  1. How much does landform position matter for vegetation dynamics across Calgary?

    I explored how ΔNDVI (2025-2024) varies across geomorphon classes (summit, ridge, slope, hollow, valley, etc.) using a large spatial dataset (~194k observations).

    A few key points from the analysis:
    • Non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis test shows statistically significant differences between geomorphons
    • However, the effect size is moderate (ε² ≈ 0.04)
    • Distributions strongly overlap — landform position matters, but it is not a deterministic driver
    • Median ΔNDVI tends to be higher in lower landscape positions (hollows, footslopes, valleys), consistent with moisture and accumulation controls

  3. 📌 Thematic hashtags I use in my Mastodon posts

    To help readers navigate the different topics I work on, I use several specialized hashtags.
    Here is a short overview of each one:

    #GreennessOfCalgary — my project on analyzing the vegetation patterns and green spaces of Calgary using remote sensing, classification, and cartography.

    #ClimateOfCalgary — visualization and analysis of local meteorological data.

    #SvystunovaGully — materials from my Independent long-term study of geochemical processes in groundwater around a high-mineralized mine-water impoundment in Svystunova Gully (doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15528794).

    #InhuletsRiver — posts related to the research project on the technogenic impact on the Inhulets River (Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine), in which I take part.

    #GeoDataArt #GeoSpectralArt — beautiful images that emerge during the analysis of satellite data.

    The list will expand as my projects evolve.
