Can we estimate optical vegetation indices and biohpysical parameters for forests using #Sentinel1 #SAR & ancillary data? We tried to answer this in our latest paper in @bigearthdata1.bsky.social With the help of #machinelearning we generated SAR-based NDVI, EVI, LAI & FAPAR doi.org/10.1080/2096...

Between 2019 and 2023, researchers paid $8.968 billion to make papers open access. Imagine what else could be done with this money if it wasnt paid to for profit publishing companies... 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2407.16551

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...

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

Roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X https://go.nature.com/42tH8Ai

This might be the first time after 10 years that boosted trees are not the best default choice when working with data in tables. Instead a pre-trained neural network is, the new TabPFN, as we just published in Nature 🎉

1/X Hotovo! Envidata 10.0 jsou k dispozici-dosud největší aktualizace v historii tohoto projektu. Pojďme se podívat, co je nového. Kromě aktualizovaného vzhledu jsou to zejména kompletní časové řady, nové prvky, více stanic, výrazně lepší grafické zpracování a mnoho nových možností práce s daty.

⌛️ Last Tuesday marked the end of my more than six-year journey at the PR Department of @sciencecharles.bsky.social 🐣 I started here during my master's, but over these 6 years, I had the opportunity to get to know it from a much different perspective than an average student could.
