I totally want to do this, but I'm kinda disturbed by the fact that they don't explicitly mention how the anonymization is done. Given that they want to study dynamics, I'm guessing they are going to be collecting timestamped location data, which is one of those data sets that is intensely personal and really hard to properly anonymize.
