Defining Concept Drift and Its Variants in Research Data Management: A Scientometric Case Study on Geographic Information Science

Transactions in GIS, Volume 29, Issue 3, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Just as the language used to express them, concepts constantly evolve, due to changing cultural norms, scientific progress, or major events that (re)shape our understanding of the world. For example, as humans increasingly contribute to disasters, e.g., by altering the landscape, the line between natural and anthropogenic disasters blurs. This

Mapping Noise Pollution Using Modelled and Crowdsourced Urban Noise Data

New Zealand Geographer, Volume 81, Issue 1, Page 37-51, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Transport‐generated noise pollution significantly burdens population health. Quantifying noise distribution and identifying areas with elevated noise levels is crucial for designing effective policy measures. We apply the CNOSSOS‐EU numerical transport noise model to Pōneke Wellington, mapping traffic‐induced noise exposure with good spatial ...
