Using structural equation modeling and mediation analyses, our new open-access paper found that greenspace has the most substantial total effect on mental health, followed by air pollution and noise pollution. @theAAG @AmericanGeo
We are excited to share our new study @meipokwan , which discusses how objective and subjective greenspace, combined with air and noise pollution, impacts mental health through the mediation of physical activity. doi.org/10.1016/j.ufug.2025.…

Ever wanted to research mobility patterns but no idea where to start looking for data? @qingqingchen77, @mattzook and I are releasing a dataset originally based on geotagged social media posts by 2 mln users across the US, containing 1.2 bln data points sent between 2012-2019.

New paper with @Dapper_Mapper, Yilei Yu, and @hk_friedrich! Our review highlights disparities in health outcomes following flood events in the US, but also provides methodological critiques to emphasize the need for precise flood exposure metrics and community engagement.

Excited to share our recent paper on high-resolution PM2.5 prediction modeling from low-cost sensor data. By comparing the model results of multiple cities, we identify space-time kriging models perform better for PM2.5 predictions than machine learning approaches.

Our new paper shows that disruptions like OSU football games and COVID both have major negative impacts on public transit accessibility and reliability. Not just the Ohio Stadium or the lockdown, but everywhere all at once. Check sciencedirect.com/science/ar… A thread 1/n
