We've been having an incredible time at NWG (Northumbrian Water Group) #InnovationFestival24 - connecting with others and holding a 'TrustTees' sprint this week. 🤝 Our 'Monarchs of the Tees' are making great progress deliberating how best to deliver the right marine restoration, whilst also enabling development growth to the Tees Estuary. And having fun along the way! 👏

Can you spot the differences between our old and new Light base map style? Following user feedback - we've updated the Light style, including: 💡 Lighter colours to ensure any data has better contrast with the basemap 💡 Tweaked saturation on features such as greenspace and water for a fresher appearance 💡 Simplified all zoom levels, reviewing label and feature importance 💡 Improved legibility of data overlays by removing select name labels at mid-zoom levels Use it to add geographic context and make your own data stand out, through OS Maps API: https://ow.ly/G9pQ50SvrNN

As part of this collaboration, we're really looking forward to supporting geography-related research and education at all levels - looking at how geographical data can help create policy solutions in areas such as climate change. 🤝 And promoting the role of geography to support better outcomes for Scottish citizens, whether through the promotion of healthy living or support to councils or emergency services. Royal Scottish Geographical Society
We are pleased to announce the renewal of our long-standing collaboration with Ordnance Survey, to help promote the essential role geography and geospatial in delivering climate solutions! Read more: https://lnkd.in/eASdu-EM

Discover the hidden gems of our nation with the OS National Geographic Database (OS NGD) Land Theme! 🗺️ Whether it’s the intricate patterns of residential gardens or the rugged beauty of marshlands - this collection reveals the rich tapestry of land cover information: https://ow.ly/PA6H50SsO44 🌳
Ordnance Survey data can be used to tell stories at all scales. NGD Land data contains information about the physical surface of the land across Great Britain. I've taken a few fairly random subsets of the NGD Land data and combined some together according to my own arbitrary tastes; see comments for which classifications I'm using for "trees", "gardens", and "heath and scrub". By aggregating to 10km grid cells across Great Britain, we see that Scotland is home to a lot of our heath and scrub land, gardens are (obviously) clustered towards our urban centres, and trees are found surprisingly uniformly across the country. By aggregating to 1km grid cells within the ceremonial county of Hampshire, the New Forest stands out as the home of most of the county's heath and scrub and patches of woodlands stand out. By aggregating to 100m grid cells and focusing on the Southampton Built-Up Area, the structure of the city's neighbourhoods and parks stand out clearly. All analysis performed in Databricks with pyspark, and the visual was put together with matplotlib.
