Workshop on “Geodata, (social) media data and linguistics”

February 26, 2025

On 26 February 2025, a workshop on “Geodata, (social) media data and linguistics” was held at DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen. Colleagues from the German Remote Sensing Data Center (DFD) of the DLR and from the Chair of English Linguistics as well as our Earth Observation Research Cluster (EORC) of the University of Würzburg (JMU) presented the status quo of their work and discussed new research directions and opportunities for cooperation. Linking spatial data from remote sensing with other geo- and text data is proving to be a profitable way of describing and understanding processes in a better and more multidimensional way.

 

The cross-institutional research team has already carried out many joint projects within the framework of Geolingual Studieshttps://www.phil.uni-wuerzburg.de/gls/ . An international workshop organized at the JMU in Würzburg in September 2023 formed one basis for the work. Here are the corresponding links:

Beyond these initiatives, other research studies combining remote sensing and (social)media data have been published:
