Using Heidelberg as a case study, researchers modeled time-dependent solar exposure for the entire pedestrian network by combining high-resolution DEM/DSM building and vegetation data with OpenStreetMap road data. Adapting to heat stress in cities is a major challenge under global warming, as both climate change and the urban heat island effect increase health risks worldwide. […]| GIScience Blog

A personal history of OpenStreetMap, seen through the eyes of Stamen Design by Alan McConchie and the Stamen Design team Recap Back in 2021, we wrote a two-part blog post about the history of Stamen Design and OpenStreetMap (“OSM” for short), and the twists and turns of Stamen’s close relationship with the OSM project over...| Stamen
On January 24, 2010, Zeke Farwell completed the Long Trail. He had begun just two days earlier, connecting more than 50 segments of trail spanning over 200 miles. Motivated by “the longest and most well known hiking trail in Vermont”, Zeke often revisited portions of the trails in the years to come. Now I’m not revealing a secret FKT, but rather the completion of the Long Trail route on OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap is like Wikipedia …| Satoshi Village
A new version of ohsome-planet (codename “Sjælland”) has been released. It is the newest version of HeiGIT´s command line tool, which transforms OpenStreetMap (history) PBF files into into an analysis-ready data format. We illustrate what ohsome-planet can do by assessing how many OSM edits used Bing Imagery as reference source.| GIScience Blog

This project explores how OpenStreetMap data can complement satellite imagery for tracking land cover changes in Germany. Using a small test area, we compare datasets over time to better understand how real-world changes are reflected in OSM—and how this knowledge can support automated monitoring.| HeiGIT

An article from last year’s Perl Advent Calendar gave me an idea. As is often the case, that idea spawned other ideas. One of those new ideas raised the question: “How do I get all tram lines and tram stops in Hannover, Germany from OpenStreetMap?”. Here’s my answer to that question, implemented–because reasons–in Python.| P.T.C.
