These SkySat images capture water spilling over the Nova Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine. The dam cuts through Ukraine’s Dnipro River, holding back a huge reservoir of water. The dam’s failure poses a humanitarian and ecological catastrophe. 📸 (1): 6/4/2023 📸 (2): 6/6/2023

The warm and dry weather is definitely taking its toll! James Hutton Institute peatland monitoring site at Balmoral Estate looking very dry yesterday.

Happy to announce that I passed my #PhD #viva today with minor corrections! 🥳🥂 Thank you to Angela Harris and @ChrisJMerchant for a great viva and to my all-star supervisory team Tristan Quaife, @ArtzRebekka, Alessandro Gimona and Keith. Doctoral and Researcher College, Uni of Reading

#Sentinel1 and peatland brownie (featuring bog pools, drainage ditches, peat cracks and some returning vegetation!) - the best viva cake surprise from my lovely colleagues🥳

The #WEkEO earth observation Jupyter Lab cloud plateform gives access to the full range of Copernicus satellite data. Use pre-established Jupyter Notebooks or create your own with Python to access and analyse Copernicus data. 🛰️ #earthobservation

The essential "I'm so very excited to be here!" photo. And the IEEE IGARSS sunglasses were perfect for my sunny stroll through Pasadena before the afternoon's workshop. #IGARSS2023

If you're at #IGARSS2023 come join the very interesting session on remote sensing of wetlands tomorrow morning! You'll hear me talking about EO data and Scottish bogs. And if that's not enough, I'll also give a try to GeoPitching an idea on Thursday 😎

Really enjoyed the Wetlands session at #IGARSS2023 - some fantastic applied remote rensing talks at the intersection of optical and SAR #EO and ecology!

1st place at #IGARSS2023 GeoPitch challenge! 🥳 Thank you IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society and awesome pitches everyone.

#Peatlands can come in various sizes, from small pockets to vast expanses of #blanketbog, meaning it’s not always easy to monitor and restore. We have been investigating a technique using radar data from European Space Agency satellites to monitor conditions.🛰️ More: bit.ly/462A6B4

We have big news! CSA's RADARSAT-1 is now FREE and OPEN to the world from the Alaska Satellite Facility SAR DAAC. asf.alaska.edu/datasets/daac/… Visit our R-1 page to learn more about this valuable resource, & start downloading data today! 🌐🌎🔍 #GoldenAgeofSAR #AlaskaSatelliteFacility

What an awesome Google Earth Engine Workshop in Warsaw last week! 🛰 GEE was a big part of my PhD and I’m excited to further explore its potential. And what an absolute joy to learn from the very best: Noel Gorelick, Michael DeWitt &the team #GoogleEarthEngine #GEE #RemoteSensing

We were delighted to host BBC Scotland 's Dougie Vipond out on the hillside at #Balmoral 🏔️ to learn about the pioneering work our peatland team is doing. Tune in to #Landward tonight at 8.30pm to find out more - there's more to these hills than you think. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

This year's winner of the #NatureOfScotland Conservation Science Award is Putting Scottish Peatlands “On The Map”. Our judges were so impressed by the national and international applicability of their research. Huge congratulations!🎉

Congratulations to our fabulous multidisciplinary #peatland team – the reach & impact of their work, putting - peatland on the map - won the 2023 #NatureOfScotland Conservation Science Award during the RSPB Scotland event in #Edinburgh last night 🏅 More: bit.ly/3Ra765Y

Made one quick but important visit to Uni of Reading last week! 4 years, 3 international conferences, 2 published scientific papers, 1 pandemic, and a long PhD thesis later, I am Dr Linda Toča #PhDone

Fantastic feature in AWE International, covering the research of Linda Toča from ICS James Hutton. Linda's work involves using satellite radar data to monitor water table depth, to help understand the health of our #peatlands. More: bit.ly/3U2u9l8

We're looking forward to an amazing discussion and Q&A with our esteemed panelists for our Town Hall meeting: “Building your professional network in the Geoscience Industry” at hashtag#EGU2024 Mark your calendars! ⏰ 19:00 – 20:00 CEST 📍 EGU Room K1 Mixer follows afterwards!

A few opportunities to bump into me during EGU this week, see you around! #EGU2024

Day 1 of EGU started with an extra talk at the most beautiful booth of the conference 💚 Thank you Justin Braaten and Google Earth Outreach for the opportunity #EGU2024 #GEE
