📢 New paper: We mapped the whole "technomass" in the UK 🇬🇧 & Ireland 🇮🇪 at fine spatial (10m) and detailed thematic resolution based on #sentinel2 #sentinel1🛰️ + other GIS data --> 🇮🇪 has much more roads per🧑‍🤝‍🧑than 🇬🇧. #openaccess: www.sciencedirect.com/science/artic…...

We compiled a huge, multi-faceted, high-resolution, #OpenAccess dataset across the whole CONUS, incl. building area, height, volume, type, mass. Plus infrastructure area and mass (roads, parking, and many other). Download: Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-…

Cities are comparably resource-efficient (~90 t/ cap in the Bronx), while high material intensity is found in rural areas (up to ~40,000 t / cap). Migration reinforces this phenomenon as people leave while built structures remain.

📢Paper alert! How heavy is the USA 🇺🇸🏋️? In a nutshell: the mass of all US buildings, roads/rails, and parking spaces is ca. 130 Gt - or ~400 tonnes per person! Built structures 🏘️are 2.6 times heavier than all plant biomass 🌳! www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-… @NatureComms #ope...
