Attention #RSpatial community: NAD83 → NSRS and ETRS89 updates are hitting PROJ/GDAL/etc., potentially affecting sf, terra, gdalraster, vapour.
Roger Bivand is seeking feedback on his talk proposal.

Figure 2. Illustration of line densification when approximating a curve with a finite number of points. Panel (a) depicts the ground truth, showing the precise geometry of two curves, C1 and C2. Panel (b) illustrates finite approximations, A1 and A2, that use a sparse distribution of points along the respective curves. Topology is violated as A1 intersects itself and also A2. Panel (c) demonstrates line densification resulting in A0 1 and A0 2 preserving the true topology
New article! Fantastic work from Nihal Z. Miaji and colleagues on the cartogram creation process, and how we ensure topology is preserved and cartogram regions remain connected and not overlapping doi.org/10.1080/1523... #GISchat #OpenAccess

Figure 7. Snapshot of the Web GIS dashboard (sewer networks are hidden due to confidentiality considerations. Screenshot of a Web GIS dashboard showing sampling results over a campus map. The central panel displays a map with colored building footprints and sampling locations marked with colored dots indicating results (negative, positive, suspicious, or other). A legend on the left explains the symbols for samplers and buildings. A sidebar allows neighborhood selection and zooming. On the right, panels show selectable basemaps, a summary indicator reporting **25 positive individual sites** in the current map extent, and a pie chart showing the composition of testing results (not collected, negative, positive, suspicious). The bottom section contains a bar chart showing the number of positive samplers over time and a line chart showing the time-series testing results for a selected sampler.

Figure 1: User attributes and navigation behavior. The diagram shows a central pedestrian figure with four attribute categories branching outward: 1) Gender - showing female (illustrated with person receiving directions 'Turn left before the red building') and male (illustrated with person at directional signpost receiving instruction 'Go west for 300 meters'); 2) Expertise - divided into Geography (showing topographic contour map with task 'Find the highest point in the terrain') and Non-geography (showing street map with task 'Find the hospital on Queen street'); 3) Spatial ability - showing high spatial ability (person solving maze saying 'Easy!') and low spatial ability (confused people asking 'Where is...?'); 4) Familiarity - showing familiar environment (person in park saying 'I have been there!') and unfamiliar environment (person consulting map with 'Map told me!'). Below these attributes are five navigation task types illustrated with icons: Self-localization (map with location pin asking 'Where am I?'), Object search (red house with 'Find the house with red roof'), Map target search (map showing 'Find the picnic point on the map'), Route memorization (map with dotted route to Bill's Wood), and Walking to the end (person walking in urban environment).
New article! Hua Liao and colleagues evaluate how much we can deduce from users visual behaviour in pedestrian navigation: quite a bit it seems, inc. gender, geographical expertise, spatial ability & familiarity of the environment #GISchat doi.org/10.1080/1523...

Table 2: Mapping between tasks and candidate gestures. The table has two columns labeled 'Function' and 'Gesture 1'. Five rows show: 1) Pan - Open hand swipe gesture with illustration of flat hand moving horizontally; 2) Zoom In - Index finger and thumb moving from pinch to open position with spreading motion; 3) Zoom Out - Index finger and thumb moving from open to pinch position with closing motion; 4) Point Placement - Pinch fingers then open gesture, shown with two hand positions; 5) Switch Mode - Sweep open palm left and right, illustrated with palm moving in both directions. Each gesture is accompanied by simple black line drawings demonstrating the hand movements.

Hah, this actually looks like a novel idea for topological fixes on GIS polygons.
