Mapping Snow On Northern Winter Roads - A Dual-Frequency Polarimetric Radar Approach For Snow Characterization Over Land, Lake And Sea Ice
--

H/T @Monojit Saha | Geospatial Analysis | Remote Sensing | Satellite Altimetry | Cryosphere
“Winter roads are essential transportation links for many remote northern communities, but their safety and reliability depend strongly on snow conditions and ice growth. In this study [link above], [the authors] evaluated a fully polarimetric, dual-frequency Ku- and Ka-band radar approach for retrieving snow depth across landfast sea ice, lake ice, and tundra.
Using field measurements near Churchill, Manitoba, and Resolute Bay, Nunavut [Canada], [they] found that the approach produced snow-depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over landfast ice, with encouraging Ku-band performance over frozen ground as well. [They] also developed an interface-detection approach for lake ice that can retrieve both snow depth and ice thickness - a promising direction for characterizing conditions relevant to winter-road planning and safety…”

“Winter roads are lifelines for remote northern communities. Built over land, lakes, rivers, and sea ice, these travel routes are increasingly vulnerable to warming temperatures and variable precipitation. To ensure safety and adapt to these changes, operators require high-resolution monitoring of snow depth across these diverse surfaces, as natural snow accumulation dictates ice growth rates, route viability and road stability. This study extends our polarimetric radar method, previously demonstrated on pack ice, to landfast sea ice, tundra, and frozen lakes and assesses how well we can retrieve snow depth over these surfaces. Results indicate consistency with earlier sea ice analyses, maintaining a mean snow depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over the landfast ice. Promising performance is also found over frozen ground using Ku-band (mean biases less than 6 cm). To address the specific challenge of lake ice, which includes strong returns from the ice/water interface, we present a new interface-detection technique that simultaneously retrieves snow depth and ice thickness. While current validation focuses on undisturbed snow, this approach could provide a path forward for characterizing the cryospheric environment in a way that can directly support the optimization of winter roads…”

Sadly, this is the outcome no one wanted.
After 3 years missing, #leahkeeper 's remains have been found.
Sending my deepest condolences to her family, community, and to all who knew and loved her.
I hope they have some measure of peace, and that justice can be done for Leah, and for all missing and murdered women/men.

They can handle "most of Canada" if you exclude that portion which lies between the Rocky Mountains and Hudson Bay, plus parts of northern #BC, #Ontario, #Quebec, #Newfoundland, and #Labrador, totalling 7-8 million people.
"They can handle Norway, they can handle #Canada" - no. The situation is *completely* different. The #Canadian #prairies and the north are *much* colder than Norway. Norway's temperature is moderated by the ocean and other factors; the prairies are an inland steppe climate, like Siberia. You can check this yourself; the data is everywhere online.
More importantly, the population density of #Norway is *much* higher than the Canadian prairies, which in turn is much higher than the Canadian north. If I parachute-drop you at random over northern #Saskatchewan or #Manitoba, there's a good chance you'll land tens or hundreds of kilometers from the next nearest human. In such territory there is *no* electrical #infrastructure, much less stuff suited for fast charging stations. And you know what *does* go through these vast #unpopulated areas?
Roads. That people have to drive on, to get to and from the communities and industrial sites and recreation areas that dot the entire province. Driving hundreds of kilometers without a gas station is *common*. In winter - remember, 5-6 months - #EVs just won't do that.
Why is it so hard for the #religious #EV #evangelists to admit that gee, not everyone's situation is like their life?

#northdakota is about 2 hours south of us by vehicle. While I hope that #manitoba can do all we can to support those needing #abortioncare, our #healthcare is strained enough.

