Our paper demonstrates a simple method for monitoring harmful #algal_blooms / #cyanobacteria in a #lake over space and time, using #ChlorophyllA as a proxy and open source satellite imagery. You just need a few well-timed chl-a samples from your lake to calibrate an #aquatic chlorophyll index https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/cjfas-2024-0374 #earthobservation #SatelliteRemoteSensing #PigeonLake #lake_ecology

"@militarnyi quotes unnamed users of Maxar's commercial service as saying that the company provided them with an official explanation that the restriction was made 'in response to an administrative request.'"

US curtails Ukraine access to satellite imagery

Maxar, a leading provider of commercial satellite imagery to Ukrainian users, says the Trump administration suspended access in Ukraine.

So one of my colleagues has written a short #blog on a recent #paper investigating how the potassium emission line produced by flaming #wildfires could help to improve #smoke #emission estimates https://centreforwildfires.org/news/how-potassium-in-biomass-could-improve-wildfire-emission-estimates/ #RemoteSensing #AirborneRemoteSensing #SatelliteRemoteSensing
How Potassium in Biomass Could Improve Wildfire Emission Estimates - Leverhulme Wildfires Centre

By Farrer Owsley-Brown, King’s College London Leverhulme Wildfires researchers from King’s College London have published a new paper, “Can the remote sensing of combustion phase improve estimates of landscape fire smoke emission rate and composition?”, in Atmospheric Measurement Techniques. Our work takes a fresh look at a crucial, yet often overlooked, factor in wildfire emissions: […]

Time for an #introduction after not doing anything with this account for a week:
I'm a meteorologist by training. I study #AerosolOptics (i.e., the links between physical and optical properties of aerosol particles) and dust storms using #SatelliteRemoteSensing. Work-wise I'm interested in #DataAssimilation and #AirQuality.
#Meteorology #AtmosphericScience
Let's see what this platform will bring.
