My daughter's first Substack post - In our modern world of "spiritual shopping," many of us are engaged in a restless search for belonging—a symptom of cultural homelessness in a society that commodifies meaning but offers no real home.

The #EUGW team had a blast at @esa.int's #LPS25 this week❗
We are grateful for the insightful discussions, new connections, and shared passion for #EO and land monitoring 🌱
A big thank you to everyone who attended our presentation, we appreciate your interest and enthusiasm 🌾

Some #ESA #sentinel2 data showing the floodwaters in the outback - this extract covers Noccundra and Thargominda in the north to the Queensland NSW border in the south.
MODIS water index showing the extent of the following in Western Queensland
The scale of the flooding in Western Queensland is phenomenal.
Here's a mosaic of MODIS TERRA imagery for 2025-04-04 with water extent in blue and a 600km scale bar for comparison.
No it's a 500 X 500km area about 1000km West of Brisbane. The western side of it is currently covered in flood waters so it was a bit hard to get out there for field work.
Satellite Time Series mapping of land condition indicators across southwest Queensland, Australia
I've been road-testing some #RemoteSensing #LandCondition indicators in #QLD:
🔴 RESTREND (decreasing groundcover relative to rainfall)
🟢 Annual vs Perennial grass (dominance of annuals)
🔵 Landscape Function Index (cover resilience)
Brighter colour combinations = reduced #LandscapeFunction
🚨The last chapter of my dissertation is FINALLY out after 5 years in the making! 👀
How does #AMP #grazing impact #soil organic #carbon in CA #rangelands? I collected 1440 soil samples across AMP + conventional ranches in CA to find out

Knowledge is never knowing the answer. It’s knowing the territory.
"Dollars in the dust: Is outback scrub really saving the planet?"
The Age newspaper uses drone and multi-temporal satellite imagery to visually tell a (paywalled) story about carbon dynamics in outback Australia.

Starting my posts here with a pretty (to me :) map of the first three PLS components of fractional cover time series against soil carbon plots, capturing the contrast between Mitchell Grass, Spinifex, and the Mount Isa Inlier. Next step: pump this through the brilliant www.pyshepseg.org library
