  1. A ‘Waylaid' Teaching Diorama – USGS “Geology For Land Use”
    --
    For about 3 years, this gorgeous diorama has ‘just’ been sitting in a corner of a (common) hallway.
    I can’t help but wonder its history:
    • What prompted its creation?
    • Who was the artisan (truly!) that created it and used those components and focus?
    • When was it created? (late 1960s as an educated guess????)
    • Why was it seen as useful / in what setting? (as I am sure it was)
    • How was it funded?
    (never mind that I want to claim it for my office, space notwithstanding…)

  2. 🧪 Now we’re talking – Episode 5:
    Meet the gel permeation chromatograph! This machine helps us understand how big (or small) molecules really are 🧬 — and plays a key role in basic research at Hof University of Applied Sciences.

    “With a trio of smaller satellites that can each detect 26 wavelengths of light, the Landsat Next mission is expected to look very different from its predecessors that have been observing Earth for 50 years. This new plan for Landsat Next, a joint mission of NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey, is designed to provide more frequent, and finer resolution, data of the changing surface of Earth…”

  7. Advantages and Disadvantages of Remote Sensing - Understanding the Limits of a Powerful Technology
    --
    skywatch.com/advantages-and-di <-- shared technical article / opinion piece
    --
    Excellent points, which is why I shared - but one they kind of missed was misinterpretation... it is a natural system, so the algorithms and process to take EA data and interpret necessarily can never be 100% perfect, and nor should they be expected to be. Ground truthing and other checks & balances are a crucial part of any such interpretation.

  8. We have a LOT of different people on site today, indeed this week, including from India Geologic Survey and executive leadership...
    My #gisday is therefore at the office - and this is one wall of my office, all the things I have collected like a #packrat from my #engineeringgeology, #environmentalscience including nuke site cleanup, more - and now my #spatialhydrologist by osmosis

    My #hobbyhorse I guess - but rather than being a 'traditional' GIS professional using software try to be someone with #appliedscience, #appliedbusiness, #appliedtechnology, #appliedcultural, #appliedcommunityservice, etc needs that are met by #GIS / #spatialdataanalysis, using a variety of #spatial & other #technologysolutions - more interesting work, better #jobprospects and less chance of #burnout
