Wrapping up our four part mini-series on Wildland fire and forestry with Dr. David Godwin, PhD.  I want to thank our sponsor of the mini-series, Limmer Boot Company.  Limmer believes in the power of growing communities and relationships in the outdoors, and they know that the moments of introspection and self-reliance learned there, can transform any individual. So if you're looking for your last pair of hiking boots, check out Limmerboots.com to learn more.Like many, David was so impacted by his time on staff as a Ranger, that upon returning home to college, he changed his major to focus on natural resources.  Today David is the Director of the Southern Fire Exchange program with the University of Florida School of Forest, Fisheries, and Geomatics. The Southern Fire Exchange is part of the larger Fire Science Exchange Network which exists to accelerate awareness, understanding, adoption, and implementation of readily available wildland fire science information.In 2014, David was thrilled to return as a Visiting Forester, where he shared his passion for and told the story of fire. He also utilized the site specific location, overlooking Cito Reservoir, to discuss the impacts of fire on natural resources such as water - as they say in the West: "Whiskeys for drinking, but waters for fighting over."  David also shares his experience at Black Lake, NM - where in 2013 he assisted in a prescribed fire training exchange, also known as TREX.   Lastly, David shares some great stories from his time on staff.  David remains active in Scouting, and ironically, he learned of the Zastrow Cabin being lost to the Cooks Peak fire while enrolled in a Woodbadge course in his home state of Florida. I want to thank everyone who contributed to this feature series, and especially to those working around the clock to protect lives and structures during the Hermit's Peak / Calf Canyon and Cooks Peak fires.

Færre og færre danskere er medlemmer af et politisk parti. Derfor må partierne ty til nye metoder for at forstå, hvad der rører sig og optager vælgerne. Her kommer data ind i billedet. Med data kan man tilrettelægge sine politiske kampagner så de giver mest muligt genklang i blandt vælgerne. Men vært Lawand Hiwa Namo er bekymret for individualisering. Han har selv arbejdet med data og politik og på oplevet hvordan politiske visioner nogen gange viger pladsen for det, som data viser, at vil give mange stemmer.Men er det rigtigt, at data spiller så virkelig stor en rolle i dansk politik, som Lawand oplever? Eller er der i virkeligheden også demokratisk potentiale at hente data? Det spørger Lawand Hiwa Namo Sune Steffen Hansen om. Sune er partner i Rud Pedersen og vært på podcasten Pollster sammen med Jesper Claus Larsen, hvor de diskuterer politik og data. I studiet kommer også Martin Kaae Glarvig, der er CEO i Geomatic, der sælger sammenkørte dataregistre om os alle sammen til virksomheder - og politiske partier.

The Food Secure Future Podcast brings together researchers and experts from the field to discuss how to feed the future in a way that is healthy, sustainable, and nutritious. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a changing climate will threaten the stability of food supply, increase food prices, and lower the nutritional value of certain foods. Our current food system is a major contributor to climate change, and is unsustainable unless changes can be made. New technologies have the ability to reduce our effect on our environment, but they can be costly and not accessible to everyone, leading to further inequalities in our food system. In this episode, we face the challenging question of how we can tackle the work of upgrading our food system, not only to feed a growing population, but to do so in ways that are equitable and socially sustainable.HostsDr. Evan Fraser, Director, Arrell Food Institute at the University of GuelphChelsea Major, MSc Geography, Environment & Geomatics, University of GuelphGuestsDr. Sarah Rotz, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change, York UniversityVisit our website, feeding9billion.com, for more food security educational resources and lesson plans.Buy Uncertain Harvest here!

We are joined by Dr. Clara Mundia, a geospatial analyst and currently the Location Analytics (LOCAN) Department Head at Dalberg Research, who enlightens us on what it means to be a professional in this field, and why we as Africans should be paying more attention to it. 

The Food Secure Future Podcast brings together researchers and experts from the field to discuss how to feed the future in a way that is healthy, sustainable, and nutritious. The COVID-19 pandemic caused some major disruptions to the global food system, including restricting travel of seasonal labourers and transportation of food over long distances. Resultingly, alternative food systems like community gardens, farmers' markets, and traditional Indigenous methods of food production, have grown in popularity. But why did we move toward globalization in the first place? Can both of these strategies be used together to create a more resilient food system? Hosts:Dr. Evan Fraser, Director, Arrell Food Institute at the University of GuelphAlex Glaros, PhD candidate, Dept. of Geography, Environment & Geomatics, University of GuelphGuests:Lisa Conroy, Community Garden Coordinator, Two Rivers Neighbourhood GroupDr. Pierre Desrochers, Associate Professor, Dept. of Geography, Geomatics & Environment, University of Toronto MississaugaVisit our website, feeding9billion.com, for more food security educational resources and lesson plans.

