NEW from NOAA SOS: This dataset shows the tsunami wave caused by the asteroid that hit Earth 66 million years ago. The wave was so impressive because the asteroid is estimated to have been 6+ miles (10+ km) in diameter!

Still no froggy action in my local hotspots in Wicklow, like this perfect shallow roadside pool.
Altitude and/or cooler microclimates all dictate when local amphibian populations will start to wake up and breed. Shouldn't be too long now though.
Thermometer is creeping up. ๐Ÿธ

Out looking at a potential peatland restoration site in Antrim yesterday in probably the best weather weโ€™ve had this year! Plenty of hags and bare peat but some great habitat about too! @[email protected] @[email protected] #peatlands

Aside from the biodiversity on bogs a major reason we need to protect them from being drained for industrial forestry, agriculture, burning or horticultural peat is the amount of greenhouse gasses they store. Both co2 but also methane
80 times more warming potential than co2

Working hard on revising our first manuscript looking at mapping coastal dune habitats with UAV data and Machine Learning. Hopefully it will be published soon. Keep an eye on here. @[email protected] @[email protected]

Carbon's dangerous dance with oxygen. Too many ecosystems are emitting GHGs. Practices previously considered โ€˜land improvement' - clearing scrub, drainage, ploughing & fertilisation, degrade carbon stores. We need carbon & nature smart land use. https://www.irishtimes.com/science/2023/01/26/carbons-dangerous-dance-with-oxygen/

This is one reason limiting warming to no more than 1.5ยฐC matters - the chances of activating tipping points in the climate system increases over 70%. https://www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/latest-news/overshooting-climate-targets-could-significantly-increase-risk-for-tipping-cascades

Overshooting climate targets could significantly increase risk for tipping cascades โ€” Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research

12/22/2022 - Temporarily overshooting the climate targets of 1.5-2 degrees Celsius could increase the tipping risk of several Earth system elements by more than 70 percent compared to keeping global warming in line with the United Nations Paris Agreement range, a new risk analysis study by an international team of researchers shows. This tipping risk increases even if in the longer term the global temperature would stabilize within the Paris range. Avoiding an overshoot would hence limit the risks, the researchers conclude.

Wow, just came across this dataset on #EarthEngine, seems like a game changer for historic land change monitoring?

This collection contains precomputed results from running the Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC) algorithm on 20 years of Landsat surface reflectance data. CCDC is a break-point finding algorithm that uses harmonic fitting with a dynamic RMSE threshold to detect breakpoints in time-series data. The dataset was created from the โ€ฆ
