Biomass fully loaded: «Once launched and commissioned for its working life in orbit around Earth, this new ESA Earth Explorer mission will demonstrate how new technology can deliver crucial information about the state of our forests and how they are changing and, importantly, further our knowledge of the role forests play in the carbon cycle.» 🚀🛰️💚

#Drought, Lake #Constance and #Sentinel-2: Switzerland has experienced an exceptionally dry period, with Lake Constance’s water levels dropping to their lowest in decades due to little rainfall and snowmelt from the Alps. Recent Sentinel-2 #earthobservation / #remotesensing data and gauging station records reveal...

GIScience researcher Steffen Knoblauch has just returned from a research visit at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Cape Town 🇿🇦, where he built upon his PhD research at the intersection of geoinformatics and public health.

His work focused on integrating Earth Observation data with bioacoustics to monitor mosquitos and enhance dengue disease control.

A while back (around seven months ago) I posted an image of ISS (first image), but captured FROM ABOVE (higher orbit). This is the work of Aussie company HEO!

This type of work is really fascinating as things (like satellites) are all moving at high velocities up there (28,000 km/h) - so other things (like other satellites or space stations) zip past quickly. You would then need to 'de-zip' the object to make a crisp clear image.

Well, they've done it again.

This time, imaging the Chinese Space Station (second image) from a distance of 83 kilometres (resolution of 0.17 m/px) 🤯

This is really cool stuff. I promise.
