spopt, an R package for spatial optimization, is now in general release on CRAN.

spopt-r is inspired by the Python package of the same name. Features include:

- Regionalization algorithms for building contiguous districts / territories;
- Facility location solvers;
- Route and fleet optimization solvers;
- Optimized corridor routing on cost rasters;
- The classic Huff model for market analysis;
- Pathways for using open-source routing engines like R5 and OSRM.

Solvers are written in C++ and Rust so they run fast.

🚨NEW Python package🚨
city2graph is a Python library that converts datasets like buildings, streets, transport networks, and mobility flows into Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). https://t.co/DvskhYPoD3 🧵

I'm not really a "coder" :)))
Data viz in Python is always tough for me, cuz I never fully get the logic and syntax of such Matplotlib or Seaborn.
Then I found #plotnine - a sister of #ggplot2 in R, life just got so much easier! 😊

🚨 Breakthrough in ecosystem monitoring!

We’re releasing the first global Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) dataset at 🌍 30m resolution, spanning 2000–2024 with bi-monthly updates.

🌱 What is GPP?

It measures the amount of carbon that plants take from the atmosphere. In short → it shows us how productive ecosystems are, how much they grow, and how much carbon they can absorb.

🧵 Why this matters & how it can be used 👇
