Compared to vision and sound, smell remains understudied in cities. Building on our previous work on making invisible urban smells visible, @AndyCrooks, @atepoorthuis and I explore the connection between vision and smell, and how visual cues shape the way we perceive smells.

If you’re at #AAG2026, feel free to join our GISER Symposium: Future of Human-Centered Geospatial AI. The symposium builds on four sessions on Sensing Human Experiences with Emerging Geospatial Methods. Hope to see you there!

Officially Dr. Chen! 🥳🥳
Huge thanks to my amazing committee: @AndyCrooks @JaredAldstadt @Yingjie_Hu @atepoorthuis and to everyone who’s been part of this journey. Can’t believe this chapter is really over but the story is still going! 🌈

👃Ever wondered if you can measure the olfactory sense in cities? We (@AndyCrooks, @atepoorthuis) quantify urban smells through geosocial media, offering a bottom-up method that brings the concept of smellscape into quantitative domain. Learn more👉tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Excited to have contributed to this interesting study led by @LindaMSee in @iScience_CP! 🎉 We explore how generative AI can enhance land cover mapping by integrating multi-modal large language models with citizen science. Check it out here: 👇
