Existing #TerrestrialEcosystemModels generally overestimate the carbon uptake stability due to insufficient characterization of vegetation phenology and physiological processes.

Chinese satellite maker MinoSpace seeks $736 million in IPO

I'm currently looking for a way to bring together my experience with #SmoothedParticleHydroynamics and #remoteSensing, and as part of this process I also wrote a converter (in #Julia, because this has to fit within some existing code which I wrote in that language) that allows me to export satellite imagery as #VTK unstructured grids, so that I can visualize them in #ParaView

It feels weird because ParaView *really* isn't suited for #GIS work, but in this case it turns out to be The Right Tool For The Job™.

Finally finished some light engineering for a bioacoustic monitoring job this summer, within the context of an agro-ecology grant. Test rig is currently running in the garden with the others in storage. Still missing some odd bits (U-bolts seem hard to source).

I attended the EGU General Assembly 2026 🌍—the largest annual gathering of geoscientists in Europe with ~20,000 participants.

I presented my poster on remote sensing and forest ecosystems 🌲📡, introducing two new radar vegetation indices (RVVI & RSVI). These allow weekly, cloud-free monitoring of tree growth across Europe using reconstructed Near-Infrared of Vegetation.

It was an intense and highly rewarding week of science, exchange, and new connections.

I'm very thankful to the astronauts on the International Space Station for taking a series of photos of Chennai, India for me.

They used the lens I requested, but the longest exposure time they used was ~0.07 s, when I really need them to take a much longer exposure time (like 1s second).

I can totally imagine what's happening when the astronaut sees my request... "One second? That doesn't make sense, the image would overexposed and blurry. That can't be what they meant, but I'll take some good images for them with shorter exposure times." 🙃

Rinse and repeat... Anyway, it's always helpful to get images like this, and 0.07 s is the longest they've taken for me yet, so we'll see if we can do something with it!
