Last night was a thrilling evening on #CapitolHill celebrating #Landsat50 with @NASA Earth Science Director @KarenStG and @AsstSecTrujillo!
@LadiesOfLandsat were able to share their research with congressional staff & promote the next 50 years of #Landsat and #WomenInSTEM!

I’m excited to be in Monterey this week at @geoworldmedia GeoBuiz 2024!
Today I’ll be speaking on how we break down barriers to get from #imagery to insight during a deep dive into #EO in #GIS & #geospatial applications. Should be a great discussion w/ fellow speakers! 🛰️🗺️💡

As a true millennial, I'm also trying something new this year: using Instagram to show what’s happening live (I have to keep up with @deepseadawn and @John_M_Nelson!). If you want an easy way keep up-to-date you can find my new work account here: instagram.com/docpixelpower

Congratulations to @igoroga as this is so well deserved! On top of his science, Igor has been a kind and patient colleague in @geoaquawatch (and journal editor at @FrontRSens!) with me this year and I’m so grateful. Many cheers 🥳

Congratulations to @geoaquawatch's own Dr. Igor Ogashawara @igoroga of @LeibnizIGB for winning GEO's Emerging Leaders Award. Igor is truly deserving of this honor because he's an EO water quality dynamo! This award is new this year and the ceremony was tonight in CapeTown SA.

From an innovative idea💡to create a government center that stored & analyzed original #Landsat data to help solve 🌍 problems before we even had the technology to digitize it to now housing 73 petabytes of data, it’s a privilege to be a small part of @USGS_EROS history!
