On Sol 1168 the rover moved to RMC 52.5032 across the ancient riverbed and stopped a few meters away from a light colored layer of rock at the foot of the northern bank, which appears to be the same layer with that of Bright Angel.
¹"the bacon strip": unofficial name for a light colored layer of rock back at the Three Forks area.
Join us tomorrow, Friday May 31 at #QGIS Open Day where we’ll demonstrate the ‘Add to Felt’ plugin & answer all your burning questions about Felt & sharing maps on the web.
We’re delighted to announce continued flagship-level sustaining membership of QGIS from @felt. Felt’s contributions enable us to continuously improve QGIS’ functionality, documentation, and infrastructure.
Felt continues to enhance the 'Add to Felt' plugin, making it seamless to get #QGIS maps on the web. With @northroadgeo's help, their recent release includes raster data support & improved compatibility between QGIS & #Felt styles!
This Memorial Day added an interesting twist to the daily grind of #Perseverance 🙂 Not only did it clear the rest of the rego-ripples it had to the north, but took advantage of the holiday to go on a picnic at a nice hill to the northeast 😀 🙃. Apparently the hill has a geological story to tell and the team's geologists are eager to hear it.
Linux, Windows and Mac packages of new #QGIS release 3.36.3 "Maidenhead" and point release 3.34.7 "Prizren" (LTR) ready on https://qgis.org/. Make maps not war!
New location for #Perseverance on Sol 1156, after a rather short ~16m drive downhill, which brought the rover 2m lower, to RMC 52.2750. There is now a ~10m remaining vertical distance to be covered to the bottom of the riverbank and onto the ancient riverbed of Neretva Vallis.
TRAINING ALERT!
'Visualising Meteorological Data with QGIS'
Don't miss this 2-day hands on session hosted by @lutraconsulting and #thrivegeo on 27-28 June and learn how to use the latest tools for meteorological data in QGIS!
New Trajectools 2.1 and MovingPandas 0.18 releases
Today marks the 2.1 release of #Trajectools for #QGIS. This release adds multiple new algorithms and improvements. Since some improvements involve upstream #MovingPandas functionality, I recommend to also update MovingPandas while you're at it.
So I received some random email from the USGS correcting a link on my website...which was on a QGIS tutorial.....then I received an email from the person that initiated the it all. That made me happy - I needed that today. I put tutorials up because I may die one day and people need to know parts of what's stuck in my head. Not everything - just parts. #qgis
With @merginmaps you can use Position Tracking and Streaming Mode when you're mapping in the field. This video that I made for the #MerginMaps YouTube channel explains the difference and shows how to digitize survey line and polygon layers using streaming mode: https://youtu.be/069-fXNqyJY?si=ao9VzU9a92jb9I5v
It also has some nice shots of the Kinderdijk UNESCO World Heritage Site!
