📣In our new paper we analyzed the impact of #Landsat and #Sentinel-2 🛰️ #satellite data density and SMA endmembers on trends in #grasslands ground cover:
- for monthly composites data density is irrelevant
- correct endmember definitions are critical‼️

A kind reminder to all @esa.int's #LPS25 attendees that today during the 𝐂.𝟎𝟓.𝟎𝟒 session at 𝟏𝟔:𝟏𝟓-𝟏𝟕:𝟒𝟓 (𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐋𝟏/𝐋𝟐) I will present on the global availability of usable Landsat and Sentinel-2 data and how it impacts feasibility of analyses.
Hope to see many of you in the audience!

📣Attending @esa.int's #LPS25 next week?
Make sure to catch the 𝐂.𝟎𝟓.𝟎𝟒 session (𝐓𝐮𝐞 𝟐𝟒𝐭𝐡 | 𝟏𝟔:𝟏𝟓-𝟏𝟕:𝟒𝟓 | 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐋𝟏/𝐋𝟐), during which I will talk about 🌍 global 🛰️ #Landsat and #Sentinel-2 data availability and how it shapes feasibility of long-term analyses.
See you in Vienna!

To celebrate the #ShowYourStripes Day a few places (or their approximations) i called home over the past years. (Sorry Madison WI, but you are not supported in the app :|)

it is scary... 🥵

🏴‍☠️ 'more than 250 million acres of public lands will be eligible to be sold to "any interested party."'
Another !brilliant idea to fund agenda of the current US administration.

Congress is making more than 250 million acres of public lands available for sale.
The Senate reconciliation package is a disturbing giveaway that will mandate the “disposal” of public lands across the western United States.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

A daunting document outlining, among others, the future of the #Landsat program. Only a bunch of troglodytes could call the Landsat Next 'unaffordable', especially when its budget is like a drop comparing to the US military expenses.

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”
Opinion | We Study Fascism at Yale. We’re Leaving the U.S.
The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.

With all the talk about #AI taking our jobs - i think we are fine for now. #Google's #Gemini will arrive to work on a wrong day of the week 😅

The EU flag has one major drawback—or feature: when flown upside down, it looks exactly the same as when flown correctly. 😅
