2026 William T. Pecora Award Nominations Now Being Accepted
The William T. Pecora Award is presented annually to individuals or teams using satellite or aerial remote sensing that make outstanding contributions toward understanding the Earth (land, oceans, and air), educating the next generation of scientists, informing decision-makers, or supporting natural or human-induced disaster response. Both national and international nominations are welcome.

EugeneSaturday Data Dive: Mapping Calgary’s Thermal Fingerprint 🛰️📊
Spent some quality time with GEE, R and Landsat-8/9 data today.
I’ve just finished processing a Median Land Surface Temperature (LST) model for Calgary, covering the entire Summer of 2025. This isn't just a single-day snapshot—it’s a robust composite of many satellite scenes, filtered to show the true intra-urban thermal zones.
Quick Takeaways:
🔹 Surface temperature in some busines area and "heat traps" peaked at over 51.3°C.
🔹 The contrast between our "Cool Islands" and "Extreme Heat Zones" is striking.
🔹 This automated workflow in R allows for a granular look at urban climate resilience that standard reports often miss.
I’m currently finalizing a full breakdown and a community-by-community analysis.
Stay tuned—the detailed article is coming soon!

HagollEOI just figured out that #Sentinel2 overtook #Landsat in 2024 for the yearly amount of published scientific papers, at least according to the #OpenAlex database. #Sentinel2 is still far behind concerning the total number of papers, but it is still a remarkable achievement for #Copenicus and @esa
