As a two-month-old open lab, we made a lot of progress since I established and invited your join in the late of October. Hope we could keep such effort in the coming 2014. BTW, during the last weeks, our updates are as follows. 1 We have added several working papers. Our interview report with our honorable director Prof Mike Batty (CASA, UCL) appears in this channel as a working paper. In the short future, we would replace it with a better-organized review document on applied urban modeling based on the review, and at that time we would move the interview report to somewhere else in BCL. http://longy.jimdo.com/working-papers/wp-21-40/ 2 We have released several datasets, including the China impervious area and the Interpreted urban land of China in 2008. I found we have made some forward to the country level data and study in the last weeks. Actually several members of BCL are working on a national scale urban expansion model and mapping city boundaries of all Chinese cities. Hope it would come out in three months or less. http://longy.jimdo.com/data-released/ 3 Create a new sub-channel under Working Paper, "Slices", and now we have two slice files for open reading.I am to add more via soliciting from members as well as my previous slices. http://longy.jimdo.com/working-papers/slices/ Cheers, enjoy the holidays. -- Best regards, 龙 瀛 Ying LONG Ph.D, Assoc.
