Deep into a Google Earth Engine coding session 🌐 @EarthOutreach @googleearth
☁ Highlight from day 1 of Global Dialogue: using cloud-based spatial frameworks for #OceanAccounting
During training, participants were introduced used cloud-based remote sensing and GIS tools to map and account for coastal ecosystems.

Our new maps show coral reefs are more extensive than we thought, write @mitchest @stuartphinn (@UQ_news).

UQ-led research has shown there's more coral reef area across the globe than previously thought, with satellite mapping helping to conserve these vital ecosystems 🌊🛰️

Finally the main @AllenCoralAtlas paper is out! The paper acts as a scientific reference and summary of the ACA, including global reef extent, and the distribution of benthic and geomorphic class. Congratulations to paper lead @mitchest and the ACA team. doi.org/10.1016/j.crsus.2024…

@mitchest discusses the methods behind the development of the @AllenCoralAtlas including the fact that the team used over 2.25 million satellite images! 🛰🌏🪸🐠
Mind blown! 🤯 it’s incredible that we have sufficient compute to be able to achieve this! #AEO22

As you might have gathered, I'm a little fired up about the Essendon FC situation right now. Here's a few more thoughts about THAT video the club released on Monday, another spectacular misreading of the mood of the fan base.

Researchers analysed more than one-million satellite images to find 4,000km2 of tidal #wetlands have been lost globally over 20yrs
Co-author @WalthamNathan said loss on the GBR was a major concern & restoration was a big task.

After some requests, I wrote some more words for @shot_au including the invention of a new term for Scott Morrison's pressers and announcements - worderrhoea.
This one is about as snarked-out as I've ever been.
