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:

“Using official Croatian census data as a reference, [the researchers] analysed three global population datasets across seven Croatian cities to investigate how population allocation differs between built-up and non-built-up areas.
Although the datasets often produced similar population totals, their spatial allocation differed substantially. GHS-POP concentrated over 1 million more inhabitants within built-up areas, while WorldPop allocated approximately 290,000 more inhabitants to non-built-up land-cover classes, demonstrating how similar population totals can mask substantial differences in spatial population patterns.
The question is not only how many people are estimated, but also where the model places them…”

Enjoyable first day at the Turing #UrbanAnalytics #conference in Liverpool (Virtually). Often online attendance can feel disconnected from conferences, but today I felt so engaged with the presentations and discussions between presenters and panellists. Looking forward to day two. #PhDlife #PhD #geography #engaged #LightningTalks #KeyNotes #Panel

Informative differentiation between green infrastructure and green space by Dr Wenjing Zhang. A great insight into #GroundsWell and data implementation for mapping urban green and blue spaces (UGBS) at the Turing #UrbanAnalytics #conference.
I may be biased being a PhD student alongside GroundsWell, however #UGBS can significantly benefit physical and mental well-being, alongside environmental and biodiversity benefits. Essential research for public health! @urbangreenbluespaces #GeoHealth #PhD

Interesting presentation by Professor @alexsingleton at the Turing #UrbanAnalytics conference in Liverpool. My main takeaway was the promising insight for the academic process of writing and publishing #books. I have been keen to write a book prior to my academic journey and the urge has returned (post PhD study of course - I have a thesis to write instead). #academia #research #conference #KeyNotes #LightningTalks #OnlineAttendee @phdstudents @phdlife

Lovely to be here in rainy wet miserable Liverpool for a Turing Institute Urban Analytics workshop on “Inequalities in the recovery of cities and regions”.
@darribas gets us going 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Change of plan to online attendance for me at the #Turing #UrbanAnalytics conference today in #Liverpool. I did not wish to provide potential #COVID19 to the scientific community. Enjoy today to all attending in person. #GDSL #research #PhDStudents #PhDlife #PhD #geography @phdstudents @phdlife

Looking forward to attending the #UrbanAnalytics conference tomorrow in Liverpool. This will be my second conference to attend since joining the Geographic Data Science Lab in as a PhD student and I am extremely excited.
Any other Mastodon users attending? #conference #geography #PhD #research #PhDStudents @phdlife @phdstudents

Tomorrow the who-is-who in #UrbanAnalytics will descend over Liverpool to discuss all things cities+data+analytics (w/ a bit of @geography of course! Official info at https://www.turing.ac.uk/events/ua-20-inequalities-recovery-cities-and-regions). If this is your first visit (or want to explore new places!), I've compiled a map of three places I love for three staples many like (☕ 🍻 🍰 ):

Special prize for those who certify hitting all nine while in town!
