Finally sharing my website with the world! Please, come in, take a seat, look around, and let me know if you need anything (preferably about maps). jjserrano.me

You don't need to know programming or GIS to use geospatial data. Here are 4 resources to get you started:

Rob Simmon Did take a look at the lights of Kyiv🇺🇦 back in 2022, always amazed at what remote sensing can show, but at the same time a bit concerned of the distance these images create from the true horrors of war. x.com/Pierre_Markuse…

Exciting news! It's been fully-usable in production for many years, but we finally received approval to publicly document the full-bit-depth streaming capabilities of Planet's Basemaps product: developers.planet.com/docs/basemaps/…

Interested in preforming analysis on NICFI mosaic data without GEE or needing to download? You can use full-bit-depth streaming to treat each dataset like it's one giant local file and easily access what you need at multiple scales. See github.com/planetlabs/not… as an example.

New post! I’ve long felt that finding and using satellite data was harder than it should be. Why? And how can we make it easier? My thoughts: medium.com/@robsimmon/mak…

If you’ve ever seen RJ speak, you know how much his enthusiasm for visualization shines through. If you haven’t, this is a great opportunity to find out.

First Light from our first hyperspectral satellite, Tanager-1! This image is of Karachi, Pakistan on Sept 19th. The image has 420 spectral bands, and here we’re showing one in visible-wavelength, one near-infrared image, and one shortwave infrared image of the same site + the

It can can take a while looking back for a cloudless image of the Amazon, but the patience pays off Planet

We had collected an image of the dam in question about 3.5 hours after he tweeted at me - we have two in our open data bucket now if anyone wants to try their hand at change detection. Two 50cm shots taken about 12 hours apart (link in next tweet)

Just about every hurricane forecast map shows you where the storm might go. Imagine a map that could also forecast who and how many people might be affected, including the portion of those with disabilities, or who lack cell phone or internet access. That's the goal of

Satellite imagery from Planet shows Biltmore Village, North Carolina before and after Hurricane Helene came through. The image on the left was taken on 09/28/2024 and the image on the right was taken 09/23/2024. #HurricaneHelene #Asheville
