Applications are now open for the DEBIAS Workshop and Symposium, taking place on 7–8 July 2026 at the @liverpooluni.bsky.social The event is centred on a methodological question: how digital mobility data can be used more credibly when issues of bias/representativeness remain unresolved.

The first London Universities Population Seminar of 2026 is tomorrow! Francisco Rowe (@fcorowe.bsky.social) is joining us to present his work "Correcting Distorted Human Population Data from Mobile Phone Location Data" Tomorrow 13.00 at LSE, CON.1.01.

1/ Internal displacement is hard to measure, esp. in the early phase of a crisis when operational decisions must be made with limited info. Our recent work explores whether privacy-preserving GPS mobility data can contribute to short-term displacement estimation. Paper: doi.org/10.1057/s415...

In “Impacts of COVID-19 on Internal Population Movements,” M Gonzalez-Leonardo, @fcorowe.bsky.social et al. used Facebook mobility data to show that contrary to the Global North, “Mexico did not see an urban exodus during the pandemic." @geodatascience.bsky.social read.dukeupress.edu/demography/a...

Back from a great trip to Australia 🇦🇺. Presented at the #IPC2025, shared our DEBIAS work on human mobility📱and revisited my PhD home at UQ. Delivered seminars at UQ and Griffith University—fantastic discussions on mobility, data science & climate change. More on DEBIAS 👉 de-bias.github.io/debias/
