It is a common belief that higher elevations are naturally cooler. In pristine landscapes, this rule holds firm. But what about urban environments? Humanity moves vast amounts of matter and energy, sometimes fundamentally altering the thermodynamic parameters of our habitat.
🛰️ I correlated summer Land Surface Temperature (LST) data across Calgary’s neighborhoods with the Canadian Medium-Resolution Digital Elevation Model (MRDEM). The chart below illustrates the relationship between "Average Elevation" and "Average Surface Temperature" specifically for established residential communities. As observed, this relationship is notably weak, even though a slight cooling trend persists. Based on my data analysis, elevation above sea level is not a key factor in cooling the city.

To distinguish between "normal" and anomalous surface temperatures in Calgary in 2025, I applied Tukey’s method. The statistical distribution shows a negative skewness (coefficient ≈−0.59).
This highlights a critical phenomenon: the vast majority of the urban area is densely clustered in the warmer temperature range. In contrast, cool refuges (the rivers, reservoir, and dense parks) are statistically scarce, forming a long "tail" on the left side of the plot. In essence, Calgary’s baseline is shifted toward higher temperatures, making Urban Cool Islands a rare and vital resource.
I would like to remind my readers and followers that I am currently preparing a comprehensive article based on these research results. In it, I will explore the ecological and geochemical implications of this thermal distribution. Stay tuned for further updates!

berlin schafft offene daten ab!?
cdu&spd wollen die regeln zu #opendata mit einer sehr großen ausnahme versehen (1). behörden ohne lust auf #opendata könnten in kürze z.b. mit der ausnahme zum #katastrophenschutz winken.
cdu&spd haben es eilig. am 9.3. soll der digital-ausschuss #didat den weg frei machen (2). am 12.3. könnte die regierungsmehrheit im #agh das gesetz endgültig beschließen.

【國際活動轉發】WiNoDa Knowledge Lab 主辦 《從抽屜到開放網路：自然史博物館典藏與 Wikidata 》網路研討會
你是否正在尋找更聰明的方法，讓你的典藏或生物多樣性資料變得更可見、更具連結性，並真正能被重複利用？
在這場網路研討會中，你將學到如何以 Wikidata 與維基媒體生態系將分散的資料集轉化為開放、可互通的知識網路。
活動中將探索自然科學典藏、研究探勘、標本、人物、地點與媒體如何被編輯成一套共享、符合 #FAIR 原則的知識基礎建設。
透過實際案例，你會了解如何在 Wikidata 中建模典藏物件與探勘資料、如何將它們連結到全球資源，並利用 Wikimedia Commons 的開放授權媒體使其更加豐富。
無論你在博物館、生物多樣性研究、資料管理，或是數位人文領域工作，這場研討會將以實際的「維基媒體解決方案」來展示如何透過這些開放平台，將館藏轉為全球實際可用的資料。

在 Mapping Africa: Visualizing Knowledge and Communities 線上分享中，Wiki In Africa 邀請來賓們分享他們在各種地圖專案中的實務經驗，這些專案把地理空間資料、 #OpenStreetMap 與 #Wikidata、 #Wikipedia、 Wikimedia Commons 等維基媒體計畫串聯起來。
透過社群分享可以看到非洲各地的社群如何運用地圖來記錄在地知識、回應永續與氣候挑戰，並增加非洲的知識在全球視野中的影響力。
目前線上分享的影片已經上線，歡迎到 Youtube 上觀看：https://www.youtube.com/live/czndc9Ekzb8
目前 Wikidata Taiwan 與 OpenStreetMap台灣 不定期都會舉辦街景踏察團，透過實地踏查與街景拍攝，再搭配工作坊來改善臺灣開源地圖資訊、開放授權圖片以及結構化資訊等開放資料基礎建設。
