World Migratory Bird Day

Dopo aver raccontato questa affascinante ricorrenza

Giornata mondiale degli uccelli migratori🐦

torniamo a parlare della World Migratory Bird Day – Giornata Mondiale degli Uccelli Migratori, che nel 2026 cade sabato 9 maggio, come sempre nel secondo sabato di maggio. Ma quest’anno porta con sé un messaggio ancora più coinvolgente e attuale…

🌍 Cos’è (e perché continua a emozionare)

È una campagna globale sostenuta anche dalle Nazioni Unite per sensibilizzare sulla tutela degli uccelli migratori e dei loro habitat. Questi straordinari viaggiatori attraversano continenti, oceani e città, ricordandoci che la natura non ha confini. E proprio per questo la loro protezione è una responsabilità condivisa.

📅 La particolarità della doppia data

Forse non tutti lo sanno (perfetto da aggiungere!):
la giornata si celebra due volte l’anno:

• secondo sabato di maggio (migrazione verso i siti di nidificazione)
• secondo sabato di ottobre (ritorno verso le aree di svernamento)

Un modo poetico per seguire il ritmo naturale delle migrazioni nel mondo.

✨ Novità 2026: “Every Bird Counts”

Il tema 2026 è: “Every Bird Counts – Your Observations Matter!” (Ogni uccello conta – Le tue osservazioni sono importanti!)

Un invito diretto a tutti noi: anche una semplice osservazione può diventare un dato prezioso per la scienza.

👉 Grande protagonista è infatti la citizen science (scienza partecipata), cioè il contributo delle persone comuni nel monitorare e proteggere gli uccelli migratori.

🔎 Un anniversario speciale

Il 2026 coincide anche con un traguardo importante: 60 anni dell’International Waterbird Census, uno dei più grandi programmi globali di monitoraggio degli uccelli acquatici. Un dettaglio che rende questa edizione ancora più significativa!

💡 Come partecipare (anche in modo chic!)

Non serve essere esperti birdwatcher:

• una passeggiata nella natura 👣
• una foto condivisa 📸
• un’osservazione registrata online

possono contribuire davvero alla conservazione della biodiversità.

🕊️ Un piccolo gesto, un grande viaggio

Se nel articolo precedente si è raccontato il valore simbolico e naturale della giornata, il 2026 aggiunge un tassello importante: ognuno di noi può fare la differenza.

Perché, proprio come gli uccelli migratori ci insegnano… anche il viaggio più lungo inizia da un piccolo battito d’ali. 💫

Habitat heterogeneity is vital; the various species that form niches as well as the species that rely on edges of varying niches are part of this process. Seasonally semi-floode/dry habitat; species such as cursed crowfoot thrive in these transition-based niches and microclimates.

There is so much more to life than meets the eye. Holistic approaches are the best approaches.

Giving back to Calgary: an article was published today about my satellite research of the city!

It is important to me to use my knowledge as a geoscientist and environmental data scientist to help make our new home better and greener. Thanks to LiveWire Calgary for the interest in this topic!

One more quick byproduct of my MDEM development: a bivariate map integrating volumetric structural data (SAR) with surface temperature (LST). This approach identifies the exceptionally intensive dissipative role of volumetric vegetation structure (trees and tall shrubs). By accounting for these high-performance cooling elements, we can better understand how they supplement traditional landscaping to enhance the city's overall thermal resilience.

#Introduction time!

Hi there, I'm Mary and I go by they/they pronouns. This is my relatively new account on #Sharkey where I'll post about creative interests like #BuJo, #WebDev, and #Crochet.

Last year, I joined the Fediverse through #Mastodon and currently hold an account on a science-focused instance. I wanted a space to post about non-science interests on a quieter side of the Fediverse and Sharkey seemed like a good fit.

I have an academic background in #Biology and #EnvironmentalScience and I'm huge nerd. At Masto, I toot about my #ScienceCommunication internship.

Use of this account will heavily lean into self-talk, documentation, and learning in public. While I'm not seeking social interaction, if what I do interests anyone for any reason, feel free to follow ​:bunhd_heart:​. With that said, accounts who share resources and tips related to the Open Source Software or personal projects are of great interest to me ​:eankitty_smug:​.

Happy to be here!

PS. I love cats ​:meong_laughing:​.

Principles of Environmental Science: Inquiry & Applications, Tenth Edition by William P. Cunningham, 2021

Environmental science often emphasizes that while we are surrounded by challenges, we also have tremendous opportunities. We face critical challenges in biodiversity loss, clean water protection, climate change, population growth, sustainable food systems, and many other areas.

There are many ways to represent the spatial anisotropy of terrain forms.
In this case, I focused on a comparative approach: the real surface area of different geomorphon classes plotted against slope aspect.

All calculations were performed within the polygon of the effective catchment area of the Inhulets River.
This visualization highlights how specific landform types tend to “align” with certain aspect directions, revealing structural asymmetries within the catchment.

A small rediscovery from my archive.
In June 2023, during Alberta’s extreme wildfire season, I created a day-by-day animation using NASA FIRMS fire-hotspot data.

