A field trip at an international geopark conference. Not one geological site visited.

Is a geopark still about geology?

New essay — from Karangsambung's tectonic origin to what geoparks risk losing when science yields to tourism.

📄 Abstract in English. Full essay in Bahasa Indonesia.

Defending a PhD in public is one of the stranger academic rituals. Mine's on YouTube now.

The defence covers ML in geoscience: how neural networks can be applied to seismic data, what happens when you build physics into your architecture, and what I learned from four years of research.

If you've ever wondered what a PhD defence actually looks like, here you go.

My research on AI was cited in an Italian geoscience publication analyzing why generative AI fails at geography—especially broken proximity errors—pointing to structural limits in AI spatial reasoning.

☀️ Albedo vs. Surface Temperature: Why a "Bright" City Isn't Always Cooler

❗ Key findings from the current stage of research:
🔹 Vegetation (NDVI): Based on modeling results, biomass health accounted for approximately 40% of the variance in Calgary’s temperature regime in 2025.
🔹 Albedo (Reflectance): While it is commonly assumed that high surface reflectance reduces heat absorption, satellite data (broadband shortwave albedo) reveals a far more nuanced picture.

🔥 The Seton Anomaly
The scatter plot clearly shows a wide distribution of values. The community of Seton is a particularly striking example: despite its high average albedo (likely due to light-colored soils at construction sites and new roofing materials), the area remains in a "heat zone" (classified as Warm Background in my model).

❗ Albedo plays a role, but it is not the dominant factor in Calgary’s environment.
