TL;DR
This unique work uses mobile phone use data in Haiti to investigate the population dynamics and displacement as a result of the tragic 2010 earthquake, and allows a study of how population concentrations, which are established in cities, respond to and are affected by ExEvs.

This work develops a framework for understanding the robustness of interacting networks subject to cascading failures and presents exact analytical solutions for the critical fraction of nodes that, on removal, will lead to a failure cascade and to a complete fragmentation of two interdependent networks.

Analysis of the movements of 1.9 million mobile phone users in Haiti and the destinations of people who left the capital during the first three weeks after the earthquake suggest that population movements during disasters may be significantly more predictable than previously thought.

This paper presents empirical motivation for studying movement, the physics of biological motion, and other search models used in adaptation versus emergent superdiffusion, which help clarify the motivation for foraging in albatrosses.
Journal of Visual Languages & ComputingA conceptual framework and taxonomy of techniques for analyzing movement
143 Citations2011Gennady Andrienko, Natalia Andrienko +4 more
A conceptual framework is presented that describes in a systematic and comprehensive way the possible types of information that can be extracted from movement data and on this basis defines the respective types of analytical tasks.

This work has unearthed interesting new phenomena which have been proposed as explanations for many long-standing ecological problems involving spatial movement and heterogeneity of species.
International Journal of Geographical Information SystemsUsing space–time visual analytic methods for exploring the dynamics of ethnic groups' residential patterns
8 Citations2010Itzhak Omer, Peter Michael Bak +1 more
A methodological framework, based on georeferenced house-level socio-demographic and infrastructure data, is presented for investigating minority (or ethnic) group residential pattern dynamics in cities to help researchers examine how local land-use configurations shape minorities' residential dynamics and, thereby, affect the level of minority–majority segregation.
