It looks like I will probably be able to offer a funded PhD position in #RemoteSensing using nighttime lights this fall. If you are interested yourself, or if you know someone who might be interested, please direct them to contact me.

Use #SNAP with #Python the simple way
Just a few simple lines of code to setup and execute a graph.
Stay tuned for more information.

New work by the PhenoCam team led by Mostafa Javadian and others at Northern Arizona University and myself at BlueGreen Labs (providing much of the open source configuration software). This short-communication describes the stability of the new recommended phenocam hardware in respect to the previous cameras.

@ajggeoger On the nerd side: software not dumping float32 rasters into GPU textures and insisting on doing CPU stuff.
On anything else, I refer to @ianturton 's magnificent "your geoportal sucks" lecture.

New R package: rgeomorphon 
by Andrew Brown
Classifies terrain forms using a parallel C++ implementation of the geomorphon algorithm.
EOMasters Toolbox Pro 1.4.2 ist out!
Changes
* S2 Super-Resolve: Other bands option leads to exception
* The Theia link in the help of the S2 super-resolution operator is not valid anymore
* Issue activating EOMTBX Pro
* AsterProductReaderPlugIn still prevented usage of gpt.
* SPEX DB updated to reflect changes in Awesome Spectral Indices DB v0.7. New Indices

What a terrible article, no explanation of why MethaneSat went quiet, likely power loss. Time to build a constellation of these. Methane reduction is easy wins.

phys.orgMethaneSat: The climate spy satellite that went quietSatellites circling Earth have many different functions, including navigation, communications and Earth observation. About 8%–10% of all active satellites are military or "dual use" serving intelligence or reconnaissance functions as spy satellites.
It’s almost like remote sensing data benefits from direct observation and calibration!? Nah that’s silly talk. #science #calval #remotesensing

How that I have your attention 
I would like to exploit it for some work stuff. #RemoteSensing #ImageProcessing communities, I have a real quest. We're segmenting shallow underwarter structures in these archival aerial photos (grayscale, single-band) and the segmentation algorithm picks up... the waves on the water surface, not reefs and such. This gives an artefactual vergence (direction) that is not present in the layer we are interested in, i.e. sea floor. This is SVM in eCognition. Don't mention segmentation in ArcGIS (unless you're a powerful wizard, in that case I bow).
We also have a custom ML model but it's not that good either (yet?). How to get rid of them waves?! #geoscience #EarthObservation

CALL FOR PAPERS
CAA #Danmark <https://dk.caa-international.org/> seminar 2026 afholdes tirsdag d. 17. marts @ Holstebro Museum i samarbejde med luftfotoarkæologisk Center.
Årets tema ønsker at sætte fokus på "fjerndetektering og ikke-destruktiv arkæologi":
- Hvilken metode og procedure er best-practice?
- Kan vi supplere eller erstatte fremgangsmetoden for at bedrive arkæologi?
- Er fjerndetektering og ikke-destruktiv arkæologi relevant i forbindelse med kapitel 8?