The Food Secure Future Podcast brings together researchers and experts from the field to discuss how to feed the future in a way that is healthy, sustainable, and nutritious. Vertical farming allows us to grow tightly packed crops in an artificial environment, giving us year round access to produce that we may not normally be able to grow at all. The technology has the potential to slow climate change by freeing up traditional cropland and reducing the need for long distance transportation of food. However, vertical farming and its products are costly, which could lead to issues of accessibility in communities that stand to benefit the most. This polarizing technology highlights the differences between food independence and food sovereignty in working toward the goal of worldwide food security.Hosts: Dr. Evan Fraser, Director, Arrell Food Institute at the University of GuelphChantel Kozachenko, M.A., Dept. of Geography, Environment & Geomatics, University of Guelph Guests:Dr. Dickson Despommier, Professor Emeritus, Environmental Health Sciences, Columbia University (verticalfarm.com)Jackie Milne, Founder & President, Northern Farm Training InstituteVisit our website, feeding9billion.com, for more food security educational resources and lesson plans.

The Food Secure Future Podcast brings together researchers and experts from the field to discuss how to feed the future in a way that is healthy, sustainable, and nutritious. Modern consumers are rebuilding their connection with food, which can prove difficult when an often lengthy supply chain separates them from the farms that produced it. How can farmers and consumers foster an open conversation around food, so that we can all play our part in consuming and producing responsibly?Hosts: Dr. Evan Fraser, Director, Arrell Food Institute at the University of GuelphAbdul-Rahim Abdulai, PhD candidate, Department of Geography, Environment & Geomatics, University of GuelphGuests:Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, Director, Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie UniversityCrystal Mackay, CEO, Loft 32Visit our website, feeding9billion.com, for more food security educational resources and lesson plans.

Most of us know what the past year as been like as a supermarket shopper, from relearning how to navigate the aisles to seeing what services retailers are pivoting to. But few understand what it’s like for grocery store workers — the people who went to work every day, wiped down the carts and baskets, restocked the shelves and ensured that customers were able to make the most of their essential outings. Researcher Emily Duncan, interviewed 30 grocery store workers in the Guelph area about work since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal, she says, is to make recommendations to governments on how to improve conditions and to inform the public what it is like to toil on the front lines.

On this week’s episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Lt Ronald Vaughn of Dallas Fire Rescue. When his dreams of becoming a police officer turned into becoming a Fire Fighter & Paramedic instead, Lt Vaughn never dreamed of the day when he would be voluntold into the world of GIS. After almost 20 years in the field, Lt Vaugh was given the assignment to find out what this “GIS” thing was for the department, and he hasn’t looked back.

There has been a bit of a snowball effect following Prime Minister Trudeau’s comments about COVID-19 being a chance for a reset and “accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to re-imagine economic systems that address global challenges like extreme poverty, inequality and climate change.” Now there is talk of a so called “great reset” and all manner of concerns around it.  Guest: Rachel Gilmore, Global News National Online Journalist - In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, more than 3.9 billion people worldwide have been atold to stay at home. But that does not really work for a third of the world’s urban dwellers.  Guest: Carolyn Whitzman, Adjunct Professor, Department of Geography, Environments, Geomatics, at the University of Ottawa  - University Hospital outbreak in London and Vaccine hesitancy.  Guest: Ahmad Firas Khalid, medical doctor and health policy expert.

Welcome to this meeting of Geoholics Anonymous! This is another “round-table” format discussion touching on the current issues affecting the geomatics world. This panel is made up of Kent Groh, PLS (Host of The Geoholics), Ryan Kelly, CP (Co-host of The Geoholics), Jose Pedraza, PLS - Survey Director at Stuart Consulting Group, Chris Glantz, PLS - Deputy State Surveyor ODOT, and Gabby Getz - Software Developer at Cesium and winner of the 2019 Younger Geospatial Professional (YGP) of the Year Award presented in cooperation with LiDAR News and Leica Geosystems. The topic of this GA meeting is getting to know and understand the perspective of "younger" geomatics professionals. These folks are in the prime of their careers and have plenty to say about the past, present and future of geomatics. RIP Eddie Van Halen. 

