🌍 New paper on key challenges in spatial machine learning! We discuss six major topics shaping the field: model validation, performance metrics, uncertainty quantification, algorithmic diversity, software implementation, and modeling protocols. www.erdkunde.uni-bonn.de/article/view... #SpatialML

The first #ESA #BIOMASS image was revealed at #LPS25 yesterday. You can find a few more images (like the one attached showing desert structures in Chad) as well as additional information in this article: www.esa.int/Applications...

🆕 The first stunning images from our groundbreaking #Biomass satellite mission have been released – they mark a major leap forward in our ability to understand how Earth’s forests are changing and exactly how they contribute to the global carbon cycle 🌳🌍 www.esa.int/Applications...

This image features part of Bolivia. This vibrant image was created using the radar instrument’s different polarisation channels, with each colour revealing distinct characteristics of the landscape. For instance, green hues mainly represent rainforest, red hues forested floodplains and wetlands, and blue–purple is indicative of grasslands, while black areas are rivers and lakes. The image spans approximately 90 km along the Biomass satellite's flight path (length) and 60 km across in width, with north oriented to the right.

Per their request, we decided to go for it. I changed the title to "The strain on antioxidant publishing" and did a bunch of ctrl find+replace for words like "publisher" with "gut niche" and just sent it back. Find the paper here: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/... 1/3

Some more good news for the Sentinel-2 mission! Sentinel-2A, which recently retired, has been given a temporary extension, where it will support S2B and S2C to provide additional data. Lots of hard work behind the scenes to make this happen. Glad to see it! sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel...

DC SAR @insarcnes.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

First image taken by ESA Sentinel-1 C SAR radar over the svalbard /spitzberg. It was time ! S1A is in end of life and S1B is dead. The avantage of SAR is that it doesn't care if it is day or night or if there are clouds.

A new #Sentinel-1 satellite has already been launched in our office today and is now in orbit around the Christmas tree. Hopefully the Sentinel-1C launch is going to be just as successful tonight! 🛰️ #EarthObservation #remotesensing #EOChat #ESA #Copernicus

🌐 Did you know? “Desert” “rainforest” “tundra” “grassland” or “savanna” are widely used terms in common language, but each have multiple definitions and no universally accepted spatial distribution. Find out more in our recent paper 👉 doi.org/10.1002/ecm.... #biome #ecology #biogeography

Figure 4 from Champreux et al. (2024, Ecological Monographs)

To the right: a map of the world with shades of purple and yellow showing that the rate of agreement among terrestrial biome maps is higher in equatorial forests and tropical deserts

To the left: a graph aligned with the map showing that the average agreement by latitude among biome maps is higher on the Equator and the two Tropics

Interested in machine learning in science? Timo and I recently published a book, and even if you are not a scientist, you'll find useful overviews of topics like causality and robustness. The best part is that you can read it for free: ml-science-book.com

Data preparation! It's crucial for machine learning, and we all hate it. Tools and techniques to reduce this burden? A talk summarizing of 10 years of R&D on this, from cheap tricks to LLMs and graph neural networks www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU_W... Entertaining and interesting, I hope
