I can be reached at delmelle@design.upenn.edu<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am an urban and transportation geographer and a Geographic Information Scientist. I am fascinated by cities and neighborhoods and in understanding their processes of change. I love searching for new and creative ways of visualizing and analyzing these dynamic processes &#8211; from the more complex <a href=\"https:\/\/neighborhooddynamics.dreamhosters.com\/\">geocomputational approaches<\/a> to the simple word cloud made from real estate listings-I enjoy seeking out new data sources or methods and investigating their potentials and limitations in illuminating processes of change.<a href=\"http:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/elizabeth-delmelle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/201\/2021\/04\/belmont.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-209  alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/elizabeth-delmelle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/201\/2021\/04\/belmont-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/elizabeth-delmelle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/201\/2021\/04\/belmont-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/elizabeth-delmelle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/201\/2021\/04\/belmont-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/elizabeth-delmelle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/201\/2021\/04\/belmont-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/elizabeth-delmelle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/201\/2021\/04\/belmont.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My research partner, <a href=\"https:\/\/pages.charlotte.edu\/isabelle-nilsson\/\">Dr. Isabelle Nilsson<\/a> and I have recently wrapped up an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/awardsearch\/showAward?AWD_ID=1759714&amp;HistoricalAwards=false\">NSF-funded project on residential mobility and the probability of transit-induced displacemen<\/a>t. <a href=\"https:\/\/osf.io\/preprints\/socarxiv\/5ka2g\/\">Here<\/a> is a book chapter I recently wrote summarizing much of what we&#8217;ve learned through this project.
