Spatiotemporal Analysis Is 17,000 Years Old – Or Maybe More?

https://subscription.packtpub.com/book/programming/9781837639175/2/ch02lvl1sec05/history-of-geospatial-analysis <-- shared text

https://doi.org/10.1017/S0959774322000415 <-- shared paper

[Snow and Picquet were not first, as amazing as they were...]
“Geospatial analysis can be traced back as far as 17,000 years ago [or more], to the Lascaux cave in southwestern France. In this cave, Paleolithic artists painted commonly hunted animals and what many experts recently concluded are dots representing the animals’ lunar cycles to note seasonal behavior patterns of prey, such as mating or migration…”

photos - Examples of animal depictions associated with sequences of dots/lines. (a) Aurochs: Lascaux, late period; (b) Aurochs: La Pasiega, late; (c) Horse: Chauvet, late...; (d) Horse: Mayenne-Sciences, early; (e) Red Deer: Lascaux, late; (f) Salmon: Abri du Poisson, early; (g) Salmon (?): Pindal, late; (h) Mammoth: Pindal, early.

#WordWeavers 2404.01 — MC POV: Write a Mastodon introduction post.

#Introduction I'm really new to the #Mastodon thing, but Her Highness told me I had to do this and taught me how. Everyone at school calls me their "Wild Woman," thus my @WildWomanOfFellWoods handle. I'm becoming used to that because it's true. I've lived amongst #wolves since I was 7 with the Blue Feathers pack, so I'll be posting lots of #wolf spark renders, like the one of Mother Wolf below. (Read the ALT text.) She's the third white wolf in that role because people live longer. I #hunt with #knives, but am learning #archery because I'm not yet a provider for the pack. I can't run as fast as they can, so I use my #knife once they've brought down the prey. My #gift is befriending #beasts. I can speak with them and they become smarter. I'm not sure if the effect is just on those beasts I've met, or if it spreads. If you've noticed wolves being smarter or more friendly to people, please private message me! If you want to. Not trying to impose. This goes with red #dragons. I befriended the one all over the news who burnt up the farm—and, no, she wasn't going to burn up the capital! She sneezed. Next to a grain silo. 😅 Nevertheless, if another shows up and turns out friendly, let me know! Sorry. I don't have any #dragon pictures. You can ask me about dragons, though. I also do #modeling, so you've probably seen me in a magazine. Yeah. I'm that #model. I won't post pictures, though, because I'd have to CW. But you can ask about that. I'm #shy so I don't do meet ups.

How Melting Arctic Ice Leads To European Drought And Heatwaves

maps - Climatological mean (a) SST, (d) meridional winds at 700 hPa, (g) 2 m air temperature, and (j) precipitation minus evaporation in summer (May through to August). Regressions of (b, c) the SST (colour shading) and 700 hPa winds (arrows), (e, f) the meridional winds at 700 hPa, (h, i) the 2 m air temperature, and (k, l) the accumulated precipitation minus evaporation on FE in (b, e, g, k) the first and (c, f, h, l) the second summer (May through to August) after the freshwater anomalies (indicated by the “+1” and “+2” in the titles). We removed large-scale trends from the air temperature to reduce the direct warming effect of greenhouse gases (Sect. 2), and we excluded the anomaly in 2016 since it exhibited a different spatial SST distribution from the other anomalies (Fig. A1). Thick contours encompass regions that are significant at the 95 % confidence level, and the red and blue dotted lines in (b) and (c) delineate the regions in which the SST anomalies exceed 2 ∘C and fall below −2 ∘C.

maps and charts - (a) Atmospheric river (AR) characteristics, including duration, interval, area, and intensity during the DJF globally. The central plot displays the increase in AR frequency between the far-future (SSP585; 2070–2099) and the historical (1980–2009) periods, with the climatological AR frequency in the historical period represented by the contours. Black dots indicate unanimous frequency changes among CMIP6 models. The red rectangles are the boundaries of the target regions and the black hatches are the selected land regions. The surrounding plots show 2D Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) maps for AR characteristics over the historical period and far-future under different scenarios displayed in the bottom right corner for eight regions. The univariate distributions of the characteristics are shown on the outer axes of each subplot. (b) The comparison of the KDE maps for three selected regions with ARs detected with GuanWaliser_v2 and Mundhenk_v3 AR detection tools (ARDTs). Note that only the SSP585 scenario is available for the far-future period in these two data sets. The legend is the same as in Panel (a). Note that the figures of PanLu ARDT are presented based on daily scale data sets, while the figures of GuanWaliser_v2 and Mundhenk_v3 ARDTs are presented on 6-hourly scale data sets due to data accessibility.

