What if we had a 'Spotify for nature'? 🏞️ A system that could recommend high-quality outdoor experiences tailored to our preferences, while also providing precious data for sustainable environmental management?

How can we accurately map where people live and work when they frequently cross national borders? Traditional surveys miss complexity, mobile network operators data are hard to get across borders, and individual social-media traces are sparse—yet social media is inherently transnational.

As part of #Ukrainability project together with @htenkanen.bsky.social, @ollejarv.bsky.social, and Tiina Rinne we study how people use cultural ecosystem services in Ukraine and how they perceive the quality of these experiences during the full-scale Russian invasion.
