New paper! My PhD student Ali Moayedi explored how geese use geomagnetic, wind, and solar cues to navigate & revealed flexible multi-sensory strategies in real conditions. With @jedalong.bsky.social, @fbenitez.bsky.social, Andrea Koelzsch and Helmut Kruckenberg. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

If you work on movement analysis, here are the people to follow; for now, it is primarily with movement ecology researchers; help me to include more people into a broader community: go.bsky.app/TGqNkGo

We thought that the best way to show the impact of spatial data science to our current students was to share real stories from alumni who are now having an impact on the private sector in the UK. #GISDay2024 @udemsar.bsky.social
