Our latest contribution in Geophysical Research Letters examines spatial-scale effects on surface #water detection with important implications for multi-sensor water monitoring. doi.org/10.1029/2025... Thank you, NASA FINESST & Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition program for funding.

Headed to #AGU25 next week? Check out the work my group is presenting on #flooding and climate-driven hazards: 🌧️ Using geospatial foundation models for global flood mapping 🏙️ Satellite- and process-based comparisons of flood extent & depth in urban envs 🌪️ Hurricane-induced flash floods #Helene

🌍 Geospatial data science in 2025 still comes down to two words: foundation models. And over the past months, we’ve had the chance to put that idea into practice for global flood mapping. Summary figures & discussion on Hugging Face: 👉 lnkd.in/euR9DXfX Full technical preprint: 👉 lnkd.in/eYMCZd9e
