While learning GIS, you often don't fully see the solution until you start building it. Whether it's a new web map, a spatial model or a field data app, clarity comes from doing, not just planning. Start messy. Start anyway. Thinking of building a wildfire risk map? Don't

"Speak softly and carry a big stick" works if the Communicatee is wise enough to realise what the big stick is for! Failing that, express anger to the Lackwits whilst swinging the stick. If still the Target misunderstands, use the stick for purpose to demonstrate the meaning.

Don't be the person or group that somehow transitions from communicatee -> lackwit -> target.

Integrity - the quality of being honest & adhering to strong moral & ethical principles. It's about being true to oneself and one's values, even when faced with challenges. It's consistency between a person's beliefs & actions and their commitment to doing what's right. #ethics

When weather conditions are unfavorable for piloting drones, MEP rangers turn to an original human-elephant conflict mitigation tool—firecrackers! Loud, but safe to wildlife, this tool recently helped move 40 elephants out of a livestock area to safety.

I had the privilege to facilitate the #YouthMappers training on flood damage assessment using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) in Google Earth Engine (GEE). 🌍🛰️ Here’s a quick recap of what we covered 👇

We started with the basics: 🔹 Active (SAR) vs Passive (optical) sensing 🔹 Why SAR matters → all-weather, day/night imaging, flood detection even under clouds 🔹 Challenges → speckle noise & complex interpretation Credit: APPLIED REMOTE SENSING TRAINING PROGRAM #ARSET

Our flood mapping workflow in GEE included: ✅ Defining the area of interest (Garissa, Kenya) ✅ Selecting pre- & post-flood Sentinel-1 SAR images ✅ Speckle filtering to reduce noise ✅ Image differencing to extract flood extent ✅ Refining results with slope thresholding

For impact assessment, we demonstrated: 🌾 Mapping affected croplands using #ESRI World Cover 2024 🏠 Identifying impacted structures with Google Open Buildings ⚙️ Vector-raster overlay to estimate flood impact on people & livelihoods
