Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 26, Issue 2, May 2025.ABSTRACT Recreational trails, including informal trails created by visitors, have a range of ecological impacts, but mapping and assessing these impacts can be expensive and time‐consuming. It is increasingly possible to harness publicly available data posted by park visitors to fitness platforms and combine it with other spatial and field data to help

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 ...
