#EOchat: One of the things I'll always be fascinated by w/ #EarthEngine is the ability to rapidly pull wall-to-wall imagery from sources like #Landsat and use simple #ML to extract features like #LandCover. Kudos to the GEE team, b/c "no pixels were downloaded in the processing of this data." 😉

Yesterday's video looks at a recent very rare partial filling of Lake #Torrens, South Australia, followed by a look back to 1989 using #landsat of the only true filling and overtopping of the lake in the satellite record. #flood #LakeTorrens youtu.be/VA8-l5sGpLQ

Plot of the number of scientific papers published per year for Landsat in blue and Sentine-2 in orange. The number of articles increased sharply for Landsat in the 2010 years, but Sentinel2 increases even faster, although it started later. Landsat stopped progressing in the 2020, and Sentinel2 overtook in 2024.

I just figured out that #Sentinel2 overtook #Landsat in 2024, regarding the yearly amount of published scientific papers. We are still far behind concerning the total number of papers but it is still a remarkable achievement for #Copenicus and @esaearth.esa.int

#Landsat data is now available on Copernicus Browser! Additionally, AI is getting super-proficient with hacking evalscripts/custom scripts. Here are the result of more or less the prompt "make me a fire visualization in the style of the @pierremarkuse.bsky.social script based using the thermal band"

Big milestone today: I integrated my satellite-based water quality models into the web app I built. I can now view and interact with the models in one place. Shown here: chlorophyll-a in the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers.
