Reminder: Join us today for the NITheCS Colloquium — “Turning Data into Decisions by Bridging Mathematics, Ecology & Policy” with Dr Sandra MacFadyen (SU). 🕓 Today, 16h00–17h00 SAST 📍 Attend in person or online buff.ly/GPtVsp2 #Biodiversity #EcologicalResearch #Conservation #Ecology #Mathematics

Come by poster stand L20 today at #LPS25. Happy to chat about #savanna ecosystems, vegetation structure, #GEDI #lidar, #Sentinel-1 and whatever else you have in mind!

The first #ESA #BIOMASS image was revealed at #LPS25 yesterday. You can find a few more images (like the one attached showing desert structures in Chad) as well as additional information in this article: www.esa.int/Applications...

🆕 The first stunning images from our groundbreaking #Biomass satellite mission have been released – they mark a major leap forward in our ability to understand how Earth’s forests are changing and exactly how they contribute to the global carbon cycle 🌳🌍 www.esa.int/Applications...

The 14 March NITheCS Micro-School titled ‘Introduction to Xarray: Empowering Multidimensional Data Analysis’ by Marco Wolsza (Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany) may now be viewed online at buff.ly/jLJ4KKI.

I am excited to announce that Remote Sensing of Forests Summer School registration is open! Details and program: earthbridge.eu/summer-school/. See you there! 🌲🌳🛰️🛩️🚀🌍🎓 #HorizonEU #EarthObservation #Copernicus #ForestMapping

Happy to give a short coffee break introduction to Xarray this Friday!

How depressing: 250 companies causing 73% of Ecosystem Damage globally #BIOSPACE25 @esa.int

Per their request, we decided to go for it. I changed the title to "The strain on antioxidant publishing" and did a bunch of ctrl find+replace for words like "publisher" with "gut niche" and just sent it back. Find the paper here: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/... 1/3

The irony of reading this while attending a conference about bio********* from space #biospace25

Some more good news for the Sentinel-2 mission! Sentinel-2A, which recently retired, has been given a temporary extension, where it will support S2B and S2C to provide additional data. Lots of hard work behind the scenes to make this happen. Glad to see it! sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel...

"Tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas matter for biodiversity protection, and the future of this planet relies on these ecosystems to the same extent it relies on forests." 💚

First image taken by ESA Sentinel-1 C SAR radar over the svalbard /spitzberg. It was time ! S1A is in end of life and S1B is dead. The avantage of SAR is that it doesn't care if it is day or night or if there are clouds.

A new #Sentinel-1 satellite has already been launched in our office today and is now in orbit around the Christmas tree. Hopefully the Sentinel-1C launch is going to be just as successful tonight! 🛰️ #EarthObservation #remotesensing #EOChat #ESA #Copernicus

🌐 Did you know? “Desert” “rainforest” “tundra” “grassland” or “savanna” are widely used terms in common language, but each have multiple definitions and no universally accepted spatial distribution. Find out more in our recent paper 👉 doi.org/10.1002/ecm.... #biome #ecology #biogeography

Abstract submission deadline for ESA Living Planet Symposium #LPS25 has been extended to December 3rd! lps25.esa.int #EOChat #EarthObservation

New work, where I went into human computer mode to translate a NOAA satellite image I received via radio frequency into a tonal drawing, pixel by pixel.

Great advice for early career scientists! #phd #phdchat #phdsky

Interested in machine learning in science? Timo and I recently published a book, and even if you are not a scientist, you'll find useful overviews of topics like causality and robustness. The best part is that you can read it for free: ml-science-book.com

Must read paper for anyone interested in studying #savanna #ecosystems using #EarthObservation!

The SARCalNet website is open to the public since last week https://www.sarcalnet.org/ Providing standardized information on #SAR calibration sites to the community, as well as other cal/val resources. #ceos #remotesensing #earthobservation

The strain on scientific publishing: we set out to characterise the remarkable growth of the scientific literature in the last few years, in spite of declining growth in total scientists. What is going on? direct.mit.edu/qss/article/... A 🧵 1/n #AcademicSky #PhDchat #ScientificPublishing #SciPub

I heard bluesky likes links. So here is a link to a book I’m writing. github.com/NannyML/The-...

Data preparation! It's crucial for machine learning, and we all hate it. Tools and techniques to reduce this burden? A talk summarizing of 10 years of R&D on this, from cheap tricks to LLMs and graph neural networks www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU_W... Entertaining and interesting, I hope

Where are my open source geospatial people? Here's a starter pack to get us going. Who am I missing? #gischat #geosky go.bsky.app/PGYLmPG
