APPLY NOW: Postdoctoral Fellowship Available Population Health Training Program JOIN OUR INNOVATIVE PROGRAM! Fellows in this Population Health Science Training Program work closely with academic mentors in social and health science fields to build skills in interdisciplinary population health research to prepare them for academic careers focused on addressing pressing public health problems. We seek exceptional candidates in either social science or health science fields who have earned a PhD to join our diverse and accomplished cohort of trainees, and we particularly welcome candidates from backgrounds underrepresented in research.
The Minnesota Population Center at the University of Minnesota (@minnpop.bsky.social) is hiring a postdoc in Population Health. Happy to chat about the MPC, UMN, and the Twin Cities, which are all awesome in my humble opinion!

So we separated out tracts with increased in homeownership since the 1940s and found that tracts with increased homeownership had more greening.
i.e., greening gains are concentrated in gentrifying or otherwise advantaged neighborhoods & not the neighborhoods that may need the investment most 🧵4/5
Screenshot of figure 2 from article.
BUT the majority of Chicago's census tracts were redlined, so this might be because only 7% of census tracts were graded A or B. Also, we know that not all of C and D graded tracts are in neighborhoods that continued to experience disinvestment. 🧵3/5
Screenshot of Figure 1 from the article.
We look at Chicago from 2010-2020 (a time period that aligns with a city-level increase in green investment) and find that formerly redlined census tracts do green more than their non-redlined counterparts. 🧵2/5

Can't say my NY resolution is to spend more time on social media, but I did want to pop over and share my latest article!

We know that redlined communities are less green, but is it getting better or worse? 🧵1/5

I’ve been on a BlueSky hiatus but better late than never to share our new-ish article on the green gentrification cycle!
Happy vernal equinox! Every year I am amazed again at nature's rebirth, the ability of plants to push through the depths of soil to grow again 🌱
In addition to someone who can teach in-person, we're looking for candidates with experience teaching in a diverse learning environment. The intro #GIS course is part of the core curriculum on math and computing:

ESRI is updating their basemaps automatically to incorporate The Gulf of America starting tomorrow 2/20.
Unrelatedly, here's a workflow that you can use to manually edit your vector basemap labels: www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/...
If you, like me, are looking for an edifying distraction from the news, I recommend taking a scroll through the Geo Women+ starter pack: go.bsky.app/Ay1iTTe
I just learned about it (thanks @morganahcrowley.bsky.social!) and had a lovely scroll this morning to add more women to my feed 💙
I would love to be added too! So many good people to follow on the list ☺️
Wealth in the U.S. is increasing concentrated in the hands of the few. My work with @dyligent.bsky.social & @joelsuss.bsky.social shows *where* the wealth is, which cities are the most unequal and how trends have evolved. My new piece for @theconversation.com brings you up to speed. bit.ly/40gqvoZ

In our recently published paper in Nature cities, we demonstrate enhancements in #urban #heatstress due to browning (i.e. #vegetation loss) in the recent past (2003-2020) for #cities in the #GlobalSouth based on data-driven estimates of heat stress indices for over 2300 urban areas. [1/n]

It's my #NewYearsResolution to delete my X account and fully switch to Bluesky. Yesterday I followed a bunch of people who I've been following on X, but let me know if there's anyone I missed (especially if I missed you!)...t-minus 7 days until deactivation 🚀

Very impressive finds! And nostalgic!
Will put a Belize GEO selfie on my next conference check list!
I want everyone’s hot takes. What’s your favorite? What do you hate the most?
