NEW paper brilliantly led by Thomas Pienkowski on some of the persistent challenges to deliver effective conservation at scale, with a wonderful group of collaborators.

Unintended consequences of OHS interventions for fishers driven by wider social and structural determinants of health. Solutions include co-design and coordination to combat 'regulatory overload'. New paper out this week... doi.org/10.1111/faf.12… @ExeterMarine Uni of Exeter's ESI

What's more important for your mapping mission - high detail or large area coverage? There's always a trade off! But rather than go with trial and error, here's an efficient way to work out what you need geonadir.com/optimal-drone-…

I will be giving a short talk today on how #EarthObservation can be used as a tool for #SustainableDevelopment. Drop by if you want to know more about our research and its applications.

Your research is still valuable even if you don't publish in the "top" academic journals.

Hi all! I've been so busy the past 1.5 years since my move to the middle east. Promise to post a bit more regularly about the #conservation research and work we are doing here :) #omancorals #gccplasticwaste #projectearthlings #gcc

I'm flying the banner for collaborative conservation in Oman, within our gap-plugging and pioneering conservation entity, Project Earthlings. I work alongside some incredible researchers, environmentalists and industry specialists. We are stronger, together OmanClimateWeek

Pupils at #downehousemuscat have been contributing in big ways to some of our research projects: Tagging litter in drone images for 50 Years of Litter on Skye and creating signs for our Project Earthlings X عمادة البحث العلمي project to see if child designed signs have an impact on littering. 🚯

Ok I'm trying this out!

This new 3D transformer VGGT is epic! (CVPR'25) 🔵 I just tried running it against 28 pics of my coral reef pictures (from GoPro) and in less than 15s got a 3D point cloud + camera positions ready. 🔵 Everything is end-to-end DL, no traditional SfM. Could instantly see all the

When you find the GIS layer you thought you accidentally deleted.

This is a useful compilation of social science resources for conservation researchers and practitioners, and an analysis of where gaps remain - take a look! Led by Diane Detoeuf, Emiel de Lange, Harriet Ibbett with many others conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/… SCB

Some days it’s massive creels and tyres. Other days, it’s heartbreak in miniature, like this tiny bay in the NW of Scotland. What we found was devastating: a shoreline blanketed in plastic confetti. Microplastics everywhere!

Here's one of my new projects I'm really excited about! I'm rather humbled to be invited to work on an innovative new programme for #mangrove education and #conservation, led by Earthna and other fantastic stakeholders and academics 💪🏼#projectearthlings #qatar

We’ve been named as 1st in the UK and 2nd in the world by QS QS World University Rankings! This recognises Imperial as one of the best places to study, research, work and grow. Thanks to everyone in our community for making this possible 💙 #QSWUR

Drone technology catches three morons in the Maldives, deliberately catching and finning sharks... Illegal activity. No doubt these guys will be ID'd and sentenced. Environment Maldives

Very humbled to have been part of the best team of academics I've ever come across. I hope I can impart some of that stardust on my current students 🌟 Thank you, again 🙏🏼 ZSL Science Loughborough University
