #geocomputation and #transportplanning: the intricacy of three-dimensional transport networks necessitates that certain paths from point A to point B become MultiLinestrings when converted to two-dimensional formats. Advice: review any processes that assume all routes are simple linestrings! For reproducible path including (two!) loops, refer to this link: https://www.cyclestreets.net/journey/122968651/#fastest

Next week I’ll be at the LPS conference in Vienna! 🌍🛰️
If you’re around and would like to meet up to chat about geocomputation, open science, or anything related, let me know!