Interview with Martin Tomko, Slovak scientist from Melbourne University in Australia, who is from March locked down at home and doing research behind the laptop. We talk about Spatial information, Infrastructure engineering, Geomatics, oh not really seriously, just for fun, but also about pandemic and his first touch with journalism. - Rozhovor s Martinom Tomkom, vedcom z Melbournskej univerzity, ktorý sa zaoberá výskumom zemepisných informačných systémov, napríklad aj samovývojových máp, ktoré sú inšpirované ľudskou odolnosťou. Ktovie, ako funguje a vyvíja sa také inžinierstvo infraštruktúry, alebo kognitívne inžinierstvo priestoru, a tak najlepším človekom na laické vysvetlenie je Tomko. Martin aj prednáša, píše, skúma, cestuje, ale žiaľ, v čase Covidu od marca len z domu, takže sme si ho zavolali k telefónu.

Host Jeff Lucas speaks with his guest Dr. Jerry Nave, Assistant Professor of Geomatics at North Carolina A&T State University where he teaches classes in Boundary Location Principles, GNSS, Geodesy, Subdivision Design, UAV Safety and Use, Professionalism & Ethics, and Senior Design Courses. In addition to his licensure in Surveying, he is also an FAA certified UAS pilot.

Kirby Calvert is an Associate Professor with the Geography, Environment and Geomatics at the University of Guelph. As a social scientist, he brings an important perspective to the practice of community energy planning. Very early in his academic career, he saw the importance of engaging people in the energy transition and it has had a big influence on his approach to research. “I think that there is a deep need to maintain focus on people throughout this transition and not to get too hung up on all the technologies but to think about people. I think if we start there, we have something to work with, but there is no question that we need this transition to happen. We just need to make this transition brings people along with it.”More about KirbyMusic Credit: Andrew McPherson, Forest for the Trees

On this week’s episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Michelle Swindle from the city of Fort Worth Texas. We chat about Michelle’s non-traditional path to GIS, and what it was like to go back to school after she thought she was finished with higher education. We also get to hear about what it’s like to be a civilian GIS contractor in an active war zone, and how that environment comes with a whole host of unique challenges.

On today’s episode I conclude my interview with Tom Fisher. We get into the wide range of activities Tom is involved with in Ohio from his work at the county to the non profits he helps to support. We also discuss how the current Covid-19 crisis is affecting everyone, and how his county is responding and going about providing as much information as it can to it’s citizens.

We chat about Keri’s journey from being a non-GIS student in natural resources and how she was able to break into the industry through academic research. We also talk about how evolving GIS technology has changed what she does on a day to day basis, and what to focus on when first entering the industry.

