I'm afraid to say I won't be at the GA Conference this year. I shall miss out on it for the first time in many years due to the train strikes affecting the tickets I booked months ago. I'm sorry not to be there for Denise Freeman's Presidential lecture, and catching up with the whole geography community, and also a chance to congratulate Steve Brace in person for his recent appointment as Chief Executive of the GA.
A nice project shared by R T Wilson. Thanks to Alasdair Rae for the tipoff. I created a cool web app using @OrdnanceSurvey data - British Placename Mapper ( [link] ). It allows you to search for place names that match various criteria (starts with 'great', ends with 'burgh' etc) and plot them on an interactive map. #gis #geospatial — Robin Wilson (@sciremotesense) April 2, 2024 Here's a map of places with Alan in their name.

It’s a technique she’s borrowed from the young children she interviews for her research, who often ask the most arresting, meaningful questions.
