Title: Exploratory Analysis of Massive Movement Data When: Wednesday 10 March 2021, 12:00pm UK/GMT Register at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/rgs-ibg-giscience-webinar-exploratory-analysis-of-massive-movement-data-tickets-142863810503?aff=ebdssbeac Abstract: The potential of Big Data for understanding human mobility patterns and other complex phenomena in transportation and movement research is significant. Many contemporary Big Data sources have clear spatiotemporal dimensions. However, Big Spatiotemporal Data is usually messy […]
Jakub’s GIScience webinar is now online! Abstract: Discovering and describing spatial patterns is an important element of many geographical studies with spatial patterns being related to ecological and sociological processes. While spatial patterns are often clearly visible on maps, it is not easy to unequivocally decide if two areas are much alike or delineate regions […]