aerial images - High-resolution images from the Planet Labs constellation of cube-sats detect flowering individual trees in the Peruvian Amazon (yellow objects in panel A) and Colombian Amazon (pink objects in panel B). Many thousands of flowering individuals are apparent across hundreds of kilometers of Amazonian forest in these flowering events. Scale bar = 500 m.
aerial and oblique remotesensing-created images - Drone remote sensing of individual trees. (A) Ultra-high-density drone lidar resolves individual tree structure in a temperate beech forest in the southern Czech Republic. Colors indicate elevation, and the tallest trees are about 40 m aboveground. Measurement density here is 4323 points per square meter. (B) High-spatial resolution optical remote sensing from a low-altitude drone in the Atlantic lowlands of Costa Rica. We used methods from computer vision to construct three-dimensional scene geometry from two-dimensional images. The image is a natural color composite. (C) Same area as B, but colored by surface elevation, where warmer colors indicate taller objects. A single Goethalsia meiantha crown is outlined in white. The area of this crown is 157.3 m2. At a pixel size of 1 cm, this crown contains 1.573 × 106 pixels, demonstrating the tremendous increase in measurement density at high-spatial resolution. Scale bar in B and C = 30 m.

The price of Huggies diapers went up 6% between April- June 2023.

Inflation, right? Wrong.

Kimberly-Clark, the maker of Huggies, reported that the cost to make its products fell by $75 million.They took the money and ran, banking $168 million in operating profits in Q3 2023.

Now, new research shows that corporate profits drove 53% of inflation during the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2023. During the 40 years prior to the pandemic, profits drove just 11% of price growth.

photos - Former location of the Cascada San Rafael lava-dam waterfall and knickpoint on the Río Coca, viewed facing upstream. (a) Pre-collapse morphology of the waterfall, in 2012 (image from Ecuador Ministry of Tourism). Accommodation space upstream of the lava dam was filled with sediment. (b) The site was on 2 February 2020, shortly after a sinkhole (upstream of lava dam) captured the river. Dashed line shows the approximate location of the unconformable contact between the lava flow and underlying volcaniclastic avalanche deposits. (c) The site was on 22 February 2021 during the incipient collapse of the remaining arched edifice of the lava flow. (d) Later on 22 February 2021 after full collapse of the lava arch. (e) The site on 25 February 2021, shortly after the river overtopped and eroded through the debris dam. Photographs in (b) through (e) provided by the Corporacion Electrica del Ecuador.
map and chart - (a) Detailed map of the study reach (shown within box in Figure 1a), with river kilometres (rkm) shown referring to distance downstream of the Coca Codo Sinclair (CCS) dam and diversion intake. (b) Subsurface geologic cross-section of the study reached from rkm 0 to 22 (annotated using field observations of the authors and borehole information from INECEL [Instituto Ecuatoriano de Electrificacion], 1992). Dashed line shows the riverbed profile as of 2 December 2022, 1,034 days after the failure of the Cascada San Rafael knickpoint. Prior to the loss of the knickpoint in February 2020, the accommodation space upstream of the Cascada San Rafael had entirely filled with sediment. Geologic units are abbreviated as volcaniclastic breccia (Br), cohesive volcaniclastic avalanche deposits (CoAv), loose volcaniclastic avalanche deposits (LoAv), ancient alluvial deposits (All), lacustrine sediments (Lac), debris-flow deposits (Deb, a thin deposit around rkm 8–8.5). Lava flow, recent alluvial deposits and Mesozoic bedrock are also shown.

SLEPLET: Slepian Scale-Discretised Wavelets in Python

Do you identify yourself with a broad field of simulations and modeling? Do you design tools, or model processes in spherical (or manifold) settings? Do you love #Python ?

You are probably the right person to review the SLEPLET package for @pyOpenSci ! I'm looking for reviewers who are potential users at the same time :)
