Earth Observation Lab

@jakimowb.bsky.social presented the #EnMAP-Box and the EO Time Series Viewer at ESA #BiDS25 in Riga, Latvia.
Thanks to the QGIS API, these QGIS plugins allow for an integrated and interactive display of raster data, facilitating the creation of reference data for model training and validation.

Want to do a PhD in remote sensing? Interested in mountain forest ecosystems? Then apply for a PhD position in our lab! You will be part of the newly founded Centre for Forest Management in the Alps, working on scaling tree productivity from tree to landscape scale. Deadline 21st September.

Shupel and @hostertp.bsky.social discuss key findings and challenges of her PhD research, full video in the StoryMap - section Key Messages: arcg.is/1bG48K

Independent oversight crucial to Landsat Next

The #Landsat program is arguable THE most important satellite mission for ecology, land-system science and sustainability science (and many other fields). It must stay science-oriented. Open access is crucial.

Independent oversight crucial to Landsat Next | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Considering land use complexity and overlap is critical for sustainability planning. New paper led by Marie Pratzer - out in OneEarth:

#LPS25 was a fantastic experience but let´s take a step back and reflect on the potential (and the role) of commercial EO data providers in contributing to pressing #sustainability challenges. Here´s a short recap of arguments from the scientific community: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

A kind reminder to all @esa.int's #LPS25 attendees that today during the 𝐂.𝟎𝟓.𝟎𝟒 session at 𝟏𝟔:𝟏𝟓-𝟏𝟕:𝟒𝟓 (𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐋𝟏/𝐋𝟐) I will present on the global availability of usable Landsat and Sentinel-2 data and how it impacts feasibility of analyses.
Hope to see many of you in the audience!
