I was very confused for a moment there as a scientist and rugby referee.
Regardless, your point makes real sense in both contexts.

Wow! 🌨️🏞️🤯

I'm downloading REMA like crazy just in case...

The future is autonomy at scale. In science and war. No more single operator flying a small drone w short areal coverage. It won't be long before we use cheap swarms in formation. The challenge is programming (and deep learning) not hardware cost.

A 50% cut to Earth Sciences proposed 😞

Effective immediately, the PGC is no longer accepting new NSF-supported requests due to a lack of renewal funding. Current work is wrapping up. Please contact your NSF program officer if impacted. We’re grateful to have supported your polar research. Read our full statement at www.pgc.umn.edu

Congratulations to @esa.int on the launch of #biomass. Looking forward to some great new advances in #EarthObservation #remotesensing

Sentinel-1C launches tomorrow at 22:20 CET. S1-B died in 2021 in the middle of our field work 🙄

🤞🤞🤞

It just rained so hard my goretex jacket couldn't hold out. We're so wet that on the way home we happily waded across mires and weren't fussed at stream crossings.

Seasonal optimisation of drone‐based photogrammetry in a heterogeneous boreal landscape In this study we show how weather and flight parameters affect photogrammetric surveys from drones. Using a commercial (off-the-shelf) drone we surveyed a mixed boreal forest site in summer, autumn a...

Aaand that's why I need to refill the feeder so often. We live on the fifth floor btw.

Would be nice but I had to head back to Sthlm. Was only at UU for a couple of hours.
