Pour one out for science, the hurt of learning from failure, and the ghost of Landsat-6. Condolences to the #ALOS3 team and my SAR science colleagues: I wish I could buy you a beer.

Indonesia is aiming to restore 600,000 ha of mangroves by the end of next year, but a new countrywide map says just one-third of that land is suitable for restoration. What now? My latest for Mongabay news.mongabay.com/2023/03/indone…

STRI has new funding from NSF RaMP-UP for a 1-year program for recent US graduates, especially those from groups historically underrepresented in STEM to gain research experience. Selected fellows receive a $32K stipend, in addition to roundtrip airfare and housing.

A little over a year ago #EarthEngine added `coveringGrid` functions for geometry objects. It's a helpful function for creating fishnet cell grids over geometries. Here is a zonal stats example – max #Landsat band value per 20 km cell: code.earthengine.google.com/a6c1db8c145b4f…

📢GEDI lives on! 🛰🌳Now in hibernation mode, planned to come back online in late 2024 and carry on collecting data for the rest of the decade! So many people made this happen - thanks to NASA Earth and the community for all the support. I am one excited, grateful scientist. 🤓🍾

“Study designs that can capture phenomena operating at multiple spatial extents offer the most promise for understanding the effects of fragmentation and its underlying mechanisms”. Well done Robert Fletcher for leading this paper. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…

I mean best news article title ever, did Ralph anticipate a follow on happening GEDI? Must have.

Hey RSfolks any suggestions for best ways to find free high resolution imagery from the late 90s/early 2000s? My ideal world would be a server that hosts global IKONOS imagery #eochat

In the rush to decarbonize, we should ask our govts to first regulate the new low-C tech, to ensure sustainability. We can’t just look the other way and say, it’s for the greater good. Climate change is the future; unregulated mining is happening now. wapo.st/3W0pa3i

This is awesome—love a good experimental manipulation in the field!

Excellent opportunity for postdoc doing U.S. conservation science.
