Cuts are:
- research: 75%
- fisheries: 33%
- satellites: 44%
Overall, 25%

Surveying Lake Titicaca [2024]

[A very comprehensive hydrographic and shallow geophysical study and mapping effort of Lake Titicaca…]
“In October 2024, officers from the Category “A” Specialization Programme in Hydrography for Naval Officers of the Peruvian Navy conducted their complex multidisciplinary field project at Lake Titicaca at Puno in Peru, which is the highest navigable lake in the world (3,800 metres above sea level). The purpose of this survey was to address issues in the lacustrine environment due to hydrological processes that have occurred in recent years in this water body.…”

That’s a wrap! The 2nd EnMAP User Workshop brought 3 packed days of talks, posters & hands-on tutorials —exploring how EnMAP data supports research on vegetation, water, soil & atmosphere.
Highlights included hands-on tutorials, lively garden chats, and an exclusive look behind the scenes at @DLR & #ohb
Thanks to all who joined, shared, and inspired! #EnMAP #RemoteSensing #EarthObservation #Geography #Hyperspectral #DLR #LMU #CHIME #EnvironmentalScience #research #science #news
small wins: getting airspace clearance for survey flights over Sydney (Australia) on cloud-free days

Just got reminded that 10 years ago I was doing brand new science: superpixel segmentation / classification of 50mp aerial imagery of sea ice using Python, evolving from work I did for this paper: https://doi.org/10.1029/2011JC006961
This is a TLDR of the presentation I did at #foss4g in Belém, last year.
