In case you missed it, Utrecht, Netherlands has begun building the largest Dutch “car-free” neighbourhood.

12K people
6K homes
1.8K social rental homes
1.5 mid-range rental & affordable owner-occupied homes
21.5K bike parking spaces
250 shared cars

Thank you to the volunteers who have responded so quickly to the latest pollution event at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. 

We collected 40 bags of insulating foam pieces from the shipping containers + we also removed 20kg of onions & other produce.

Good point. Overland flows need more consideration in flood effects
Appropriately intercepting ‘Peak Overland Hydrological Flows’ with Nature based solutions, supported within farming schemes, will play a significant role in landscape scale climate change mitigation & adaptation. Delivering wider ecological community restoration & greater climate resilience ⬇️

I wanted dinner recommendations so I scraped 13,000+ London restaurants and accidentally discovered Google Maps is running a shadow economy. Anyway here's a dashboard and a political economy thesis: open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...
How Google Maps quietly allocates survival across London’s restaurants - and how I built a dashboard to see through it
I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.

What happens to Christmas trees after January? In Lancaster, they’re being reused as natural sea defences, slowing erosion and trapping sediment.Low-tech. Low-carbon. Clever.

I've been experimenting with my own colour ramp to shade a DTM in #qgis to represent lowland terrain with a hillshade blending through.
I'm using #Qgis2threejs which is better than 3D view imo
Think the colour use is ok, but still not happy with how the hillshade comes through

Technically the threshold for "bomb cyclogenesis" of an Atlantic storm is a 21mb drop over a 24 hour period, at our latitude of 50°N.

The pressure here has dropped 24 mb in 11 hours, from 730am. And it's still going down.

I'm looking for some valued insight into #orfeotoolbox in #qgis I generally use the semi-automatic classification plugin for optical imagery and pre-process #sar using ESA snap. Is otb any better than what I'm using?

Announcing the development of the Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin version 9
I'm glad to announce that the **Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin version 9** (codename "Foundation") is under development. It will be released in **early 2026** , in time for the release of QGIS 4, which will be based on Qt 6 framework. Therefore, the Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin version 9 will be ported to run on Qt 6 versions of QGIS. In addition, there will be several new features, in particular: * new classification algorithms, in particular the introduction of foundation models (hence the plugin codename "Foundation"); * a new simplified interface, in addition to the traditional user interface, designed for new users in order to focus on the classification process; * new process that should ease the installation of the required dependency "Remotior Sensus". The development of the Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin version 9 is running in parallel with the development of the Python library "Remotior Sensus", which will be updated to version 0.6, and include several performance enhancements, in addition to the foundation models. Foundation models are a particular type of machine learning models trained on huge amounts of satellite data, which can be adapted to several classification purposes. This will be the first attempt to integrate deep learning foundation models into the Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin, in particular by using training data on features extracted by the model, thereby easing the processes required for running a pretrained model. For any comment or question, join the Facebook group or GitHub discussions about the Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin.

Absolutely shocking.

Has anyone used the WCPS #qgis plugin?
Just wondered what advantages it brings? I always find the Zonal Statistics tool works really well for vector layer sample areas I want to know more about overlaying a raster layer.
