Publication of the book "Digital Ethology : Human Behavior in Geospatial Context"

The book "Digital Ethology: Human Behavior in Geospatial Context," co-authored by Maria Melchior, has been published

An edited collection that looks deeply at how humans transform their environments and how these environments, in turn, shape humans

Countless permutations of physical, built, and social environments surround us in space and time, influencing the air we breathe, how hot or cold we are, how many steps we take, and with whom we interact as we go about our daily lives. Assessing the dynamic processes that play out between humans and the environment is challenging. Digital Ethology, edited by Tomáš Paus and Hye-Chung Kum, explores how aggregate area-level data, produced at multiple locations and points in time, can reveal bidirectional—and iterative—relationships between human behavior and the environment through their digital footprints.
