NOAA’s hurricane hunter pilots (and Kermit The Frog hanging from the control panel) fly into Hurricane Melissa.

Extraordinary bravery, saving lives.

A few years ago, we visited the soil-survey archives of a region in Brazil. We digitised the data and began developing a framework for developing soil maps that accurately (pedologically) represent soil profiles in the tropics. The result is here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Reliable soil property maps are essential for environmental modeling, yet conventional mapping methods remain costly and time-consuming. We developed …

I just published Version 1.6. The main update is that the source data for CAMELS-AUS was upgraded to CAMELS-AUS v2. This means more basins (561 vs 222) and more recent streamflow data (2022 vs 2014).

What if you laid out all the meanders of a river along a straight line, so that you can break the river into straight-ish segments and fill arbitrary spaces? This is the Purus River in Brazil; you can see how it is getting wider and the meanders are getting larger in the downstream direction
