The posts below are mostly focussed on the use of open source software in research and education. And to specificy this even further, it will likely be about the use of GIS and other analytical tools. But, I might get inspired and write about a totally different subject. I will also migrate some of the potentially useful blogposts from Ecostudies over to this site, so I can eventually shut that one down.
