Scientific figuring with three panels. Left panel shows a map of the Everglades in Florida overlaid with data from the SWOT mission. It shows very detailed water level data throughout the everglades. The second panel, in the upper right, is a scatterplot showing in situ gauge water level against SWOT water level. It shows a mean absolute error of 6.7 cm, a correlation coefficient of 0.996, and a mean bias of 6.8 cm. The third figure, a scatterplot in the lower right, shows that by averaging 30 or more SWOT pixels, high accuracy is possible.

Are water levels in wetlands important to you? @kica22.bsky.social's new paper in GRL shows that the SWOT satellite can measure water surface elevations in the Everglades with a mean absolute error of 6.7 cm. Check it out! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

What is the Vision for Geospatial? Linda Stevens is founder of the consultancy Spatial Spirits. She is also a veteran of Esri, where she was Chief Marketing Officer and its first female board member. This is the second episode of a mul...

Maps need to be animated. This maps onto a theme from an episode with @lindastevens.bsky.social, where vision was discussed:

I struggled to appreciate it at the time, but Linda spent a lot of time talking about what the earth actually is.

Tonight was one of those nights… Basically everybody working on this Earth-system data thing was in the same room at the same time, sharing their best ideas. It was kind of magical. Thanks @developmentseed.org for co-hosting. ❤️ #AGU24

Today at #AGU24, we'll share SWOTViz, a web-based tool that simplifies accessing and working with hydrology data from #NASA Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission (SWOT), making these datasets more accessible to researchers and the public worldwide.

Learn how open source software, tools and data are advancing open science in a very tangible way.

The VEDA open science platform has reached a new level of maturity, which you can learn about through the various sessions & posters from us and our partners at NASA IMPACT. #AGU24

And for fun we're co-hosting a social with our friends at @earthmoverhq.bsky.social.
Come for the cheeky custom drink names (had too much fun with those) and stay for the great conversations 🤠
