Cool! Remote imaging test subject found in the bushes! Will have to see if these are visible in Google Earth. Have been here for awhile. #RemoteImaging
Missing persons seearch at the Grand Canyon National Park.
On April 21, 2024, a vehicle belonging to Thomas L. Robison of Santa Fe, NM was found abandoned at Lees Ferry within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Thomas Robison, 58, is believed to have attempted to travel down the Colorado River with his small dog on a wooden raft.
Robison is described as a white male, 5’10” in height and 160 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes.
Anyone who may have seen Thomas Robison are asked to contact Grand Canyon Dispatch at 928-638-7805. A missing person investigation is on-going and no further information is available at this time.
Sentinel-2 satellite view of Lee's Ferry on 4-21-2024. (not high enough resolution to pick out a raft, person, or Corgi -- or even a Toyota Tacoma). #satellite#RemoteImaging
Orenburg, Russia on April 10, 2023 vs. April 11, 2024. Significant number of neighborhoods appear to have been built in a floodplain. (Sentinel-2 satellite) #flooding#russia#satellite#remoteimaging#disaster
It turns out I did have imaging for the find location. Likely here. Would have been tough as you have to do an A/B Google Earth 3D view to see any difference in the scene. Definitely would have required a ground search/confirmation of possible signatures. #SearchAndRescue#SAR#satellite#remoteimaging
Continuing to help another family with a missing family member (German tourist who was likely a victim of crime in South Africa -- but I believe, likely beaten or left for dead off a cliff back in early 2023). No idea if it will be helpful, but families hurt so much for some closure. Satellite imaging is relatively untapped in this area, so far. #RemoteImaging#MissingPerson#SearchAndRescue
"Thar Be Dragons" -- interesting wave patterns detected on Sentinel-1 satellite off the coast of California, December 30, 2023. You wonder what is causing those patterns... #RemoteImaging#satellite#sar#GiantPaw
Sentinel-1 view of Oceano Dunes on Thursday. Bright spots are metal/reflective vehicles (ie RVs or trucks). Dark is typically indicative of "wet", but some inland dune areas are showing as wet on the satellite; wondering if this is rain vs. waves. You can see the big swells offshore. #satellite#OceanoDunes#waves#RemoteImaging
