Honored to share that my spatial analytics research has been featured as an official Success Story on The City of Calgary’s Open Data Portal.
The feature highlights how open municipal datasets can be combined with remote sensing data to evaluate urban heat islands, land cover composition, and microclimate dynamics across Calgary neighbourhoods.
Key aspects of the project:
🔹 Processing multi-spectral satellite imagery to model surface temperature (LST) and vegetation dynamics.
🔹 Translating complex spatial data into accessible, decision-ready insights for climate resilience and urban planning.
🔹 Demonstrating the practical impact of open data in civic-focused research.A sincere thank you to The City of Calgary Open Data team for recognizing this work and highlighting the value of turning raw open data into actionable insights.

FREE Virtual Webinar - Map Intelligence – Map Reading and Interpretation for Informed Citizens
Monday, August 10 • 12 PM - 1:15 PM MDT US

“Whether you're a curious beginner or just want to sharpen your spatial smarts, this session is perfect for becoming a more informed citizen. Dive into the world of maps and learn tips and tricks to navigate and understand any map like a pro. Don't miss out on this fun, interactive online experience!
Maps are a form of language that needs to be learned to be understood.
Everyone says ‘oh, I have GPS in my car or on my phone…’ But GPS is really just a mathematical monkey trick to send your approximate location from satellites to display on a map of the world. Without the map, GPS has limited value.
Maps, as much as any form of media, contain a wealth of data, information, and knowledge about the world that we inhabit. But to decode that information, we need map intelligence.
Map intelligence is the ability of a map user to decode the information about the world that the map maker (cartographer) is trying to convey to us.
Why is this important? We encounter maps almost every day. From the ubiquitous daily weather map of our region, to maps we find in our history or current affairs books, maps that tell us where to vote and who we can vote for, maps presented by developers, or policy advocates to our elected officials, maps are important for our lives. Studies show that 50% of all local government employees use maps in some form for their work.
This free, 75-minute online workshop introduces the basic knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to interpret the maps that you encounter in your life.’’

🚨 FEMA’s Hazus v7.2 Is Here — A Major Upgrade For Disaster Risk Modeling
--
https://www.fema.gov/flood-maps/products-tools/hazus <-- shared link to FEMA HAZUS download, documentation, use case, etc
--
[I used to work some with Hazus back in the back, but my career changed path; I still appreciate its strength and unity of purpose (sic) #alldataisspatial]
H/T @Laban "L.J." Johnson | Founder, LJ Learn & Concordia Initiative | Crisis Support · Leadership Development · Community Resilience | Bridging worlds to help people rise
“FEMA’s Hazus GIS platform has been updated with a new ArcGIS Pro–based version, bringing faster, more powerful tools for estimating losses from floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural hazards.
Key updates in Hazus 7.2 include:
• Streamlined workflows for flood and hurricane modeling
• New Earthquake ShakeMap integration using USGS data
• Expanded and improved results exports and reporting (including geodatabase outputs)
• Stronger security with known vulnerabilities addressed
• Performance improvements and optimized installation process
• [Significantly enhanced and comprehensive summary reports for flood and earthquake are now available for download.]
• Full integration with ArcGIS Pro (3.4–3.6) for a modern GIS experience
This release represents a significant step forward in how hazard planners, emergency managers, and GIS professionals analyze and prepare for disaster impacts…”

“FEMA’s Hazus program provides software, data, methods, and guidance for estimating risk from natural hazards. Hazus can estimate building damages, economic losses, displaced households, casualties, debris generation and more resulting from a natural hazard event and can be used in all phases of emergency management…”

One more quick byproduct of my MDEM development: a bivariate map integrating volumetric structural data (SAR) with surface temperature (LST). This approach identifies the exceptionally intensive dissipative role of volumetric vegetation structure (trees and tall shrubs). By accounting for these high-performance cooling elements, we can better understand how they supplement traditional landscaping to enhance the city's overall thermal resilience.

What about a 📢 Digital Tool Slam? Participants have five minutes to present their app, model, simulation environment, or data visualisation in an engaging way. The audience votes to award the most innovative tool - very similar to a science slam, but specifically focused on digital tools. More information 👉 https://conference.ioer.info/en/

Adaptive Thresholding (AT) For Snowmelt Detection With Calibrated Enhanced-Resolution Brightness Temperatures (CETB) - Timing And Regional Patterns For Case Study Of Alaska
--
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.srs.2026.100390 <-- shared paper
--
“HIGHLIGHTS:
• Data-driven Adaptive Thresholding (AT) for snowmelt detection using PMW CETB data.
• AT improves melt detection accuracy to ≤ 1.0 day MAE over legacy methods in Alaska.
• AT captures spatial and regional melt variability linked to snow class and terrain.
• AT is sensor-agnostic, scalable across frequencies and polarizations for broad use..."
