Visualizing W. Tobler's "First law of geography" with spatial autocorrelation, an interactive notebook with @observablehq :
"I invoke the first law of geography: everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things." Tobler, 1970. French version: https://observablehq.com/@ljegou/autocorrelation_spatiale W. Tobler introduced this idea somewhat jokingly at an International Geographical Union meeting in 1969, on the first ideas about using a computer in geography, and then explored it further in a 1970 paper. This hypothesis has become a fertile research question, which has produced many ot
How does access to green space impact public health? How can green space data provide actionable information about our communities and where people’s needs are or aren’t being met? The Massive Data Institute at Georgetown’s McCourt School of Public Policy welcomes your participation in the virtual Green Space Data Challenge. Participants will have the entire […]
Posting another #Introduction, now that I've settled in at ecoevo.social.
I'm a research scientist broadly trained in #Ecology & #Evolution, specifically studying #Mycorrhiza & #Plant #Soil #Microbe interactions in #TemperateHardwoodForests. I also dabble in other areas, including #Rstats, #Bioinformatics, #MolecularBiology, and #SpatialStats.
