A new journal article about Methodological aspects of the spatial analysis of geosocial media feeds: from locations towards places has just been published in gis.science Vol 2 2019. It covers some main aspects and findings of the PhD Thesis of our team member Rene Westerholt (now at Warwick UK) and relates those to the analysis of place in GIScience. The thesis was done in Heidelberg within the graduate school “CrowdAnalyser – Spatio-temporal Analysis of User-generated Content” and was awarded the first price for PhD thesis of the Förderpreis Geoinformatik 2019 des Runder Tisch GIS e. V. München. The following papers are part of the PhD thesis:
