New paper! My PhD student Ali Moayedi explored how geese use geomagnetic, wind, and solar cues to navigate & revealed flexible multi-sensory strategies in real conditions. With @jedalong.bsky.social, @fbenitez.bsky.social, Andrea Koelzsch and Helmut Kruckenberg. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Second keynote in #GISRUK25 with provocative ideas and topic, Data after Dark by Prof Michele Acuto by @bristoluni.bsky.social

We close our #GISRUK25 participation with a great talk by Ali Moradi another BEGIN PhD student, presenting Navigation Between Stopovers by Migratory Geese: Compass Mechanisms and Wind-aligned Course talk. Congrats!! @udemsar.bsky.social @standrewssgsd.bsky.social

After the inspiring keynote in the #GISRUK25 now we have our PhD student, Meixuan Liu, presenting her progress on Using Machine Learning Methods to Estimate Sea Surface DMS Concentration for Studying Seabird Movements 👏👏 @udemsar.bsky.social @standrewssgsd.bsky.social

Happy to be for the first time in Bristol University for the #GISRUK25. Great having our chair as the first keynote speaker Urska Demsar with the Integrated Science of Movement 👏

🚀 Our first BEGIN Seminar of 2025 is happening next week! 🗓 Feb 25 | 15:00| Online (Teams) 🎙 Dr. Weiming Huang (Univ. of Leeds) will talk about Geospatial Foundation Models—how large-scale models can transform geospatial analysis. Register here #GeospatialAI #FoundationModels #BEGINseminar

For example, you might like to work with @fbenitez.bsky.social + focus on advancing environmental monitoring through data fusion methods. Proposal: shorturl.at/iqLxb Candidate should have a solid technical background in spatial data science or remote sensing 🛰️🌎

Save the date! The next BES Movement Ecology SIG annual meeting is taking place on the 2nd-3rd of September 2025 in Norwich. More details to come in the new year! 🌍🧪👩‍🔬 @britishecolsoc.bsky.social

The AGILE PhD School 7th edition, was amazing! Thanks to the candidates and my colleagues Diego Pajarito, Alina Ristea, Hoda Allahbakhshi and Prof Carlos Granell for such wonderful effort to support the #GIScience community and the PhD journey in our field #AGILE #Valencia #Academia #GeoAI

Job alert 🚨 ✨ Our lab is searching for a technical assistant/research technician 🫀 to investigate heart regeneration and repair. Heidelberg is an awesome place to do science and the quality of living is great! Please forward to anyone who may be interested and please repost to spread the word 🙏

If you work on movement analysis, here are the people to follow; for now, it is primarily with movement ecology researchers; help me to include more people into a broader community: go.bsky.app/TGqNkGo

We thought that the best way to show the impact of spatial data science to our current students was to share real stories from alumni who are now having an impact on the private sector in the UK. #GISDay2024 @udemsar.bsky.social

🌍✨ Celebrating #GISDay at the School of Geography, University of St Andrews! @BEGIN-StAndrews An Alumni Workshop today highlights how #SpatialDataScience launched incredible careers. Thanks to our alumni for inspiring the next wave of spatial data scientists ! #Geography #StAndrews #GISDay

Project 2, supervised by @fbenitez.bsky.social Identification of native vegetation species by linking UAV imagery with terrestrial spectroradiometers iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships... We will use spatial data science methods to classify native vegetation from UAV imagery and field spectrometer data.