Keith: Good morning UCLS students. My name is Professor Keith. You shall refer to me direct, in passing or behind my back as… Professor Keith. Now, this is Science 101. Or in other words how to make your shadow as small as possible in this classroom. Now, I've named this semester "Low Expectations" - I don't know if that reflects anything on your behalf lest you realise that at this moment you are fully ready and equipped to fail the year end exam. Ace: Who’s the Doogie Howser? Keith: My job is to make sure that that is a figment of my enormous imagination and not your wispy deluded future hopes and wishes. If now, however, you aren’t quite ready yet, I could throw you back into the pond and wait for you to grow bigger but alas that’s not feasible, so, it is not in your interests to go get an F although would put a big fat smile on my cold dead face. I hope that what happens on this course will startle you into awake-ness maybe even interest dare I think it. At this point as you are staring at me with mucus lined nostrils and vacant expressions, you might be asking yourself; “This guy’s a genius, why don’t I hate his guts?’ Well, it’s like the bacteria slowly filling up your cerebellum in the form of your poor taste in clothing; hatred will veil itself around you gradually, week by week. Yes, I see you’re so tuned in now. Mmm. Biology. It's probably something you don't care about in the least. But I thought, what the hell, I'd teach it here for about half my life, ande since I'm standing here with the chalk and you’re not allowed to escape. … What is this? (Takes out a thermometer) Oona: That’s a thermometer. Keith: Congratulations Blondy. Slight synaptic activity from the back there… that’s a thermometer-WHAT? Oona: That’s a thermometer, Professor Keith. Keith: Saved from the lapdancing life by a sudden flood of brain fluid. Hmm, can anyone now tell me why thermometers are so small? Ace: Because mercury is so expensive? Keith: Yessss. Now let's think of a GOOD answer! Ace to Floyd: Jesus, it’s Queen Preenus up on stage. Floyd: You’re just not on Planet science… and what’s a fuck is Queen Preen… Magda: Is it something about size and volume? Keith: A question you no doubt ask yourself hard on a Friday night. Switch on the learning channel people; bulb thermometers rely on the simple principle that a liquid changes its volume relative to its temperature. Kudos to the brunette at the back there… Liquids take up less space when they are cold and more space when they are warm. All bulb thermometers use a fairly large bulb and a narrow tube to accentuate the change in volume, thus the smaller the thermometer; the more accurate the reading of the temperature in a pressured state. Now, unlike the arts courses that you will be no doubt flinging yourselves at with moronic abandon, only to receive circumspect, incidental information, science is fact and like the aforementioned fact I will give you an explanation instead of vague poetic analogies. (Door Knocks)         Keith: Proceed to interrupt the classroom. Tash: Good morning Professor Keith, eh class… mmnnn, I… Keith: Ah, the poet himself, come to cast magic verse of script and sell his wares of the ‘Arts Department’. Tash: Yes, well, no, well you wouldn’t believe me, but that doesn’t matter, that I am here to see you regarding the staff meeting, slight change of interpretation of time and space in the hour and place. Keith: And you all get this free for your grant money. Tash: Provost Broadleaf has had to rearrange it from 11am to 4pm. Keith: Ah, the overlord… and in that, a whole new area of science unknown to logic awaits us… Tash: Quite… Mmmnnn, 4pm, I’ll see you there. And if I may take the floor for a moment… Keith: Inmates! This is my very short-lived guest… Professor Norman Tash, Head of all ‘Arts’, everywhere… Tash: Those of you signed-up for Geomatics, it now begins at 11am and not 4pm. Same room as on your induction sheets. Thank you. Thanks Keith. Keith: No pleasure was lost Norman. (Door closes behind him) Keith: Yes. He brings a lot of joy when he leaves the room. Now, after the warm up act, it’s the main show; of course I would have had a nubile assistant in a sheepskin leotard, a disco ball and some Casio keyboard fast jazz, but, swiftly, swiftly, you with the Unibomber haircut… Floyd: Me Professor? Keith: That’s where my eyes are looking it seems so yes… gather these papers and disperse them how you see fit, usually one per person helps… Now, this handout is not produced for your enlightenment but merely so I can practice using the new staff room photocopier… Some people can try to study these things – but mostly they don't because someone will take them aside and say, "Eh, this is shit and confusing me", but some people won't listen... I personally find it instructive - it's optional whether you do and there's something worrying abut the idea of me standing up in front of you for an hour and NO-ONE'S LISTENING... If I'm going to waste my time, I'd rather have you staring blankly at a filled page... So… let’s start with the… (Door opens again) Brian: Eh, sorry sir, teacher, sir, I’m late. (Cough) I had to collect my, em, well, it eh, (cough) (sneeze)… I, em, I, can I… ? Keith: Why are you so small and red? You look like a farmer found at Funderland-. Brian: Sorry, I uuugh… (Blows on inhaler). Keith: Ok, ok… Eh, just take a seat and mimic the others. Brian: Thank you sir… I’ll eh just take a seat here… Keith: What’s your name? Brian: B-brian sir, b-but most people call me Bubbles sir. Keith: Being so full of nothing surrounded by a thin sheen of moisture, I can see that… Brian: (Sneezes), (Takes inhaler) Keith: If I may continue mmm? Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: I take that as a yes… Brian: (Inhaler) Keith: As the letters on the page spell, today we apply the basic forward antibody method of blood hematology to easily and quickly provide the user, that’s you, with their blood type (A, AB, B or O) and rhesus factor (Rh negative or Rh positive). If like marmosets and meerkats you absorb guidance quickly, there should be results in a few minutes without the need for beatings. Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: Nyah, by simply comparing the results of blood sample coagulation on the pretreated areas of the test card with a graphic- Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: -picture chart, correct blood grouping is known. The test card can then be filled out with your personal identification information and laminated with- Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: …the provided plastic sheet to make a permanent record.  Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: Now, perhaps everything in the room should be laminated in plastic sheets. Because of the excess amount of snot coming from one particular pupil. Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: Thank you. Now, lay your selected hand, palm up, against a flat table surface. Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: Holding the lancet device in your… Brian: (Sneeze) (inhaler) Keith: …HAND firmly Brian: (Sneeze, sneeze, SNEEZE!) Keith: Lord Crud and his brace of bastard balls! Are you allergic to yourself?!! Brian: Sorry sir, (inhaler) (fart), Em, I don’t seem to have a, could I have a spare photocopy, please? Keith: I don’t run off extras for losers. You can look at the double-sided transparency in front of you. Brian: But I haven’t got a handout in front of me. Keith: Sigh. I know Bubbles that the bogglement of your mind is what this is all about for you so I’ll let you help me by going down to the janitor’s office and picking up a box of left-handed needles and a bucket of steam for our experiment today, the needles being particularly more accurate… Brian: Okay sir, Keith: The door is there if you had forgotten… Brian: Yes… hihih, left handed needles and a bucket of steam… Floyd: Un-believe-able… Ace: Totally O.T.T. (Door opens and slaps) Keith: Class pool refined, we continue… where was I… difficult question isn’t it…oh yes… so lay your selected hand, palm up, against a flat table surface. Holding the lancet device in your other hand against the outside tip of your finger… (Sound of running and panting, then inhaler…) (Knock on janitor's door) Dick: Whats yis want now, ya… ah, howaya Bubbles, what can I help ya with? Brian: Em, urhg, cough, splutter, sneeze, fart… Dick: Calm down young lad, you’ll have a hernia! Brian: Em, eh, Professor Keith sent me down to ask you for some left handed needles and a bucket of steam for the blood type test today… Dick: A bucket of… Fuckin’ bastard…. Brian: Hah? Dick: …and I bet ‘im a tenner too… how does he do it? Brian: Dick? Have you got ‘em? Dick: Ehh, actually just ran out of the feckers last week. Steam’s used up too. Everyone is checkin’ their blood these days, I dunno, strange world, anyway, next week you’ll have a new batch, so Professor Keith should have them plastic lancet needles up there, they’ll do for the meantime good lad, bye now… G’luck! (Closes door) Brian: Um, o-k-aaay… Keith: A positive, A negative, B Positive, B Negative, AB Positive and my very own blood type which is AB Negative and of course like my vast intelligence it’s the rarest of a kind. I'm going to expect all of you to go away and fill in all the details yourselves, ‘cos it's fun! (Door opens) Brian: Sorry sir, Dick didn’t have any needles or buckets of steam. Keith: Oh well… Thanks for your efforts and you know, if snot was flammable Bubbles you would be incinerated right now had I a box of matches. Take your seat Bubbles, feel free to get pricked… Brian: (Sneeze) Keith: Okaaaay, so the exercise is to check that I haven't lied to you with my instructions… Proceed… Floyd: Haheh, look at that, my blood. I’ve never seen it. It looks like brown sauce. Magda: Urgh, I feel… urgh.. (belch, wretch)… phew… almost… Ace: I can’t seem to… (Sound of continued stabbing) Brian: I can’t see for the sweat… (Sneeze)… Floyd: Careful with the greeners! What ya doing? Ace: C’mon ya Klingon! Am I that anaemic?            Keith: Make it idiot proof and someone gives me a better idiot… Magda: Wow… that’s mad, I’m Type O-Negative… Floyd: Tsuh, I wanted to be that… Brian: I… URFM… squelch… Ace: Where’s my red plasma!? Sh-iii--it! (Spray of an arc of blood across a girls face) Magda: AAAGH! I can’t see, he fuckin’ sprayed me… Floyd: Like a Slayer concert!! Ace: Uh-oh, warp shields up, it won’t stop!! Magda: It stings! Floyd: He’s havin’ an airborne transfusion! Ace: Help me Kathryn! I need the good doctor! Keith: RRRIGHT, THAT’S IT! You’re getting on my nerves. Go home. Magda: EEEK! Floyd: She’s fainted… Ace: Uuuuh… I’m gonna die! Keith: Go… Home… Brian: (Belch) Floyd: …excellent… Ace: I’m in the holodeck… Keith: Leave… Ace: … losing blood… Fucking hell… Brian: There’s no such thing as a bucket of steam! U.C.L.S.

