Just a regular reminder: the ArcticDEM is one of the most beautiful spatial datasets out there. I've been working on a large tile set for our #arctic abrupt thaw mapping activities recently and I can't help but stop and take a peek as the data rolls in.

In case you missed my AGU poster yesterday!

Variability in ground motion from rapid ice-wedge degradation appears to produce a closure signature in spaceborne InSAR data

It took moving away from Alaska to see brilliant reds like this β€” Ithaca NY

I’m glad I’m not crazy β€” I thought I could smell smoke this morning! It just seems wrong for November

I haven’t touched Google earth in so long but the UAVSAR kmzs are actually a super easy and neat way of viewing interferograms on top of topography!
