How can better data improve humanitarian action?
WorldPop brought together experts from #UNHCR #IOM, #UNICEF and leading universities to advance ethical, data-driven approaches to tracking forced displacement. The workshop focused on improving data quality, protecting privacy, and making women and children more visible in decision-making.

Which Calgary neighborhoods are best built to withstand summer heatwaves? 🌳☀️
To measure structural climate resilience across the city, I conducted a spatial analysis of 193 established residential communities, calculating the Solid-to-Tree Ratio—comparing bare artificial surfaces (asphalt, concrete, rooftops) directly against total tree canopy area.
Here are the Top 10 most shade-rich and climate-resilient communities in Calgary:
🟢 Queens Park Village — 0.3 (Just 0.3 ha of hard surface for every 1 ha of canopy!)
🟢 Discovery Ridge — 0.5
🟢 Roxboro — 0.5
🟢 Wildwood — 0.6
🟢 Rideau Park — 0.7
🟢 Medicine Hill — 0.8
🟢 Upper Mount Royal — 0.8
🟢 Crestmont — 0.9
🟢 Elbow Park — 0.9
🟢 Shaganappi — 0.9👇 The full interactive dataset and study are here:

🗺 New research maps neighbourhood-level #COVID19 spread across Dakar, #Senegal revealing that infection risk is driven by the concentration of people within built-up residential areas - not population density alone.
🏥 The approach could also help tackle diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis across Africa.

New research powered by WorldPop open data reveals 63M women across 34 African countries will miss all essential maternal care by 2025.
Using 1km² geospatial modelling and building footprint data, the VeriXiv preprint exposes stark inequalities - from 5% in #Malawi to 74% in #Chad - and highlights a largely invisible priority population.

Hello #Fediverse! Time for a proper #Introduction.
I’m a hobbyist developer and engineer (outside the tech industry) who loves building tools for education and personal use. I’m currently focused on:
🐍 #Python & #Django – Working through a 30-day library challenge right now!
💻 #Linux – Running #Fedora on my System76 laptop.
🏠 #HomeLab – Managing an #OpenMediaVault setup on a Ugreen DXP2800, plus lots of #Docker and #Portainer tinkering.
🗺️ #Geospatial – Exploring data science projects.
Current Projects:
DITS: A custom issue tracker application.
Devnexus: A lite weight TUI issue and pull request application
mgl_website: My MickGeekLabs.org website and blog
Byte_Board_Blog: My personal blog project.
Pushing code to my local #Gitea (MickGeekLabs) and GitHub.
When I’m not debugging, I’m likely hanging out with my 16-year-old ginger tabby cat. 🐈
Looking forward to connecting with the #SelfHosted, #Python, and #Dev community here!

Wow. New #buildings height dataset based on Planetscope data #geospatialdata #opendata
"We introduce GlobalBuildingAtlas, a publicly available dataset providing global and complete coverage of building polygons, heights and Level of Detail 1 (LoD1) 3D building models. This is the first open dataset to offer high quality, consistent, and complete building data in 2D and 3D form at the individual building level on a global scale." https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/1782307BUT Look in comments for caveats
