Cyclones and insect numbers impact mangroves. A new paper from UBDC's Qiaosi Li shows how a better understanding of the resilience of these ecosystems, using multispectral Sentinel-2 images and airborne LiDAR Scanning, can help improve conservation strategies: https://ow.ly/lEQ850PnOOo

Multiple data sources, tools and policy demands are increasing pressures on transport planners and researchers. In this hybrid UBDC webinar at 3pm on Thursday 10 October, Robin Lovelace - Professor of Transport Data Science at the Leeds Institute for Transport Studies and Head of Data Science at the UK government agency, Active Travel England - examines how best to meet these demands and help future-proof transport planning. He will map out the current landscape of open tools for transport planning, distinguish between open source and open access models, and demonstrate how reproducibility is the key, not just for research, but also for socially sustainable, high impact transport planning practice. Drawing on his experience developing, deploying and collaborating on tools such as the Propensity to Cycle Tool for England and Wales, the Network Planning Tool for Scotland and the Biclar tool for Portugal, Prof Lovelace aims to generate debate and provide insight into how the transport planning could develop as the data revolution accelerates.

Colombia nos Une (Colombia Unites Us), the Glasgow Latin American Research Network (GLARN) and the Urban Big Data Centre are proud to present Colombia in Dialogue. Join us at the Advanced Research Centre of the University of Glasgow (Studio 2) on Tuesday 8 October at 3pm for a conversation about biodiversity, environmental justice, and peace in Colombia. Our panel brings Colombian speakers from civil society and academia to exchange ideas and perspectives related to the protection of biodiversity, leveraging environmental justice with local communities, and peacebuilding in Colombia. We will also enjoy a live audio-visual synthesis performance that creates an organic, powerful, and ever-evolving dialogue that explores themes of nature, climate change, and pressing global issues and includes research outcomes from community-based research projects in Colombia.

With the call for expressions of interest open until Monday 16 September, Dr. Sam Grant, Research Associate at UBDC, highlights existing and potential applications for the rich Adzuna dataset to provide fresh insights into UK economic and #LabourMarket trends. The Adzuna dataset offers a rare opportunity for researchers to explore trends in the UK labour market through a large-scale, high-frequency dataset. Comprising over 350 million job advertisements collected through weekly snapshots of Adzuna.co.uk, the UK’s most popular job search engine, this dataset provides detailed insights into how the world of work is evolving.

🚦 Our #UrbanTraffic study reveals fresh insights into how #COVID19 dramatically changed travel behaviours. We examine the relationship between traffic flows, urban infrastructure, and socio-demographic indicators before, during and after the pandemic. 🚗 Among our key findings: areas with more young and white residents see higher traffic; green spaces correlate with lower traffic; major roads between cities and towns experience heavier flows; and the effects of green spaces on traffic vary by distance. 🚴♂️ COVID-19 also led to a significant reduction in long-distance travel, opening up opportunities for encouraging more active travel which could help shape future urban planning. #UrbanData #TrafficAnalysis #COVID19Impact #ActiveTravel 🚶♀️ Access the full paper here: https://ow.ly/Nfxj50Tavkn
