Maps, roads, and skylines don’t tell the whole story of our cities. Invisible barriers + hidden connections shape urban life in ways we rarely see. I’ll dig into this at my ACM SIGSPATIAL keynote “Cities Beyond Maps.” See you all! 🚶♂️🏙🏢

A smattering of ~1 km surface lakes on the Greenland ice sheet. Screenshot from a Sentinel-2 satellite image near Sermeq Kujalleq (Jakobshavn) glacier, June 2019. 🧪❄️💧
We're soon hosting a contest at the ACM SigSpatial conference to auto-pick these lakes out across Greenland & Antarctica.

I gave a keynote on LLMs (or not!): foundational approaches for timeseries and spatiotemporal data in SIGSPATIAL 2024, exec briefings this week in Cisco Live, and will give another keynote at AJCAI 2024 in 2wks.
I’ll be in NeurIPS next month to present 2 papers. Hope to cross path with some of you.
