Kids nowadays get Chromebooks at college, MacBooks for uni, use Android or iOS on their phones and game on PlayStation 5 and Switch.

Windows is this legacy thing forced on them by old people in business.

I'll be at #IGARSS2025 this week with three posters:

A Moderate Resolution 3D Biome Structure Map of Australia at WEP1.PT on Wed 09:15

Comparing Satellite Derived Vegetation Products from Local to Continental to Global Scales – Australia’s Case at WEP2.PV on Wed 14:30

Enhancing Pastoral Condition Assessment Using Hyperspectral Data at FRP1.PF on Fri 09:15

Reach out if you want to catch up!

Reminder: my #LPS25 talk is tomorrow - literally the last talk of the conference.

But I promise it's going to be entertaining and you'll leave on a high note! Here's a sneak peak...

#RemoteSensing #LightPollution #Aotearoa #NewZealand #VIIRS_DNB #SuomiNPP #Night

The #Sentinel3 team also just mentioned offhand that Sentenel3-NG will support twilight and night observations!

#LPS25 #RemoteSensing #ALAN #LightPollution

🎙️ Our talk — “FOSS4G Observatory: an open initiative to support the long-term sustainability of open-source geospatial projects” — was presented today at #LPS25 🌍 🛰️

We’ll be ( @codrina , @vcraciunescu ) here, all week, in Vienna 🇦🇹 to:
💻 Sharing
📝 Learning
🤝 Connecting
✨ and Enjoying the energy of this #EO community.

Whether you are maintainers, contributors or just passionate about open geo, we’re always up for an exchange ideas, explore synergies, and build great things together 🌐

So tired of seeing those useless _MACOSX folders littered everywhere

We're all brave in our own ways. For example, I'll run an advanced geoprocessing tool without saving before hand. #Brave

Indian grasslands are threatened because they are misunderstood as "wastelands" - a colonial category that refers to their ability to produce revenue in an 18th century land tax system but is now taken by policy makers as synonymous with "degraded" land, thus making grasslands a target not only for conversion to agriculture, but also for plantation forestry and other forms of degradation. Fixing this will require undoing colonial mindsets https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/rec.13858

Fun fact: the MP3 file format is as old today as 8-track tapes were when MP3 was invented

Hey mappers! I finally took the leap and joined Mapstodon! Not that I posted much on Twitter, but that I generally didn't like the vibes on it anyways. Maybe I'll post more since this space feels more community driven 🤗

Here's a new #introduction from my from the new mapstodon.space instance:

I'm Josh Carlson. I'm a GIS Developer for Kendall County, Illinois, USA, where I manage our GIS portal and keep the tax maps up to date, among many other things.

We're an #esri org, but I like to push #QGIS, #PostGIS, and #OpenStreetMap whenever possible.

Outside of work, I map, knit, forage, fiddle with Python, read, cook, and cycle. I try my best to keep up with my wife and three young sons.

I only wear socks I knit.

Back in Oz and time for an updated #introduction!

G'day folks! My name is Kris. I'm an Aussie-American who relocated back to Sydney at the end of 2022 after a couple years in Europe.

I'm an old-school #blogger who's been interested in the #IndieWeb for a long time and finally moving in that direction. I've been running the @roalddahlfans website since 1996, so if you want to know anything about #RoaldDahl, consider me your expert. I also dabble in #knitting and #sewing, and my Instagram is full of #selfies and #food.

For my day job, I'm the Head of APAC DevRel for AWS. I love going to tech meetups, and I help run Sydney Tech Leaders. Looking forward to reconnecting with everyone now that I'm back!

So, I just drafted a #QuartoPub template for the GISRUK conference 🧑‍💻➡️📄

Anyone interested in #GIScience #datascience #reproducibility wants to give it a try and let me know how badly it does not work? 😅

It’s finally published!! Like, for real!!

The Elgar Handbook @sergerey and I edited on Spatial Analysis in the Social Sciences (or, SASS) has arrived! 🎉🎉 Couldn’t be prouder or more grateful for all the contributions and hard work that folks put in to make this a reality. ToC and details to come. Right now I’m just going to bask.

@geography #SpatialAnalysis #SocialSciences #GIS #Book #SASS

#introduction time! My name is Atticus Stovall.

I’m a Research Professor at #NASA Goddard and University of Maryland studying #trees, #forests, #carbon, #biodiversity, #ecosystems, #remotesensing, #lidar (working with GEDI), and so much more.

I ❤️ #scicomm, #3D #visualization, and #OpenScience.

Excited to meet and re-meet everyone!

Did you know the (e)Space & Fiction blog? Because if not, I am sure you will have interest for all its posts! Most of them are both in franch and in english

It is about relations between space and fiction (novels, movies, paintings, music, comics, art works …)

A lot of cover arts, so impossible at this time to display all of them in a same time.

Our team have just finished health checking and changing transmitters on #kakapo on Whenua Hou. With 91 kākāpō on the island, it involves a lot of work. Ranger and artist Sarah Little (https://www.instagram.com/sarahmaylittle/) explains the process! #conservation

Never thought Elon Musk would do so much for the adoption of a decentralised infrastructure…

Please Elon, can you buy Elsevier ?

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like it's gigantic and destroying the town.
