Unraveling Near Real-Time Spatial Dynamics of Population Using Geographical Ensemble Learning
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 130, 103882
Read publication ↗Research question
How can population distribution be mapped at fine spatial and hourly temporal resolution?
Geographic scope
China · national hourly mapping
Evidence base
Multi-source geospatial data and geographical ensemble learning
Approach
The framework combines physical and social geographic variables with automated and geographically weighted ensemble learning to address spatial non-stationarity.
Why it matters
Near real-time population surfaces can support exposure assessment, transport planning and emergency response more directly than static census maps.
