Figured out how to detect destroyed/collapsed buildings using the Sentinel-1 satellite. However, it's mirror image. Not sure how that is useful to me, personally, but, interesting to do--can highlight buildings damaged/destroyed by earthquakes and war. #IsraelGazaWar#gis#mapping#remotesensing#osint
“On October 11, 1923, a steel bulk freighter called the Huronton sank while making its way across Lake Superior. Now, a century later, researchers have located the shipwreck in an 800-foot-deep hole in the lake floor.
The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society announced the find last week on the 100th anniversary of the ship’s sinking…
Researchers with the historical society discovered the Huronton’s wreckage in Lake Superior this summer. Aboard the R/V David Boyd, they were using side-scan sonar to systematically search for wrecks.." #GIS#spatial#mapping#remotesensing#sonar#sidescansonar#ROV#underwater#shipwreck#historic#LakeSuperior#GreatLakes#archaeology#shipping#transportation#lake#USA#wreck#Huronton#bulldog#sailors

Every now and again I pan slightly further north when looking at the visual spectrum images, just to check if there is a Kármán vortex street by Jan Mayen. This one was acquired by #sentinel3 on the 28th of September 😍
This establishes for the first time that the flux of artificial light at street level is correlated with observations from space. That's not actually surprising, but it's an important step in establishing whether or not light measured from space is correlated with human exposure to light. #LightPollution#RemoteSensing
Digital projects by local companies of regional and supraregional importance are supported by the State of Tyrol as part of the "Lighthouse Projects in the Field of Digitization" funding program. One of these is the "AlpsWatch" project by the Tyrolean Mountain Guides Association, the Österreichischen Kuratorium für alpine Sicherheit (ÖKAS) and the Department of Geography at the University of Innsbruck. The aim of the project is to make observations and experience values of trained mountain sports professionals (a "highly qualified crowd") usable with regard to possible dangers in the (high) alpine area. The integration of these data into existing systems for alpine natural hazard forecasting is intended to improve hazard forecasting in the (high) alpine region, which up to now has had little structural coverage. #naturalhazards#mountains#citizenscience#monitoring#remotesensing#geography@uniinnsbruckhttps://www.tirol.gv.at/meldungen/meldung/technologiefoerderungen/
