1st year anniversary: One year ago today, I set out to curate geospatial news independently and openly with Spatialists.ch. A year, 164 posts, and countless discoveries later, it’s time to look back – and ask you about your feedback regarding this service for the geo...

I’ve just released an alpha version of animated maps in libgd-gis.

The goal is simple: generate animated map images (GIF) directly from Ruby, using GeoJSON and incremental rendering — no external map servers, no JS pipelines.

This is early and experimental, but already useful for visualizing changes over time.

I’ve got some help polishing my slides for my presentation of my QGIS Sidewalk Priority Toolkit today at 2pm Eastern / 8 pm CET.

I will also cover conducting a Sidewalk Equity audit and the Walk Potential algorithm.

So stelle ich mir heute in etwa eine funktionierende ÖPNV-Karte vor:

Hat noch Verbesserungspotential, aber ist mMn immer noch besser als alles was der ZVV bisher zu bieten hat...

Might as well do an #introduction post as it has been a while...

Hello there Fediverse! I am an environmental archaeologist interested in how past communities interacted with and shaped their environments (and vice versa). Just finished my #PhD (Physical #Geography at #Plymouth) focusing on the #HumberheadLevels. For my thesis, I combined #pollen analysis, #GIS, and #geoarchaeology to understand relationships between people and #wetland #landscapes. I recently passed my viva, so I am currently looking for work.

My published work thus far includes contributions on land cover reconstruction in complex wetland systems and chapters on #anarchist approaches to #archaeology and #heritage practice. I have a few more pieces in the works, and little time to do them all.

As far as research goes, I have been mostly interested in challenging the 'pristine #nature vs human impact' binary, the politics of how we interpret past landscapes, and unpicking what we actually mean when we talk about 'natural' environments and the messy reality of human-environment coevolution.

Reviving this account to catch up with your lovely faces and to see what's happening in #archaeology #paleoecology #gis #wetlands #politicalecology and related fields. 💗

I've passed my #viva (yay!) and can now share two recent publications:

First, our article on reconstructing prehistoric land cover in the Humberhead Levels is now out in Vegetation History and #Archaeobotany.

We applied the Multiple Scenario Approach to produce spatially-informed quantitative reconstructions across four #prehistoric periods, working through the complexities of #wetland-rich 'blue-green' #landscapes where #freshwater and #marine systems intersect.

Second, I contributed to the #archaeology chapter in The Palgrave Handbook of #Anarchism (March 2026), which connects #anarchist theory and #history to contemporary political developments.

More publications on the way as well and on to what comes next, whatever that might be (pls send me your #postdoc postings 🙏 😅 ).
