The land transformation model-cluster framework: Applying k-means and the Spark computing environment for large scale land change analytics
Omrani H., has a new article published in the EMS journal. The paper explores the challenges of simulating land change across large regions and spans of time. The new mode, called LTM-Cluster, is a scalable modeling framework aimed to benefit research involving large datasets. The paper uses the Spark environment to reduce the burden of high computational
Towards place-based exploration of Instagram: Using co-design to develop an interdisciplinary geovisualization prototype
Catherine Jones has a new article published in the Open Access Journal of Spatial Information Science. The paper explores the co-design process of adapting a digital humanities tool for the geovisualisation and exploration of place-based information encoded in Instagram posts. The paper uses data associated to the #Via Francigena cultural route. It reflects upon the process of data
Models Map City Residents’ Aversion to Pollution
