GeoLibre v0.5.0 is out! This update significantly expands data format support, making it easier to work with a wide range of geospatial datasets in a lightweight, modern GIS environment.

Newly supported formats and services include: GeoJSON, Shapefile, GeoPackage, GeoParquet, KML/KMZ, FlatGeobuf, PMTiles MBTiles, GeoTIFF, Zarr, LiDAR point clouds, Gaussian Splatting, and ArcGIS services.

GeoLibre is a lightweight, cloud-native GIS built with MapLibre and Tauri. It runs directly in the browser and is also available as a standalone cross-platform desktop application at only ~30 MB.

🦜 Can #SDMs and satellite #LiDAR improve conservation planning? In Peru, models for seven threatened species reveal key ecological corridors, gaps in protected-area coverage, and how GEDI data can support #connectivity and conservation.

“Conservation requires looking beyond Red Lists alone. Across European #foodwebs, non-threatened species play a strong role in maintaining #networkconnectivity.”

Prediction, prediction, prediction...

But I actually prefer inference! Inference allows us to extract powerful insights from our data, and it's always the foundation for making accurate predictions.

Feeling like my "Applied #MachineLearning in Python" e-book needed more emphasis on inference, I added new chapters on spectral clustering and multidimensional scaling yesterday. These updates include free, well-documented workflows, complete with data and code.

Great to see the preprint of our paper in @ESA_Ecology: a data paper with results of last years field work in #Doñana with camera traps to record plant-animal interactions.

Many of my students struggle with the distinction between Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE).

To clarify, we use an interactive #Python dashboard that fits parameters to a Gaussian distribution based on a given dataset.

This visual approach helps them see the difference: OLS minimizes the mismatch between the model and the data, while MLE maximizes the likelihood of the data given the model parameters. With this tool, the concepts become much clearer!
