Rarely do we get the whole Geospatial Data Science Group together, so we're making the most of our Development Days at UCL. Two days of collaboration, project ideation, and outreach planning. Exciting things ahead! 💥 #Geospatial #DataScience #Research #UCL
📢 New paper out now!
James Ackland & @AnahidBasiri investigate missing data in Scotland’s 2022 Census and local elections, uncovering patterns that could help improve both census participation and electoral turnout.

Last week, #AGILE2026 played host to the "Uncertain Geodata" workshop, organised by James Ackland. Geospatial researchers gathered to discuss the importance of fundamental properties of spatial data, such as bias and missingness. 🌐
Thanks to all attendees and speakers! 🎉
The Geospatial Data Science Group has two PhD positions open!
🌐 The Dynamics of Cities on FindAPhD.com
🌐 How AI Learns a City: Open Representation across open data sources on FindAPhD.com
Deadline is 15 July.
We're thrilled to announce our ✨Summer 2026 Newsletter✨ is officially live!

We asked ARC residents and users if they'd like to take part in a photography project to help us capture life in the ARC. We gave participants a single use film camera for a day, with the task to take photos of whatever they liked in the building.
Here are the results...
