Drive-Thru USA - the Spatial Analysis of Car-Centric Sprawl - LivestreamDrive-thru businesses, in which customers place and retrieve orders without ever leaving their cars, discourage social interaction and physical exercise, and degrade a street’s walkability and air quality. Despite these negative attributes, their proliferation across the United States has never been quantified or spatially analyzed. This study pursues this topic ...
Extreme urban heat, driven by climate change and rapid urbanization, poses a growing threat to public health, energy systems, and economic productivity. Yet effective urban heat mitigation is hindered by two key gaps: limited mechanistic understanding of urban heat environment across global cities, and a lack of robust tools to ...
The crustal magnetic anomalies near the lunar crater Gerasimovich are among the highest-magnitude anomalies on the Moon. Previous work has suggested they formed from the deposition and magnetization of ejecta from the Crisium basin, which is antipodal to the region. In this talk, I will describe the correlation between topographic ...
Feminist interventions have instrumentally shaped critical perspectives in mapping. Yet, feminist mapping has often been erased or considered niche within both GIScience and critical GIS conversations. Drawing on recent work in data feminism, design justice, and feminist digital geographies (among others), I engage with a feminist mapping framework to reveal ...
