de Conto et al. present a global map of 3D canopy complexity modeled from spaceborne lidar reveals that highly complex forests are concentrated in the tropics, with significant variations observed across biomes. GEDI nature.com/articles/s4146…

Amazing to see this map of all movements by reintroduced English White-tailed Eagles identifying landscape-scale habitat selection.

To celebrate the first day of autumn, here’s a poem called ‘The Problem of Writing Poems in the Shape of Deciduous Trees’

The facility is now seeking to hire a full-time Remote Sensing Technician who will be based at Edinburgh. This is an excellent opportunity to put in practice remote sensing skills, with opportunities for field work using spectrometers and UAVs. To apply: elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

Every tree, every forest, every quarter. We just launched our AI-powered Forest Carbon Monitoring product that measures changes to forest carbon and canopy across the globe at 3 meter resolution. This is the world’s first forest monitoring system offering insights at this

Check out our new Forest Carbon Monitoring product at Planet ☺️🚀🌳

Planet just launched impressive quarterly and annual datasets on global forest carbon, tree height, and canopy cover at 3 and 30-meter resolutions. Meanwhile, a few months ago Meta showcased a global 1-meter resolution snapshot of global forests composite from 2018-2020, released

Great work by Zhen Qu showing the importance of tropical #wetlands in driving the recent trend in atmospheric #methane. Particularly timely that this is published while European Space Agency's #EO4Africa is happening with the huge role Africa/Congo plays in this pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

I heard that there are still politicians that are proposing to build more roads to solve congestion. So I visited our library to check it out:

No one is in prison for Grenfell

A vaccine has essentially eliminated a dreadful form of cancer. Extraordinary.

I love this new InSAR study in Nature - they set out to show that a buried natural gas storage site caused deformation on the surface when gas was injected or withdrawn, and instead found that seasonal variation in soil moisture dominated surface movement. Notice the scale.

Newly released study shows that separated bike lanes reduce maximum car speeds by 28%, average speeds for turning cars by 21%, and 8% for cars going straight. If cities want to reduce speeding, they should install separated/protected bike lanes—it’ll also get more people biking!

The choices we make today help create a more sustainable world and propel the transformation towards a resilient, thriving global society. We have a new Earth Observation Science Strategy and it outlines a bold vision for Earth sciences through 2040: esa.int/Applications/O…
