🌳 Calgary Tree Equity Tool — Updated! I’ve updated the Calgary Tree Equity Tool (calgarytreeequity.ca) with a redesigned user interface. The equity score now also includes land surface temperature which accounts for urban heat island effects.

Want to learn more in person? I’ll be at the @ClimateHubYYC Tree Party on May 31 to talk about the Calgary Tree Equity Tool. Come say hello and let’s talk trees and data. 🌐 calgaryclimatehub.ca/tree_party

I’ve also written a detailed walkthrough of how the tool was built, including data sources and analysis methods: 🔗 saadiqm.com/2025/05/28/bui…

We'd like to invite you to attend SatCamp in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, from October 1 to 3, 2024. Because of its unique nature, space is very limited. There are still a few spots left that include accommodations. satcamp.xyz

#yyccc's historic housing hearings revealed Calgarians across the political divide love their trees & care about tree canopy. Hub #NatureNode members @DruhFarrell @winexus @saadiqmohiuddin & Heather Addy couldn't agree more. What's up with trees in #YYC? podcastics.com/episode/303342…

@ArynToombs Great use of isochrones in the visualization!

The Inglewood Aquatic Centre is set to close permanently in Dec. The City says it has to do with cost and declining use, but local residents dispute those assessments. Also an analysis of walking access by residents to city suggested alternatives. livewirecalgary.com/2024/05/23/ing…

We've brought together a small group involved in building Large Earth Models to share approaches, results, current challenges, & future aspirations. @EarthGenome @OurRadiantEarth @IBMResearch @MSFTResearch @NASAEarth @UAHuntsville @myzeusai @Satellogic @ClarkUniversity @brunosan

@chrispyross I don't have all the details about how the City processed their lidar data. But they do have a brief description in their open data portal: data.calgary.ca/Environment/Tr…

@saadiqmohiuddin are you able to share a bit about how tree canopy is integrated via the city lidar data?

Excited to share a project I've been working on! The Calgary Tree Equity mapping tool shows how equitable tree coverage is in Calgary: calgarytreeequity.ca. It calculates a Tree Equity Score and measures how well the benefits of trees are reaching communities. (1/4)

You can also see tree canopy change over time. Tuxedo Park tree canopy has been hit hard by inner city redevelopment in recent years (8% loss between 2017 and 2022). You can see the loss in canopy for a row of infill houses. (4/4)

Tree canopy change over time is also concerning. Between 2017 and 2022, established NE neighbourhoods have the highest tree canopy loss, with communities such as Rundle, Whitehorn, Marlborough and Pineridge losing around 10% canopy each. (3/4)

Come to the Genesis Centre on Jan 30, 6pm to learn about tree equity, and how you can help improve the tree canopy in NE Calgary! Check out the link for more details. calgaryclimatehub.ca/tree_equity_wo… @ClimateHubYYC #yyc #trees

@buttsmeister Thanks @buttsmeister! Vehicle collision data would also get some good results since there's more data points available. Excited to see what this looks like in Oakland.

Awesome project @saadiqmohiuddin Would love to run through this w/ TIMS traffic collision data in Oakland against OSM road network. saadiqm.com/2023/12/16/ped…

@dkwiens This is awesome! Like your map more than iMapBC :) I wanted to do something like this for historical Alberta railway maps but the data is pretty messy: railways.library.ualberta.ca/MapHome-track-…

1/6 🌍 Join our team! 🚀 We're looking for a Technical Partnerships Lead to help shape the future of geospatial services. If you are excited about community engagement, business development, and solution engineering, this role is for you.

We thought that #FOSS4GNA was the perfect time to share something we've been working on with @cloudnativegeo @NASAEarthData: The Cloud-Optimized Geospatial Formats Guide! 🔗 Learn more: cloudnativegeo.org/blog/2023/10/i… #geospatial #EarthSciencedata @foss4gna

Looking forward to participating in #WFUF2023 this week! On Wednesday, we'll present during the session: "Do the right thing: Planning, designing, and managing the urban forest to strengthen its resilience to external shocks." We hope to see you there!

Testing out serving Parquet GTFS files and querying in the browser with DuckDB-Wasm. Exciting cloud native alternative to loading CSV into Postgres or SQLite. saadiqm.com/gtfs-parquet-d…

Did you know that northeast Calgary neighbourhoods have the lowest tree cover in the city? Come by the Genesis Centre on Tuesday July 25, 6pm to learn about Tree Equity in NE Calgary! @ClimateHubYYC calgaryclimatehub.ca/tree_equity_wo…
