WorldPop researchers improve mapping accuracy for rare habitats WorldPop researchers describe the novel ERF model, improving geospatial mapping accuracy by capturing rare habitats critical for biodiversity and conservation planning.

A new ERF model from WorldPop improves geospatial mapping by capturing rare habitats often lost in traditional methods 🌱📍

Better data = better conservation decisions.

Predicting the Next Wave: Mapping the "War" Between Viruses New research reveals how interactions between influenza, SARS-CoV-2 and RSV may shape epidemic timing and risk, improving infectious disease forecasting with spatial population data.

Do viruses “fight” each other and alter epidemics? 🦠⚔️

New research shows recent Influenza A infection may temporarily reduce susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2, and shows that accounting for these interactions can improve epidemic forecasting.
