“This is a hill I’ll die on!” - says the scientist feeding smelly paste to rats running in a home-made maze with hills and troughs just like the waves in the rat’s brain and the emotions in the scientist’s life… 🏔️ 🌊 🧠

@rmgrieves 's latest paper is out, with rats on hills, #PlaceCells recordings and modelling looking at how the brain maps real-life environments: Hippocampal place cells map terrain geometry independently of behavior

It was great fun to work with him and Jeff Taube on this, even with all the emotional rollercoasters (inherent to science-making)!

Drones Adopt 3D Mapping to Navigate GPS-Denied Zones

As adversaries ramp up electronic warfare against GPS signals, drones are turning to 3D mapping to stay on course, even in zones where GPS is denied. This game-changing tech helps drones determine their exact position, ensuring they can navigate with precision, no matter what.

Korea Times: Naver turns all of Seoul into 3D digital map experience. “Naver said Friday that its Naver Map platform has expanded coverage of its ‘Flying View 3D’ service across the entire capital, allowing users to virtually navigate Seoul’s landmarks, neighborhoods and natural scenery in high-resolution 3D imagery.”

Day 6/100: Antarctica doesn't look like this (but what if it did?) ❄️☁️

200m resolution elevation data from RAMP rendered in #ThreeJS with a twist: fluffy clouds instead of ice and rock.

Pure visual experimentation.
Workflow: #QGIS → export as image → Three.js fly navigation + transparent texture

Sometimes maps don't need realism. Sometimes looking at data in an unfamiliar way reveals patterns you wouldn't notice otherwise.

Ein Forschungsteam der TU #München hat erstmals weltweit alle #Gebäude erfasst.

Der Global Building Atlas dokumentiert 2,75 Milliarden Bauten und liefert 3D-Daten zu Volumen und Höhe. Die Analyse zeigt deutliche Unterschiede beim #Gebäudevolumen pro Person.

Während #Finnland fast 4000 Kubikmeter bietet, sind es in #Niger nur 14. Die Daten sollen helfen, #Stadtentwicklung gezielter zu planen und soziale Ungleichheiten sichtbar zu machen.
