A year to the day since I was down at OS HQ last for my PhD, and now I'm in Leeds for the @GeospatialC & @OrdnanceSurvey PSGA Conference representing @N_landCouncil #GCxPSGA23

Been a while but it's great to finally be back in Southampton for the "annual" (thanks covid) @OrdnanceSurvey Research Workshop! Looking forward to presenting my recent PhD work tomorrow on improving privacy in CV analysis and ethics in geospatial research. @GeospatialNCL

I've missed a few days of the #30DayMapChallenge, so I've decided to quickly combine a few. Here's a bad map (#Day10), emphasising why scale (#Day12) is appropriate, showing two red (#Day11) points 5 mins (#Day13) walk apart, with OpenStreetMap (#Day8) background mapping.
A bad map, zoomed out to see the full earth, with a "1 earth circumfrance" scale bar, a "[title]" placeholder and a massive north arrow. Bad spelling, layout and rending throughout too. Credits in the bottom corner to OpenStreetMap contributors.

#Day3 is #Polygons in the #30DayMapChallenge! Once again using #OpenData from @CityofYork & @OrdnanceSurvey, I've mapped how many bus stops each ward in York has. I should add, all these maps so far have been created using #QGIS, so it's open all the way from data to processing!
Choropleth map of Bus Stops Per Ward in York, ranging from 4 to 71.

Next up is #Day2 of the #30DayMapChallenge - #Lines! This time I've mapped the numbering system of the UK Road Network. Did you realise that motorways and A roads used different, albeit it similar, systems? This uses #OpenData that @transportgovuk derived from @OrdnanceSurvey!
Map of the UK Road Network Numbering system. In England and Wales the road numbers system for all-purpose (non-motorway) roads is based on a radial pattern centred on London. In Scotland the same scheme is centred on Edinburgh. Since Motorways first came to Britain over three decades after the A-road numbering system was implemented it uses its own similar, but different, system.

A little late to the party, but this weekend I thought I'd try and do a few of the #30DayMapChallenge challenges! First up is #Day1 where I've mapped Emergency #Points on the River Ouse in York, taking advantage of some of the #OpenData made available by @CityofYork.
Map of Emergency Points on the River Ouse, York. The River Ouse Safety Advisory Group (ROSAG) has developed an emergency response plan for the River Ouse within the City of York area with identifies locations on both banks, agreed by the emergency services as suitable for them to access in order to assist river users in difficulty. The different types of points allow the emergency service to know the potential for different levels of response.

Fantastic closing keynote to #GISRUK2022 from @AnahidBasiri! Provided some real food for thought about the ethics of missing data too. – at Liverpool, England

Great talk from @geo_wolfk on assessing flood impact using real-time data! Such a wide range of data providers and stakeholders involved, plus it's always nice to see usage of @urbanobserv data too. @GeospatialCDT @GeospatialNCL @OrdnanceSurvey – at Liverpool, England
