πŸš€ New in PyLandStats! The PyLandStats Python package by Marti Bosch now supports pattern-based spatial analysis! πŸŒπŸ“Š Check out an example here: πŸ”— https://buff.ly/3EOVQIc #Geospatial #GeoPython #SpatialAnalysis #LandscapeEcology

Forest fragmentation in the Western Himalayan Region πŸŒ²πŸ“‰ Our new study analyzes 30 years (1990–2020) of forest cover change & fragmentation in the Western Himalayan Region using #Landsat imagery & #landscapemetrics. Read here: https://buff.ly/4aXuBrc #ForestConservation #Himalayas #Deforestation

Here’s a useful list of Diamond Open Access Journals by Lorena Abad, covering topics like Geoinformatics, Remote Sensing, Geomorphology, and more. Feel free to add suggestions via PR. Check it out: https://buff.ly/3WxYxnT #OpenAccess #Geoinformatics #SpatialDataScience

To all new {wbw} users, please note that the package is still under active development, with only about 7% of the planned features currently implemented πŸ’πŸ’¨

Aditya Dahiya is documenting his journey through Geocomputation with R with detailed summaries, tables, and mapsβ€”often adding fresh insights along the way. πŸŒπŸ“š Highly recommended! Explore his work here: https://buff.ly/42rnAg4 #geocompx #rspatial #gischat

πŸŽ‰ The "Geocomputation with Python" book has been officially published today! Dive into the world of spatial analysis and geospatial data with Python. πŸ“–πŸ Book's website: https://buff.ly/3NK2uBq #geocompx #geopython #spatialanalysis

Amazing to me how useful looking at data in 2D PCA continues to be, even though the approach sounds crazy on paperβ€”"p-dimensional ellipsoid", rantings of a madman. PCA is the cockroach of dimension reduction. I expect it to be present in any advanced galactic civilization.

The scale_sample() function is back in the {landscapemetrics} package! πŸŽ‰ You can easily visualize landscape metrics across changing sample scalesβ€”perfect for multi-scale spatial analysis. πŸŒπŸ“Š Learn more: https://buff.ly/4hvXBIK #rspatial #landscapemetrics #rstats #GIS

#jobfairy We are looking for a tenure-track assistant professor in GIScience! Please like and share widely!

Need fast raster processing in R? πŸš€ Check out {fasterRaster} by Adam B. Smith, an R package designed for large spatial rasters and vectors through GRASS GIS, built to complement {terra} & {sf} 🌍 Learn more: https://buff.ly/4htiGTR #rspatial #rstats #GIS #grassgis

The shapefiles are gone! πŸŽ‰ The {spData} package has officially dropped all datasets in the shapefile format, moving toward modern and efficient geospatial data standards. πŸš€πŸŒ Upgrade your workflows with {spData}: https://buff.ly/4htZ5D3 #rspatial #rstats #GIS #Geocompx

Simplifying number of vertices in #Rstats? Avoid using st_simplify in the sf library and instead use ms-simplify in the rmapshaper library: r.geocompx.org/geometry-ope... @jakubnowosad.com @robinlovelace.bsky.social

Are you interested in the new story map feature in {mapgl}, but all of your #rstats mapping already uses Leaflet? Good news: the package's story map feature supports Leaflet as well! Check out this video - it's an example from the R Leaflet docs translated to a story map.

Can #rstats move Antarctica to the north pole? Of course. Check Michael Sumner solution at https://buff.ly/3ZkHK8l #rspatial #maps
