Getting real in wildfire country... I've already been dropped, but we're going to have to recon with this on some higher level as a society... it's not an option for people to just not live in these localities.

The BC River Forecast centre released their latest snow summary today, and it's grim:

🟦 snowpacks across the province are extremely low
🟦 65% of normal: lowest on record since 1970
🟦 time has basically run out for any snowpack recovery

Keynote from Steven Wofsy from Harvard University:

This talk will introduce MethaneSAT and MethaneAIR imaging spectrometers intended to observe methane emissions with the goal to provide actionable data to mitigate methane emissions.

I'm so excited for this!

I don’t like the government getting involved in this, but I have to say: You have an entitlement complex if you think it’s OK to regularly contact your employees anytime simply because you pay them. Full-time does not equal all the time.

Acting as if you own someone fully…

People being upset about free blue checks reminds me of when people were mad they got a free U2 album from Apple.

Yeah, I'm that old.

Severe water scarcity affects 4 billion people for at least one month each year. Over 2 billion live with inadequate water supply. We urgently need to rethink how we govern this vital common good.

Hey, team, downstream #EarthObservation analytics is still a complex, unsettled market. But patterns are emerging. This article is focused on the value chain from the downstream perspective.

A special addition to the NORTH51 Conference lineup! Bill Perkins (Guy) (cofounder and president of Skyler Fike and SynMax Maritime) will join us for a fireside chat on the new business of earth observation (and what's wrong with it.)

If you haven't signed up yet, you should probably get on it…

Holy sh*t, big NORTH51 Conference announcement incoming 😳🎉🏔️

Full credit to NVIDIA Earth2 platform. Real data, in (near) real-time, collided against foundational geospatial models, seems compelling...

In some digital world there is a line here, separating one place from another. In physical reality, there is a post, and the forest doesn't seem to notice.

Too often, as geospatial people, we find ourselves enslaved to polygonal thinking, when the most interesting things are…

I've got $2M to give in $100K grants to 20 ambitious young people taking a BIG swing to combat climate change. It's time to build. Though it shares a name with my VC fund (and 1% of our carry goes toward it, too) this is my foundation + just the start. Apply now 👇

Nothing moves fast enough.

Welcome to the mirror world. A line exists here in data space, just not in physical space. Lines can connect or divide.

Hey, team. On a map, a line can connect or divide. But the most interesting areas to explore are between those lines, in the transition. open.substack.com/pub/strategicg… #gis #geospatial #innovation #strategy