WGI Unleashed Podcast Episode 18 – Stephen Dees, Survey Technician Welcome back to WGI Unleashed! In this episode, we have a conversation with Stephen Dees, a Survey Technician with our Geospatial team in Tallahassee, Florida! While studying Geomatics at the University of Florida, Stephen was exposed to a variety of technologies and techniques in the surveying and mapping world that piqued his interest. His coursework and internship experiences led him to pursue a career as a Professional Surveyor and Mapper upon graduation. Stephen joined WGI full time in 2016, and he gets to work on a variety of project types for public, private clients across the Southeast.  Stephen shares with us that he loves using technology to work on projects that help improve his communities and the environment. He is also helping to shape the future of his profession by educating the next generation of students about the rewarding, exciting (and lucrative) career in the surveying and geospatial industry. Like many Floridians, Stephen has a tremendous passion for the outdoors. He tells us that he spends a lot of time in the water dodging snakes and alligators, and likes to go hunting, fishing, and wakeboarding.

Would you be willing to spend four days and nights developing a project with strangers? And what about doing it in public in a glass box? The InCube Challenge organised by the ETH Entrepreneur Club, a student-run non-profit organisation, requires participants to do just that. Geomatics student Agnieszka Rozniak has taken up this challenge. In our latest podcast episode, we accompany her and Sebastian Pinegger, one of the co-organisers, during these intense days.

Sion Rowlands, Sales Manager for Europe, has an extensive Geospatial background beginning with an education in Geomatics and Geospatial surveying. Throughout his career he’s focused on business development and Geospatial consulting throughout the United Kingdom. Now, in his role as Sales Manager, Rowlands showcases, promotes and sells Microdrones integrated systems throughout the European Geospatial community. On the podcast, Sion recaps his experience at the 2018 Intergeo conference, the global hub for the geospatial community. He noted that this year there was a much stronger influence and presence of UAV companies and solution providers. “There’s always been a strong focus on the traditional geospatial data collection methods: GPS, control stations, laser scanners and the like. However, this year there was a much heavier influence and presence of drones and solution providers such as Microdrones,” Rowlands said. "We’re at the point where there’s beginning to be a shift within the industry that UAVs have become an important tool in the geospatial portfolio.”

In this episode, we find out how researchers are utilizing unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs) to gather data. Dr. Dan Gillins, affiliated faculty member, along with his brother Matt Gillins, a graduate student at Oregon State, is conducting research on the feasibility of using UAVs to conduct bridge inspections. Gillins’ research seeks to determine if UAVs can help defray some of the cost and eliminate some of the risk involved with traditional bridge inspections.  COE postdoctoral researcher Dr. Eric Becker developed a UAV-mounted Radiation Compass that maps radiation sources autonomously in real time. The Radiation Compass weighs only 650 grams and can be built for $3,000 giving it a major advantage over current detectors.

Keep it Civil is back for series two, and we're joined by EngD Researcher Gennaro Senatore to discuss the design philosophy of adaptive building structures he developed here at UCL with the Centre for Urban Sustainability and Resilience (USAR) and Expedition Engineering, with the work sponsored by EPSRC. Unlike conventional structures, adaptive structures are designed to change their shape to prevent excessive movement caused by loads, which allows for super-slender structures that look great and use much less material and less whole-life energy. Follow Gennaro (https://twitter.com/g_senatore), Expedition Engineering (https://twitter.com/EXP_Eng) and USAR (https://twitter.com/UCL_USAR) on Twitter. Find out more about adaptive structures and see the truss mentioned in the podcast at a special exhibition at the London Building Centre until 2nd September 2016 (http://www.buildingcentre.co.uk/exhibitions/adaptive-structures). Find out more about Gennaro's work (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/usar/who-we-are/cdt-students/gennaro-senatore) and see the adaptive responsive truss in action (https://vimeo.com/groups/315224).

This week on the TransCanada Music West podcast, we wrap the second season of the series with a hometown performance by Dave McCann and the Firehearts at The Geomatic Attic in Lethbridge. Dave McCann is originally from Ontario, but has made his home in Lethbridge for more than 10 years. His latest album, Circle of Light, is a gritty roots-rock gem produced by fellow Lethbian Leeroy Stagger. For this show, Dave was backed by Alberta music veterans Tim Leacock on bass, Tim Williams on drums, and Dave Bauer on guitar.

Rachna Leveque, Urban Planner and doctoral student at UCL, joins us to talk about how density relates to governance and resilience in cities, with a special look at Mumbai. What exactly do planners mean when they talk about density, and why is it important? How are resilience and density linked? What can we learn from Mumbai's example?
