I've joined @cnrs as a GIS Engineer at CEREGE (Environmental geosciences research and teaching centre) in Aix-en-Provence, France where I'll be working on remote sensing, but with a focus on very high-resolution acquisition (by photogrammetry and LiDAR) So back in the field !
Very interested too in #OpenData, #OpenStreetMap and #PublicHealth Research since a previous job at @ird_fr
Love hiking, trekking and doing via ferrata 🧗
New episode of the transportation series 📣 🚇 🚌 🚆 🚲
To accelerate the decarbonisation of our journeys and facilitate modal shift, the French government operates a National Access Point (@transportdatafr) that centralises all transport data and makes it available to a rich and diverse ecosystem of re‑users, including major route planners.
Discover, with Maxime Siret, its manager, the story and operation of the PAN, as well as the environment in which it evolves.
Nouvel épisode de la série des transports 📣 🚇 🚌 🚆 🚲
Afin d'accélérer la décarbonation de nos déplacements et faciliter le report modal, l'Etat français dispose d'un point d'accès national (@transportdatafr) qui centralise toutes les données de transport et les mets à disposition d'un écosystème riche et diversifié de réutilisateurs, dont les grands calculateurs d’itinéraires.
Découvrez avec Maxime Siret, son responsable, l'histoire et le fonctionnement du PAN, ainsi que l'environnement dans lequel il évolue.

Acabo de actualizar mi dataset sobre contaminación lumínica nocturna global generado con mi herramienta radiance-geojson (https://codeberg.org/imigueldiaz/radiance-geojson). Contiene archivos JSON (.json.gz) y un dump completo en PostGIS (restaurada ocupa 27GB, con casi 140 millones de puntos georreferenciados), con datos de radiancia, brillo del cielo y clasificación Bortle para 173 países a 0.5 km de resolución. Basado en imágenes VIIRS de Earth Observation Group, Colorado School of Mines.
Puedes descargarlo gratis desde: https://archive.org/details/radiance-geojson-data-2025
Ideal para análisis geoespaciales, ambientales y astronómicos, en mi caso lo usaré para astrofotografía si me da la vida. Licencia CC BY 4.0.

I recently discovered a set of geocoder RESTful APIs by the City of Toronto.
They are free, no authentication needed, but also not documented anywhere.
Until now!