The animation shows how quickly ignition points spread across the province — almost like watching the forest "breathe fire" in slow motion.
It didn’t get much attention on LinkedIn… but this feels like the right place to share it again.

If you’re into remote sensing, wildfire monitoring, or environmental analytics — this one might be interesting.

Here is a quick land-cover breakdown for the Carpathian National Nature Park (Ivano-Frankivsk region, Ukraine), based on Copernicus Global Land Service remote-sensing data.

The results show that closed evergreen needle-leaf forest dominates the territory (almost 60%), followed by mixed and deciduous forests. Urban areas, shrubs, and agricultural lands occupy only a tiny fraction of the park.

This is part of my long-term project of analysing protected areas using open satellite datasets and reproducible geospatial workflows.

A few years ago, I carried out a personal initiative project while working at UkrGazVydobuvannya (Oil&Gas).

In 2019–2020, I performed a full land-cover analysis for all company license areas using openly available Copernicus Global Land Cover data.

I built two variants of the analysis based on FAO UN land-cover classifications and calculated Shannon diversity indices for each license area.
Later, I expanded the work and produced detailed plots and spatial summaries for every site.

These analytics were used by both field personnel and upper management — for general environmental understanding and for environmental impact assessment (EIA) related to the company’s production activities.

Everything was done using open data and the R language.

Norway’s Desert Control has introduced a breakthrough that sounds almost impossible. A technology known as Liquid NanoClay can transform dry sand into fertile soil in just seven hours.

By blending clay, water, and local soil, the mixture coats sand grains, allowing them to hold moisture and nutrients just like farmland. What normally takes decades through natural processes can now happen in less than a day.

Trials in the UAE and the U.S. have already shown promising results, proving that even deserts can be turned into green landscapes. This could reshape farming, protect against desert expansion, and secure food supplies for the future.

#WabanakiStudies should be taught at all #MaineSchools

OpEd by Hope Carroll, December 26, 2023

"#Wabanaki history is ingrained across #Maine and has deep rooted cultural relationships with major natural landmarks that many of us see everyday. However, there is a concerning gap surrounding the important aspects of our state’s rich Wabanaki history and what little many students learn about it in Maine schools.

"Wabanaki studies need to be consistently incorporated into all Maine school districts. According to a 2022 report done by the #AbbeMuseum, the #MaineACLU, the Maine Indian Tribal-State Commission and the #WabanakiAlliance, the Wabanaki studies law passed by Maine in 2001 is not appropriately enforced across the state.

"The law 'requires schools to teach Maine K–12 students about Wabanaki territories, economic systems, cultural systems, governments, and political systems, as well as the Wabanaki tribes’ relationships with local, state, national, and international governments,' the report says.

"The Portland public school system recently incorporated a Wabanaki studies program into its curriculum. This will hopefully be a good example for other districts across Maine and encourage them to do the same.

"Teaching Wabanaki studies will help children gain a better understanding of the state. In time, this can help them develop a closer relationship with the #land and our responsibility to ensure that it is cared for and treated with respect.

"'Through #traditional stories representing the terrestrial and aquatic systems, important [Wabanaki] values are imparted that safeguard culturally significant resources from overuse and ensure the persistence of the people and culture,' says Natalie Michelle, interdisciplinary studies and research assistant of native environmental studies in climate change at the University of Maine.

"It is more important than ever that we look to native science as we face irreversible damage to our climate. We must prioritize implementing these ideals early into the educational careers of children so they go on to practice them throughout their lives.

"Western science and education has taught the ideals of dominance over nature for centuries. This is reflected in practices that have contributed to the #extinction of animals, rises in #NaturalDisasters, food and water shortages and the numerous other effects of #ClimateChange. Instead of connecting with #nature, we are often taught to distance ourselves from the #NaturalWorld. We are taught to use vague and nonspecific naming tools like 'it' to refer to any non-human being.

"'We use it to distance ourselves, to set others outside our circle of moral consideration, creating #hierarchies of difference that justify our actions — so we don’t feel,' says Robin Kimmerer, professor of environmental and forest biology at the State University of New York College of #EnvironmentalScience and #Forestry.

"Kimmerer talks of alternatives to using 'it' to put ourselves on the same level as other living beings, recognizing them as relatives by calling them by their name. But she says that this can be difficult for many of her students because they were not taught these alternatives until now.

"In my experience growing up in Maine and going to school, I never encountered a class focused on Wabanaki studies until college. I am grateful to have this opportunity now. But it has been difficult for me to implement these new ideals into my thinking toward the land around me because they seem so foreign.

"Using the word 'foreign' seems wrong when describing ideals that have been used in Maine since long before any of us were here. But Maine schools and communities have an opportunity to change this.

"Children who grow up in this state have the right and responsibility to know the history of the land around them. They have the right and responsibility to understand the negative implications of #colonization and #ForcedRemoval of the #WabanakiTribes and how despite horrible #historical events, the Wabanaki people have endured and developed their own #sovereign structures.

"In order to create more inclusive classrooms that incorporate all aspects of our state history and work towards building respectful relationships with Maine land, other communities should follow the exciting example being set in #PortlandMaine."
