Say goodbye to human-readable EO images. Computers do not need to look and think as humans to get work done. Accuracy and efficiency is all you need. Google EE team now makes 10m ARD (annual starting from 2020) synthetic bands / deep features (64 in total): developers.google.com/earth-engine...

Interesting to see these numbers at #LPS25: @esa.int costs about €8B per year; Copernicus (especially Sentinel-1 a -2) is now the world leading source of open EO data, but this is still *only* 0.06% of GDP. USA invests almost 3 times more (per capita).

We are excited to come to #LPS25 and connect with EO / remote sensing data scientists (apparently over 6500 participants are expected!) next week. Well done @esa.int ! Are you also coming to Vienna next week and would like to connect? Please bookmark and visit us: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

#SoilOrganicCarbon (organic matter / plant and animal residues at various stages of decomposition) is one of the key indicators of #soilhealth / soil ecosystem services. But how do you measure and report SOC? We advocate that SOC density [kg/m3] is the central variable to monitor SOC dynamics [1/5]

BREAKING: In recent days, the #TrumpAdministration has taken significant actions to slow U.S. #ClimateAction. They have frozen most U.S. foreign assistance, moved to abolish USAID, and withdrawn from the #ParisAgreement, among other actions. Read the statement from Ani Dasgupta: buff.ly/3WP2R28

I made long-term estimates of soil moisture at 1km for EU (quarterly 2014-2024) based on Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. I tried also producing monthly/bimonthly aggregates, but these have too many artifacts. You can assess data under CC-BY at: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... @ai4soilhealth.bsky.social

It is estimated that humans have cut down about 1/3rd of the global forests since pre-industrial times. Another 1/3rd is degraded. We tragically ignore how much nature we have consumed, as it is infinite. This is an estimate of the tree cover loss for the period 1985 to 2022: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Last 12+ months we've put an effort to try to process GLAD Landsat (1.4PB) to try to make complete consistent global cloud-free mosaics (as open data) / part of the #LandCarbonLab project. Stay tuned as we plan to release 10× more data in 2025. peerj.com/articles/18585
