I can attest to this since we were doing field work at this time. Sweaty from start to finish above the Arctic Circle... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Our last day of fieldwork for the #EnMAP project was eventful with lightning, hail, wind and a downpour. Luckily all viewed from Björkliden's restaurant terrace. Unfortunately the clouds moved in just in time for the satellite overpass.

Another beautiful day of groundtruthing for our #EnMAP.#SNSA project ... without sweating from start to finish under a hot sun.

Fieldwork for Emil's hyperspectral PhD work was in Kärkevägge today. Not a bad work environment...

Emil and I are on our way north for 2 weeks of field work... with a little bit of equipment...

Another exciting day in the ReindeerFlux project!🦌 Frida and @colebrachmann.bsky.social measured CO₂ & CH₄, while Alex and Johan flew drones with radar, multispectral & NDVI sensors. Thanks @svtnyheter.bsky.social’s Susan & Henrik for visiting—loved sharing our work in beautiful Grövelsjön! 🌿

This describes our vacation so far...

#LPS25 power breakfast

Yesterday, besides the opening session of #LPS25, I found Sofia Walther et al's talk on estimating Arctic Boreal NEE interesting, with importance of local training and addition of meteo variables, with more results to come.

🔴 LIVE now on #ESAWebTV: opening keynote at #LPS25 in Vienna! 🌍 Stay with us for the latest breakthroughs in Earth observation 👉 esawebtv.esa.int The opening ceremony will include the unveiling of the first images from our forest mission, #Biomass 👇 lps25.esa.int/opening-sess...

I'm walking to #LPS25 this morning, glad for the shade of Sycamore trees in the city of Vienna. We need the trees more than ever.🌳

More of this truth telling please (and thank you)

Fantastic introductory seminar by our new PhD student Emil Larsson! 🛰️ He’ll be exploring how hyperspectral satellite data can unlock new insights into Arctic biodiversity ❄️🌱. Excited to follow his journey — and to learn a lot along the way! 📚✨

🌳🛰️ Our groundbreaking Biomass satellite lifted off on Vega-C #VV26 from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana at 10:15 BST/11:15 CEST on 29 April. The satellite is designed to provide unprecedented insights into the world’s forests and their crucial role in Earth’s carbon cycle.

Today @ 1700 the embargo on our Arctic synthesis published in @nature.com is lifted.

Several research institutes in Germany are joining a worldwide grassroots effort to save science data sets that researchers fear could be deleted by US President Donald Trump’s administration https://go.nature.com/4jnEXnt

One month left to apply for this #academicjob at U of Gothenburg, Sweden. #remotesensing, #satellites, #drones, #machinelearning. Come work with us on #Arctic and #alpine vegetation, also #biodiversity and #climate. Requires PhD taken max 7 years ago (excl leave).

🛰️ 3 sessions, one poster pitch & more than 30 speakers later, we've learnt a lot about the current mission status, insights into other missions, and a whole variety of different use cases for #EnMAP data! Now it's time for one last poster session before we're off to our icebreaker event! #EnMAP2025

At the #EnMAP 2nd annual users meeting in Munich. Ca 80 people attending in person. Exciting times for #hyperspectral data use, and EnMAP data are looking good.

Job announcement! Come work with us as Assoc Sr Lecturer in Earth and Env Data Science at U of Gothenburg, Sweden. Tenure track for someone with broad remote sensing & machine learning knowledge. Work with climate change, Earth systems, biodiversity, #EO, #UAV... Deadline 10 May tinyurl.com/58ft38du

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

🧪🌍🦤🦑🌐 🐋 Really well done new video clip on the Permafrost Carbon Network led by colleagues here @NAU. Check it out! www.permafrostcarbon-aware.org/wp-content/u...

Brave New World. The US sliding down into an authoritarian oligarchy.

Given what is going on in US now, has anyone gotten a clue of what will happen with #Landsat? I can imagine they might go back to commercial selling of data - Im old enough to remember those days. Glad we have #Sentinel2 but... thinking of downloading old Landsat data this weekend... 😞 #eochat #eo

I'm hiring, two fully funded PhD positions! Come work in Umeå in Arctic Sweden, a leading place for high-latitude ecosystem ecology and carbon biogeochemistry

Happy #EarthRotationDay! As we celebrate this unique day that honors French physicist Léon Foucault, it is also fitting to recognize advancements in #EarthObservation technology. The upcoming #LandsatNext mission will revolutionize our ability to monitor and understand Earth. 🌎

I am updating my lecture on future remote sensing developments, mainly new sensors to come. Anyone have any future sensor news they think I shouldn't miss? I will share the full info later.

🚨 New research warns of accelerated timelines for a sea-ice-free Arctic 🧊 🔜 💧 Paper by Céline Heuzé (U of Gothenburg) & Alexandra Jahn (INSTAAR & ATOC, CU Boulder). Read Jahn's 🧵 below. And check out the news story at colorado.edu/today/2024/1...

📢New publication by PhD student Cas Renette. Over 1 year we flew 5 campaigns of #UAV #Lidar to make #DTMs over #permafrost features (palsas) in N Sweden. We saw 15 cm heave on avg between Sept '22-April '23, as well as subsidence from April '23-Sept '23 #geospatial tc.copernicus.org/articles/18/...

For my reading list...

Good initiative here to post tutorials on #R for #Lidar. To the #Lidar community, how are you classifying your point clouds? Open source or commercial? I think sharing tips on what everyone is using would be helpful.

New paper from Alexandra's PhD, where we show that warming from thicker snow depths may accelerate permafrost carbon loss in the coldest parts of the Arctic. Now out in Communications Earth & Environment, with @millerinlund.bsky.social & @samsrabin.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s43... #ISIMIP

Great presentations at the BECC annual meeting in Gothenburg. The picture is of Henrik Smith explaining the history of becc.lu.se.
