Geospatial Data Science Glasgow

The last two days we had a fantastic new edition of #agit2025 conference at @Z_GIS1. We had a full house and two fantastic keynote speakers @DrGeoff2 and @AnahidBasiri! Thanks everyone for helping to make this reality and thanks to the scientific community f

One of our researchers has launched a survey working to identify how people interact with missing data on maps and how this influences their perception of missingness. Interested in contributing your opinion to Merve's work? Please do! lnkd.in/grcemKec

Meet @AnahidBasiri 🌟 Professor of Geospatial Data Science and Director of the Centre for Data Science & AI at the University of Glasgow. Leading our team to tackle data bias and unavailability, Ana is shaping smarter, fairer location-based services for a more inclusive society.

What do you notice in your neighbourhood — a street tree, a puddle, a bird call?🌳 #communiMap invites Glaswegians to log everyday observations and turn them into community knowledge and climate action. Co-designed by UofG's @communiGALLANT + residents. spotteron.com/communimap/info

📣 We're happy to share that the application deadline for the Festival of Data Science & AI has been extended to 22 July -- if you've been enjoying some well earned annual leave this month, you've still got time to apply! 🌞 👉 Learn more and apply now: gla.ac.uk/research/az/da…

#AGITConference was a great success! Prof. @AnahidBasiri gave an insightful talk on Missing Data and how it impacts our everyday lives. A big round of applause to her.👏👏

If you're in Manchester tomorrow for the Digital Trust and Security in the Era of Generative AI Forum, be sure to catch @AnahidBasiri in Panel 1: Generative AI and Security.👏👏

The call for applications for the Festival of Data Science and AI at University of Glasgow is now live! This 3-day interdisciplinary celebration will explore how data and AI shape our world. ✨Learn more and apply here: gla.ac.uk/research/az/da…

Shout out to Joe Shingleton and @AnahidBasiri for winning Best Full Paper at #AGILE2025 for their paper "How close is 'close'? An analysis of the spatial characteristics of perceived proximity using Large Language Models". Go, team, go! 🥳

🎉Big congrats to James Ackland for passing his viva! His research uses data-driven modelling to explore how political ideologies simplify complex issues into one-dimensional choices. We're excited to welcome his sharp, systems-level thinking to the team! 💡🧠

Last week we celebrated the launch of CARBON: Under Pressure ⬇️. Brought to UofG in collaboration with @SciGalleryBlr, supported by @GlasgowSciFest & Glasgow Changing Futures. Here until Sun 29th June. Pop in and have a look. With thanks to @kiranshaw for supporting our launch.

✨Joe Shingleton and @AnahidBasiri are finalists for Best Paper at #AGILE2025!✨ Their paper, "How close is 'close'? An analysis of the spatial characteristics of perceived proximity using Large Language Models", is up for the honour this Friday, 13 June. Best of luck to you!

Our brilliant researcher Dominick Sutton’s paper “Exploring a Diagnostic Test for Missingness at Random”, co-authored with @AnahidBasiri and Ziqi Li, is now published in Mathematics! 🎉📄 Is it open source, so please feel free to have a look lnkd.in/e-E9aTXc

Now we are at the first session of #LBS2025 on #GeoAI chaired by our own @meiliu_wu of @GeoDSGlasgow where our own Joe Shingleton presents our paper on #Spatial #DataQuality in the era of #GenerativeAI #TeamUofG Great conference so far, thanks to @tenkahen, Juha Oksanen &…

If you’re heading to LBS in Finland next week, don’t miss @AnahidBasiri's keynote and Joe Shingleton's talk on Geospatial Data Quality in the Era of Generative AI! They’ll be diving into some timely insights at the intersection of AI and spatial data—definitely worth your time.

Our team had an amazing time at #GISRUK2025 last week! 🚀 They gained fresh insights, shared their research, and made great connections. Success all around! 💪 #GeospatialData #DataScience #Networking #Innovation #GIS #Research

Yet another amazing #GISRUK2025. Massive thanks to @levijohnwolf & his colleagues organising it! Great job 👏 👏 👏 #GISRockStarts Almost 50 participants from @GeoDSGlasgow @UofGGES including MSc students, PhD, postdoc researchers, academics. Great to be @GISRUK great to see…

Our lab lead @AnahidBasiri spoke at the Scottish Parliament last month on AI and the UK-EU Trade & Cooperation Agreement. 🧠 Watch the full session here ⬇️ scottishparliament.tv/meeting/consti… #DataScience #AI #ScottishParliament #UniversityofGlasgow

The Geospatial Data Science team Away Day was a success! Our team travelled from all over the UK for two days of meetings, workshops, and presentations. #GeospatialDataScienceGroup #GeospatialDataScience #GeospatialData #DataScience #UniveristyofGlasgow #UofG
