Ahem . . . After some requests, I wrote some more words for The Shot 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. (feedback always welcome) 🙏🏽 theshot.net.au/general-news/s…

New paper out today in Science Magazine: we developed an EO monitoring system to detect the type and timing losses and gains of tidal wetlands globally - tidal marsh, tidal flats and mangroves Google Earth Outreach USGS Landsat NASA Landsat science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Researchers analysed more than one-million satellite images to find 4,000km2 of tidal #wetlands have been lost globally over 20yrs Co-author A/Prof Nathan Waltham said loss on the GBR was a major concern & restoration was a big task. 🔗 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 📰 tropwater.com/news/dramatic-…

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.

Mitchell Lyons discusses the methods behind the development of the Allen Coral Atlas, powered by ASU 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

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 🌊🛰️ 🔗brnw.ch/21wGWQq UQ Science Mitchell Lyons @chrisroelfsema

Finally the main Allen Coral Atlas, powered by ASU 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 Mitchell Lyons and the ACA team. doi.org/10.1016/j.crsu…

Our new maps show coral reefs are more extensive than we thought, write Mitchell Lyons + Stuart Phinn (@UQ_news). theconversation.com/the-worlds-cor…
