🌳 I am finalizing a tool that allows for a rapid and accurate assessment of the green infrastructure in any Calgary community. This isn't just "green color" on a map—my algorithm recognizes the differences in the quality and structure of the urban environment.
What we can quantify right now:
🔹 Lawn (Grasses, low shrubs): Open spaces that tend to dry out and heat up quickly during summer.
🔹 Park (Sparse Canopy): Scattered groups of trees in parks and private yards.
🔹 Forest (Dense Canopy): The "lungs" of a neighborhood, characterized by closed canopies and thick undergrowth. These areas provide vital protection against urban heat.❗ Why does this matter?
Using Inglewood as an example (see the chart), we can see that "dense forest" covers only about 5% of the area. This is a critical indicator of the territory's climate resilience.#Calgary #UrbanForestry #CityPlanning #DataScience #Inglewood #CalgaryEnvironment #GIS #RemoteSensing #MachineLearning #Inglewood #Rstats #GreennesOfCalgary #YYC #yycPlanning

Urban trees are more than just decoration—they reduce heat and improve air quality in our busy cities.

To combat the health impacts of extreme heat, trees are key. They provide crucial cooling, which helps keep outdoor spaces safe and accessible. Initiatives like Phoenix’s Cool Corridors show how planting trees in high-use areas can promote activity and resilience. With rapidly rising global temperatures, investing in tree cover is essential for maintaining healthy, active communities.

"New Haven is planting 1,200 white oaks and chestnut oaks in park spaces this spring, as part of a multi-state Native Oak Regeneration experiment. The idea is to monitor the soil and see how each tree fares in order to apply the lessons in future replanting on a much larger scale."

Governor #NedLamont has a proposal to boost the “tree canopy” in CT cities by 5% by 2040. This is so important as temperatures rise — the goal is admirable considering ongoing loss in every US city, but should be much higher

Hello!
I'm a geospatial researcher currently focusing on future scenario #GIS modelling of #urbanforestry & #urbanplanning in the elementslab @ University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada).
Research interests include #urbangreenness & #trees - including #health & #wellbeing implications - also #LULC, #remotesensing, #R (#posit), #GEE, + other open-source software.
I also love #gardening, #plants, #flowers, #fungi, #foraging, #diy, #art, #design, #maps!
