Llevo unos días dándole vueltas a una idea que, en el fondo, es bastante sencilla: si tenemos la huella de cada edificio, su altura y un modelo digital de superficies de alta resolución, ¿por qué seguimos viendo estudios de potencial solar que tratan los tejados como manchas homogéneas sobre un mapa? De esa pregunta, y de unas cuantas sesiones intensas de R, ha salido SolarScope, una aplicación Shiny que estoy desarrollando para hacer scoring de potencial fotovoltaico tejado a tejado, con datos abiertos y un flujo que se puede reproducir tanto en España como en Estados Unidos.

Detecting Potential Mobile Coverage Gaps Using OpenCellID, GHSL and Overture Maps: Case study over TUNIS
Mobile connectivity has become a fundamental component of modern infrastructure, yet significant spatial inequalities in network access still persist across both urban peripheries and rural environments. Using openly available geospatial datasets, this analysis explores potential mobile coverage gaps by combining OpenCellID cellular infrastructure observations, GHSL population layers and vector data extracted from Overture Maps. The objective is not to reproduce real telecom propagation models, but to generate a simplified spatial estimation of coverage capable of identifying populated areas potentially located outside the influence of nearby cellular infrastructure.
AERIAL SURVEYOR SIMULATOR: Reimagining Aerial Photography
For three years, my office was thousands of feet in the air. As an aerial photographer, I spent my days capturing the world’s textures, layouts, and topographies from a cockpit—a masterclass in perspective that I am now transforming into a Aerial Surveyor Simulator.
