CAS SEE Seminars with Guests: Miloš Popović

On Thursday, March 13, 2025 at 12:00 pm (CET), we are hosting the CAS SEE Seminar with Miloš Popović on Mapping for Impact: Unleash Spatial Stories that Drive Change in conversation with the RECAS Fellow Eleni Oikonomaki.

About the seminar

Miloš Popović will explore how maps transform raw data into powerful stories that drive change in local communities. Through a creative process involving three key projects, Popović delves into environmental challenges and reveals actionable insights for decision-makers:

  • Visualizing Tree Cover Loss: This project sets the stage by highlighting environmental shifts and urban sprawl, providing a clear picture of what’s at stake.
  • 3D Interactive Maps with NASA FIRMS: Building on the first project, we delve into the impact of fire events on tree cover loss.
  • Advanced 3D Mapping with NASA FIRMS: Explore a deeper layer of analysis with advanced techniques using the same NASA FIRMS data, unlocking further insights into environmental dynamics and informing smarter urban planning.
