Remote sensing began not with high tech, but with high altitude—courtesy of a hot-air balloon in 1858. No image survives, but we owe that airborne moment a lifetime of geospatial progress. #GeoTrivia #CERSGIS #AerialOrigins

Forests don’t scream when they’re damaged GIS hears the whispers. We use satellite data to detect early signs of forest degradation. Need geospatial support? From mapping to monitoring, CERSGIS delivers. #GIS #ForestMonitoring #CERSGIS #RemoteSensing #QuoteTweet #XThoughts

🌱 Did you know satellites can “see” crop health? Using NDVI, they track vegetation with infrared imagery. Farmers see fields. Satellites see science. 🛰️ #AgriTech #NDVI #RemoteSensing #CERSGIS #GIS #SmartFarming #QuoteTweet #XThoughts #WisdomTuesday

Charcoal production leaves detectable heat signatures! Researchers use thermal sensors to track deforestation hotspots from space. Let’s spread awareness and protect our forests! #Sustainability #GIS #Deforestation #forestrycommission #geospatialintelligence #spatialanalysis

Last Friday, we engaged AGISS students on wetlands under the #GMESAndAfrica project. Next up: launching the first GIS Club in a senior high school right here at AGISS to build geospatial skills for solving real-world challenges. This is just the beginning! #AGISS #GMESAndAfrica

With satellite data + GIS, we can “time travel” through land change! Forests into cities. Wetlands into malls. It’s Earth’s diary written by satellites. #GIS #LULC #RemoteSensing #geospatial #CERSGIS

John Snow (not the Thrones one) mapped a cholera outbreak in 1854 & traced it to one water pump. His map saved lives & sparked the birth of spatial analysis. That’s proto-GIS! #GIS #JohnSnow #PublicHealth #MapPower #CERSGIS

Satellites don't just take pretty pictures—they help us grow food, track floods, and plan cities. CERSGIS is using geospatial tools to shape Ghana’s tomorrow. #GeoFacts #CERSGIS #GIS #RemoteSensing #DataDrivenDevelopment #NASA #epa

Since 1972, #Landsat has shown us a changing Earth—glaciers melting, cities expanding, forests shifting. It’s the longest-running Earth observation program, and it still powers smart decisions today. #CERSGIS #RemoteSensing #EarthObservation #GeoFacts #NASA

Who really drives cocoa farming in Ghana? From gender and age to household size, the story of cocoa goes beyond the cocoa beans. It’s about people, families, and their livelihoods. Explore the full dataset for deeper insights [zenodo.org/records/165794…] #CocoaMapping #kobocollect

Behind every cocoa bean is a farmer, and behind every farmer is a family. Data reveals the health and wellbeing support they have and the gaps that remain. Explore 👉 zenodo.org/records/165794… Blog 👉 cersgis.org/news/?blog_id=… #CocoaMapping #OpenData
