Title: Game-theoretic vegetation dynamics modeling: from theory to applications

Abstract: The structure and composition of vegetation emerge from many interacting processes, including plant physiology and demography, competition among individuals, vegetation–soil feedbacks, and environmental conditions and disturbances. In this talk, I will summarize my work on demographic vegetation modeling and ecosystem fire modeling, and show how these ecological processes and eco-evolutionary optimization...

Introduction to Spatial Data Science with Jinyi Cai promotional image

Introduction to Spatial Data Science with Jinyi Cai

Tuesday, September 29, 2026 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Virtual
Many social science questions have a spatial dimension. Exploring spatial patterns can help researchers generate hypotheses about how geography shapes social and environmental processes in their studies. This workshop is for beginners to learn a practical workflow for exploring spatial patterns of socio-demographic and environmental data. Through a hands-on case study, participants will retrieve socio-demographic data through the U.S. Census API and integrate it with spatial datasets. They will then use interactive visualization to explore geographic patterns and apply spatial statistical methods to identify spatial clusters, where nearby areas have similar values, and spatial outliers, where locations differ from their neighbors. Participants will learn to conduct these analyses in Google Colab using Jupyter notebooks based on Python. The cloud-based environment allows them to run analyses and scale computation on large datasets without local software installation. Basic familiarity with Python is helpful but not required.
