What a terrible article, no explanation of why MethaneSat went quiet, likely power loss. Time to build a constellation of these. Methane reduction is easy wins.

@EricFielding Eric Fielding, an earth scientist at JPL, wants to use that capability to detect earthquake motion previously obscured in heavily forested areas such as Indonesia and the Pacific Northwest. “That’s going to be a huge advantage,” he says.

Having used Copernicus and other systems for land mapping, this is so cool and such a leap ahead. I'm excited to see if I can use this for disaster assessment and recovery.
How that I have your attention I would like to exploit it for some work stuff. #RemoteSensing #ImageProcessing communities, I have a real quest. We're segmenting shallow underwarter structures in these archival aerial photos (grayscale, single-band) and the segmentation algorithm picks up... the waves on the water surface, not reefs and such. This gives an artefactual vergence (direction) that is not present in the layer we are interested in, i.e. sea floor. This is SVM in eCognition. Don't mention segmentation in ArcGIS (unless you're a powerful wizard, in that case I bow).
We also have a custom ML model but it's not that good either (yet?). How to get rid of them waves?! #geoscience #EarthObservation
I am excited to be mentioned in this post by Wyvern about my usage of their Open Data Program!

In order to fully understand how #LightPollution affects our world, we need to know how much of it is in which places. Divergent results from different measurement methods present some tension, but recent research suggests a way forward.

CALL FOR PAPERS
CAA #Danmark <https://dk.caa-international.org/> seminar 2026 afholdes tirsdag d. 17. marts @ Holstebro Museum i samarbejde med luftfotoarkæologisk Center.
Årets tema ønsker at sætte fokus på "fjerndetektering og ikke-destruktiv arkæologi":
- Hvilken metode og procedure er best-practice?
- Kan vi supplere eller erstatte fremgangsmetoden for at bedrive arkæologi?
- Er fjerndetektering og ikke-destruktiv arkæologi relevant i forbindelse med kapitel 8?

“The Canadian Hydrospatial Network (CHN) is a map-based dataset that includes Canada's lakes, rivers, watersheds and other water features and their connections to each other.
It's applications include: serving as a foundation for advanced hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, including for flooding and drought
supporting water and watershed management
providing essential base data for cartography…”
You can now explore six new regions …”
