What does it mean to exhibit "local" travel behaviour? In his latest paper @MiladMzdh @westernuGeoEnv develops a new method to quantify "localness" in urban travel patterns using GPS tracking data combined with OSM POIs, take a look! #Mobility #GIS https://t.co/8fL5a8de4r

Congratulations to @CameraTrapNat (Natalia Hrynko) @westernuGeoEnv for a successful MSc defence! Nat implemented a #CameraTrap study at the Long Point National Wildlife Area to quantify #coyote abundance and seasonal habitat use. #SpatialEcology.

Congratulations to Matthew Ketchin @westernuGeoEnv for defending his MSc thesis on studying patterns of outdoor recreation in Canada! Matt used data fusion with multiple datasets to map spatial-temporal patterns of outdoor recreation intensity. #GIS #OutdoorRecreation

[Jed Long @jedalong]

Great research led by @HailyeeH82484 @westernuGeoEnv studying travel patterns during the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse using @TELUS Network Mobility data through their data for good program.

Exploring Travel Patterns During the 2024 Solar Eclipse using De-identified Mobility Data

PhD student Hui Jeong Ha and Professor Jed Long used TELUS Data for Good program to reveal that nearly 600,000 Canadians travelled to see the eclipse. Read more: https://t.co/FbamtlgOUU

@bart_kra @AnneKScharf @safilabmpi @MethodsEcolEvol @MovebankTeam Nice stuff @bart_kra and others! Moving my packages to use move2 also.

[Jed Long @jedalong]

Big Congratulations to @MiladMzdh for successfully defending his PhD today! Milad's thesis explores new methods for integrating geographical context into human mobility analysis and combines empirical and methodolgoical developments #GIS #mobility

[Jed Long @jedalong]

@jakub_nowosad Also check out emdist package for Earth movers distance and I think some others

[Jed Long @jedalong]

@jakub_nowosad Hey Jakub check out our work on the structural similarity index and the related r code.... We are working on an r package but it's pretty simple to do

Please report bugs/issues on GitHub, as I am sure there are some things I have missed.

If you wish to continue with archived version of the package you can download older version zip files or email me and I will send you the code.

[Jed Long @jedalong]

wildilfeDI #Rstats Package to study S-T interaction in wildlife tracking data has been updated on CRAN with a major change to now use exclusively use the #move2 class of trajectory objects.

[Jed Long @jedalong]

These changes are for long term stability of package, but also provide some efficienices and simplifications of some post analysis processes, more details here:
