🆕 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...

A final farewell to Landsat 7. Farewell to the scan line errors… but gratitude for the improved thermal band and better spatial coverage. You served us well, thank you! 🙏🙏🙏 www.usgs.gov/landsat-miss...

Good Intentions Are Not Enough: Land-use spillovers from environmental policy interventions 🌐🌍 doi.org/10.1016/j.gl...

"[T]he Humboldtian, Eurocentric perception of forests as the ideal natural state persists, [...] at the expense of grasslands and other open ecosystems." Nature conservation policies are biased toward forests and neglect grassy ecosystems worldwide | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🌳🛰️ 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.

It's important that science continues, now more than ever. Hence I am happy to share our recent paper which shows the slowing of post-mortality forest recovery @natplants.nature.com. With great colleagues including @smmunson.bsky.social @wmhammond.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📣In our new paper we analyzed the impact of #Landsat and #Sentinel-2 🛰️ #satellite data density and SMA endmembers on trends in #grasslands ground cover: - for monthly composites data density is irrelevant - correct endmember definitions are critical‼️ Check out the full paper tinyurl.com/wha6pzax

🚨 Fresh off the press in #RSE: D. Klehr's first #PhD chapter 🎉 presents a new approach to surpass classification of tree species for large areas 🛰️🌳🌲. We pair #Sentinel2 #EarthObservation with #ANN #AI models to predict sub-pixel tree species! #OpenAccess: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

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

📣Our global 🌍 overview of usable Landsat and Sentinel-2 🛰️ data now comprises also information from 2024! The complete 1982-2024 dataset can be browsed via a #GEE app: tinyurl.com/322e63p2 and downloaded from here: doi.org/10.5061/drya...

Observations from 3 #Sentinel2 satellites! Increased revisit frequency. Terrific news! “This configuration will enhance the availability of Sentinel-2 data, with additional Sentinel-2 observations on the same relative orbit, occurring 2 days apart from Sentinel-2B and 1 day apart from Sentinel-2C.”

Berlin is a wonderful place to live—I’ve always considered it my second home. The Geography department at @humboldtuni.bsky.social is especially strong, and you can work with many AMAZING colleagues there!

How can AI for #EarthObservation deliver for social good? Read our recent #openaccess IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine article, co-authored by @hostertp.bsky.social and @philrufin.bsky.social!

ESA has granted Sentinel-2A a one-year exceptional and temporary extension, delaying its retirement and increasing Sentinel-2 revisit times. europeanspaceflight.com/sentinel-2a-...

Commercial very-high-resolution satellite imagery is crucial for monitoring smallholder farming systems (SDG 2), but paywalls block innovation and progress. We call for open access to these data for sustainability-centered research in @pnas.org! Read the full text here: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Congratulations to Esmaeel Adrah on the publication of his first paper in #RSE! 👏 🏷️ In this paper, we integrated #GEDI, #Sentinel-1, and #Sentinel-2 data to map tree crops in a Mediterranean environment. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

1/n Please see our new paper in Nature Communications! We used 1,851 tree-ring fire-scar sites and contemporary fire perimeters to quantify the prevalence of wildfire from 1600-1880 compared to 1984-2022. 🧪🌍🔥 Our key findings are as follows ...

Six years in the making and finally published! Our viewpoint on how to improve tree mortality monitoring. With in-depth discussion on how to improve ground-based monitoring, integration of ground-based monitoring with remote sensing and modelling, and fair and collaborative science: lnkd.in/dJgSRQHt

I accidentally checked my "junk" #email folder today and was shocked to find so many legitimate emails wrongly marked as junk—even from senders in existing threads! My sincere apologies to anyone who hasn’t received a response from me.

When my house and community burned - where was the satellite information? A very raw blog post I am putting up so folks in the satellite, geospatial and tech fields can listen firsthand why I think we are failing the situations that need us the most. www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-o...

We received a fantastic cover feature for their December issue!

📢 Heading to the #AGU24 Annual Meeting next week? Join us for our presentations on Monday, we’d love to see you there! I am also happy to catch up over ☕ or 🍵 if you’re around! agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/me...

This a great piece from @theguardian.com The situation in Bulgaria also reflects trends in rapidly urbanizing areas globally. We have a research group on land abandonment at @GlobalLandP Check it out👉 tinyurl.com/bdf2dac7 with @prial78.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/news/2024/no...

There's so many EO and remote sensing people on here now that I've had to make a second starter pack! 🤯🛰️ Please follow all these awesome people too - and let me know if you'd like to be added! go.bsky.app/UeL1FL1

My first post here! Check out our research published in Nature Sustainability, where we explore the potential and challenges of using abandoned cropland for biodiversity conservation: cpree.princeton.edu/news/2024/pr...
