As part of the recent Springer Nature book on "Recent Developments in Geospatial Information Sciences", the Geolingual Studies team has published a chapter entitled: "Can Social Media Data Help to Understand the Socio-spatial Heterogeneity of the Interests and Concerns of Urban Citizens? A Twitter Data Assessment for Mexico City".

A new paper titled “The voices of the displaced: Mobility and Twitter conversations of migrants of Ukraine in 2022” has been published in the journal Information, Processing and Management. In this research, the Geolingual Studies team joined the collective effort to produce relevant information regarding the ongoing humanitarian crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine. They identified mobility patterns and the main interests, opinions and needs of migrants from Ukraine at diverse stages of their migration process based on social media data. For this, spatial analysis and natural language processing techniques were integrated to assess multilingual geolocated data produced by Twitter users who left Ukraine after the beginning of the war.
