- Reposted by Henrikki TenkanenA study in Nature Communications shows that widely used global population data heavily underestimate rural populations. If not carefully considered, these errors could cause inequitable access to resources and services for rural communities around the globe. go.nature.com/4iDkyKr 🧪
- Reposted by Henrikki Tenkanen🌍 Global population maps fail rural areas Gridded population datasets systematically underestimate rural populations - by up to 84%. This could impact policies on resources, healthcare, and disaster planning. Better rural census data is urgently needed. 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s414... #SciComm 🧪
- Reposted by Henrikki Tenkanen#Cycle4Climate Espoo Forum 2nd day - with keynote from @htenkanen.bsky.social - addressed the role of data in understanding the spatial patterns of GHG emissions from urban mobility and in planning interventions to ensure impactful action.
- Reposted by Henrikki TenkanenIs the world population bigger than we thought? New research shows global population datasets massively underestimate rural populations—by 53% to 84%! This could mean too few resources for healthcare, infrastructure & disaster response in rural areas. Read more: www.aalto.fi/en/news/sign...
- 📢 Our latest article led by @josiaslr.bsky.social was just published in Nature communications! Our study reveals that the global gridded population datasets contain systematic negative bias in rural population.

- Reposted by Henrikki Tenkanen@htenkanen.bsky.social our @digigeolab.bsky.social alumni, currently at @aalto.fi is presenting his research on #LowCarbon #Mobility. Take-aways: #decarbonisation and changing #human behavior is extra challenging. Still, most everyday car trips are 5 km or shorter, and change is possible.

- Reposted by Henrikki TenkanenThe GIS Research UK (GISRUK) 2025 Call for Abstracts is live! This year's theme is **Process in Geographic Information Science,** re-thinking the link between the patterns we see and what we represent on our computer screens. See you in Bristol April 23-25! gisruk.org/gisruk-2025
- New paper out at CEUS! We investigate spatial #accessibility and #transport #equity at national level in Finland! 😊 The work was lead by the brilliant Matti Pönkänen and in great collaboration with Miloš Mladenović! 👏 Openly available at doi.org/10.1016/j.co... #GIScience
- The article uses various open source tools and also delves into the planner’s perspective on interactive online visualization tools. We developed an online tool to visualize our data and assessed its usefulness for planning purposes.💡 The online tool is openly available here: equity.gistlab.science
