I have recently joined the editorial team at Spatial Demography — a new journal outlet for demographers and others who use spatial data, methods, and theory.
A bit more about the journal:
Spatial Demography [ISSN: 2164-7070 (online)] focuses on the spatial analysis of demographic processes. This cross-disciplinary work involves modern demographic data visualization, enhanced geo-referenced data availability, and spatial statistics, facilitated through full color graphics, motion video tools, and a quick time-to-publication. The journal publishes research articles, essays, research reports, data sources, computing software, teaching notes, and book reviews on a wide range of topics of interest to the social demographer.
Dr. Tim Stojanovic will be coming to the Department of Geography at Hunter College, CUNY next week to give a talk entitled: “Analysing Change in the Human Development of the World’s Oceans”. The talk will be held on June 5th, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. in the Hunter North building, room 1004. The talk is hosted by the Department of Geography, and the poster is available here.
Welcome to the new and improved carsonfarmer.com! If you are reading this, then
you are enjoying my new, responsive static website/blog. The new site is powered
by Pelican — a static website generator written in Python — and is hosted
on GitHub using GitHub Pages. Most of the content on the
site is written in Markdown, which makes it really easy to add headings, anchors,
and all sorts of goodies to simplify writing blog posts and web-pages.
An article I worked on with Dr Tim Stojanovic, “The development of world oceans & coasts and concepts of sustainability”, has recently been published online, with the journal Marine Policy. The article can be cited as:

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been following a really great blog by Carl Vogel. This blog has an excellent (growing) collection of Python examples based on porting code and examples from R to Python. In general, it is useful for those “interested in the Python data analysis toolkit and its viability as an alternative to R”. Carl draws on examples from Machine Learning for Hackers by Drew Conway and John Miles White, as well as Gelman and Hill’s Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models.
