I hope to recruit a PhD student to join the Alofs lab at UM-SEAS in Fall 2023. If you are interested in studying the impacts of environmental changes on freshwater fish, please read on. 1/n

Has anyone else noticed a change with the Flickr API? The photosearcher R package is strangely only returning a max of 4,000 results despite the workarounds to avoid this. I am manually trying to troubleshoot but wondering if anyone has run into this recently.
Our new #OA article Understanding Landscape Aesthetics Using a Novel Viewshed Assessment of Social Media Locations Within the Troodos UNESCO Global Geopark, Cyprus is out now in @FrontEnvSci.
We introduce a novel approach to viewshed analysis for assessing social media posts.

Future generations will have fewer and harsher choices, diminishing their capabilities to reach their full potential and leaving them poorer than they would have been. Failure to act on climate change is not ignorance but robbery, two professors write. chicagotribune.com/opinion/c…
SEAS Professors @marklindquist and @geocanuck are exploring options to equitably prepare the Great Lakes area as it anticipates an influx of climate refugees. Read in @DowntownPubs how they did so with landscape design simulator: myumi.ch/bRj3d
Does anyone know of a dataset that lists the rates of different ecosystem services provided by individual tree species in North America?
Looking for a simple table showing services like carbon sequestration and air pollution as columns. Or if anyone knows anything similar!
The first paper from my post-doc @UMSEAS is out now, with @marklindquist @geocanuck
Something a bit different from me this time! In our #OpenAccess paper, we review the role of gamification in promoting inclusive and engaged urban resilience planning.

Some of my amazing colleges also presenting during this session:
@marklindquist will be discussing digital approaches for decision support systems
@geocanuck will be exploring social media and landscapes
@chai_allah will present his novel method of assessing social media trails
🚨JOB OPENINGS🚨I am recruiting 4 post-doctoral fellows in areas of macro- to micro-scale energy systems in areas of climate adaptation and/or mitigation! Start dates June 1-ish. See here for details: assetlab.org/open-positions .
Are you doing research on "Novel digital approaches for the study of landscapes"? apply to the upcoming @iale_na symposium on gamification, immersive technologies and big data. @marklindquist@n_foxialena.org/symposia.html
