Health can be influenced by multiple environmental exposures & their interactions, and how we can consider them within a spatial machine learning (ML) model; check out the 📢new paper exploring these complex aspects using explainable AI tools! (1/3) doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

Dear @COP29_AZ negotiators, please remember: Our health is NOT negotiable. #COP29 @WHO @RockefellerFdn @wellcometrust @GCHAlliance @WHOYouthCouncil

📢TorchGeo 0.6.0 is now released! This adds 18 new datasets, 15 new datamodules, and 27 new pre-trained models, encompassing 11 months of work by 23 contributors 🔥 The mission is for machine learning experts to work with geospatial data, and for remote sensing experts to explore machine learning solutions 👩‍💻 github.com/microsoft/torc…

Finally, we observed that the high CC-risk grass patches are primarily located in areas of higher socioeconomic deprivation. Indicating loss of ecosystem function for the most vulnerable population group under increasing climate change pressure (4/4)

Our result showed that grass patches lose considerable evapotranspiration capacity due to water stress, that most vulnerable areas are in high-density urban zones, and that groundwater access may reduce the pressure if watered during high water stress conditions (3/4).

Green infrastructure (GI)🌱 provides ecosystem services to offset the effect of climate change (CC), but what if they cannot function? How can we measure the risk GI from CC? Check out our (Jeremy Carter, @Mell_GIPlanning) new paper exploring these (1/4): t.ly/EOSN1

The nonlinear relations & exposure interactions are critical to understanding the sweet & sour spots of exposures & their influence on health outcomes (3/3)

This study showed using ML for health data analysis for environmental exposures (e.g., air pollution, greenspace) is not free of spatial autocorrelations & typical ML modeling structure may be sub-optimal as they might over or underestimate the influences of exposures (2/3)

Thrilled to share our latest publication in @ijgis! 🎉 Our review dives into how street view imagery and cutting-edge visual intelligence techniques are reshaping built environment auditing. Check out our full article for more: doi.org/10.1080/136588…

While Geo-tagged 🌍Street View Images 📸 are super useful for different research, commercial data's legal & copyright aspects can cause challenges in using them. We (W/ @HelbichMarco, M. Danish, @bricker) explored these in this 📢new paper! Check it out: doi.org/10.1016/j.heal…
