GLAD brings together over 740 million individual records across 107 countries, covering the period 1960–2021. It opens up new possibilities to study the composition and transformation of families and living arrangements worldwide—from an individual perspective and on a scale never seen before.

As a demographer, I really appreciate this attempt to associate vital statistics with a border instead of a state.

Not an easy task, but really important, especially insofar as borders offer so many opportunities for states to obfuscate their responsibility.

On Tuesday, I'm heading to Brisbane, Australia, for the International Population Conference.

Located at latitude 27°28'08.29" South and longitude 153°01'24.60" East, it's likely the easternmost point I’ll ever visit in this world.

Today in my Digital Cartography course here in Madrid we combine @openstreetmap.bsky.social data, map tiles from @stadiamaps.com and isochrones to compute walking distances.

What do you think about this type of visualization?

Next week, I’m teaching my Digital Cartography with R course at @cchscsic.bsky.social with @lippertam.bsky.social!

To kick things off, here’s a bivariate map showing the percentage of foreign-born pop & ethnic diversity by census tracts—beautifully clipped over Madrid’s buildings.

Como me gustan las islas canarias! Aunque son un incordio para mapearlas junto a España peninsular. Pero bien visto!!

Juan Galeano @juangaleano.bsky.social · May 22

Pero como el ejercicio tiene como finalidad manipular distintas capas cartográficas en R, e introducir a un grupo de estudiantes extranjeros con las divisiones administrativas de España, me pa' que se queda como está.

Llevas razón 👏🏽 y podría haber usando las cuencas a las que pertenecen los ríos para asignar los colores.
