🌍 Geoscientist | Environmental Geospatial Modeler Exploring how landscapes think — through data, chemistry, and terrain. I work at the crossroads of hydrogeochemistry, remote sensing, and GIS-based environmental modelling. Mostly self-directed research: from asking real-world questions to building geospatial models and visual narratives that connect science and society. I’m not a “tool user” — I’m a systems thinker with a geochemical compass and a data-driven map.

To distinguish between "normal" and anomalous surface temperatures in Calgary in 2025, I applied Tukey’s method. The statistical distribution shows a negative skewness (coefficient ≈−0.59).
This highlights a critical phenomenon: the vast majority of the urban area is densely clustered in the warmer temperature range. In contrast, cool refuges (the rivers, reservoir, and dense parks) are statistically scarce, forming a long "tail" on the left side of the plot. In essence, Calgary’s baseline is shifted toward higher temperatures, making Urban Cool Islands a rare and vital resource.
I would like to remind my readers and followers that I am currently preparing a comprehensive article based on these research results. In it, I will explore the ecological and geochemical implications of this thermal distribution. Stay tuned for further updates!
