Mapping urban diversity in New York City based on commuter data: Tracts with tall buildings display highest commuter diversity

Quantifying and mapping urban diversity is a newly emerging field of research. In this present thesis, I build on past and ongoing research. I expand diversity mapping to the mapping of commuter diversity. In particular, I map commuter diversity in New York City as a case study, and I demonstrate that areas with tall buildings are the most...

A way to store, query, update an InSAR spatiotemporal dataset

In SAR interferometry, the data acquired by satellite are large. The points in the dataset are usually expressed in spatial-temporal dimension in which many epochs may be included. Extra information including contextual values and data from other sources sometimes are important to be taken into account when analyzing the deformation based on the...