GLOBAL INDIGENOUS 2023: The Year in Review
Highlights of news from around the world on #Indigenous Issues in 2023
by Deusdedit Ruhangariyo
Dec 27, 2023Highs and lows: The year brought a wave of highs and lows for #IndigenousPeople around the globe on issues of land, #HumanRights, climate and the #environment, education, #CriminalJustice and health.
Recent victories
In #Brazil, a majority of the country's Supreme Court delivered an historic decision in September, rejecting an attempt to curtail the rights of Native peoples concerning protected reservations on their ancestral lands, Voice of America reported. The 9-2 ruling marks a significant triumph for Indigenous activists and advocates for #ClimateAction, VOA reported.
In #Ecuador, after more than 80 years of displacement because of war, the #Siekopai nation, an Indigenous community in the Ecuadorian #Amazon, secured legal victory in a court battle to reclaim ownership of their ancestral homelands. An Ecuadorian appeals court, in a ruling shared with CNN by the nonprofit organization Amazon Frontline, upheld the Siekopai nation's claim to #Pë’këya, a #biodiverse region situated in northeast Ecuador near the Peruvian border. The Siekopai people were originally displaced during the 1940s #PeruEcuadorWar.
In #Malaysia, #IndigenousActivists achieved two significant wins against timber giant #Samling in their longstanding efforts to protect #forests and territories in #Sarawak.
And in Canada, language revitalization got a boost with a decision by the University of Northern #BritishColumbia, which is now offering a groundbreaking bachelor’s degree in #Nisgaa language fluency. The program starts in September 2024.
Ongoing struggles
It has not all been cozy this year with the world’s Indigenous peoples, however. Native people continue to struggle with a host of issues that surface in communities around the globe.
Land rights and displacement
In #Ethiopia, the designation of #BaleMountains National Park as a UNESCO World Heritage Site could lead to the eviction of more than 20,000 people from farming communities on what were once homelands for the #Oromo people.
In Canada, federal prosecutors filed charges against numerous Indigenous fishers, setting up a court fight over constitutional and treaty rights for #FirstNations people that could end up in Canada’s highest court. The move comes just three years after the initiation of a self-regulated lobster fishery by a First Nation in #NovaScotia.
Health issues
A surge in #HIV infections among Indigenous people in #Manitoba, Canada, is being blamed on “systemic anti-Indigenous racism” in the health care system. In #Saskatchewan, another Canadian province, however, disparities prompted the #Ahtahkakoop #Cree Nation to work on building its own 24-hour urgent care center to offer options to residents.
In #Australia, meanwhile, the life expectancy of Indigenous people has increased by about nine years in the last 20 years but still falls short of the wider population. According to the Australian government department of health, Aboriginal communities experience higher rates of chronic diseases and lower life expectancies due to limited access to healthcare services and disparities in health outcomes.
Education
In #Canada, many Indigenous children living in remote reserves lack access to quality education facilities, resulting in lower graduation rates and limited prospects for higher education.
In #China, authorities banned a book on the early #MongolianPeople, invoking "historical nihilism" to suppress divergent historical perspectives.
But there were gains in Australia, where the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria and the nonprofit Yalari organization launched a three-year partnership to help support educational opportunities for Indigenous children from regional and remote communities.
Climate change and the environment
A coalition of countries agreed to a five-year plan to disburse $1.7 billion to support the land rights of Indigenous and local communities, but those funds are largely bypassing the very communities they are designed to help. The funding expenditures were detailed in a report released at the United Nations’ recent climate conference, known as COP28, held in Dubai.
#Protests emerged throughout the world over various mining projects, which largely targeted Indigenous lands with work that threatened vast environmental damage. In #Panama, for example, mass protests erupted against a government deal with Central America's largest #CopperMine over concerns about sovereignty, environmental damage, and the impact on the #PanamaCanal. And in #Brazil, more than four years after the rupture of a tailings dam in #BrumadinhoValley, #Brazil, the Indigenous #Pataxó and Pataxó Hã-hã-hãe people still suffer from the lack of secure land, water, and food.
And in the #Arctic region, The Christian Science Monior reported how tough it is for Indigenous guardians to preserve their culture in a warming world, highlighting the fact that the harsh realities of #ClimateChange are affecting most Indigenous people around the world.
Human rights
#HumanRights violations continue to be problems throughout the world.
In Japan, more than 150 activists, lawmakers and advocates urged leaders to investigate the Chinese government’s human rights abuses against the #Uyghurs in #Xinjiang.
The #Kenyan government has begun widespread destruction of homes and property of Indigenous #Ogiek people living in #MauForest, despite a 2017 legal victor acknowledging ancestral land rights.
Western Australia’s parliament, however, issued an historic apology and agreed to reimburse #Aboriginal and #TorresStraitIslander workers who were exploited between 1936 and 1972 under a system that some leaders compared to “slavery.”
Language, culture preservation
Australia, which once boasted more than 300 Indigenous languages, is now facing one of the planet’s most severe rates of language decline. Fewer than 30 Indigenous languages remain as primary tongues today.
In New Zealand, efforts to revitalize the Māori language and culture is an ongoing struggle, as colonization led to a decline in the use of the Māori language and traditional practices.
Access to justice
The arrest of five environmental activists battling #WaterPollution and #mining in #ElSalvador are believed to have been politically motivated, sparking global condemnation amid controversial court proceedings.
The same issues emerged in Norway, where activists protesting against a [GIANT] #WindFarm that they say obstructs the rights of the #Sami people to raise #reindeer in central and Arctic #Norway were removed from the entrances to two government offices by Norwegian police.
In #NewZealand, a study found that incarcerated Māori people are nearly twice as likely to face housing instability when released from prison as non-#Māori prisoners. The study calls for officials to provide stable housing for individuals re-entering society.

Two things to do on my day off tomorrow. Vote in the provincial election and go to the Halloween store.
One should be pretty scary, the other is the Halloween store. Zing!
Seriously though. Can we be done with the cons garbage already? You know the old saying, “one step forward, two steps back”? That’s all they offer; dragging progress backwards. Then we’ve got to waste more time fixing everything they’ve broken.
C’maan people! #Vote #MBPoli #Manitoba #WpgPoli #Winnipeg #CanPoli

There's so many awful narratives,, and crappy policy ideas floating around in #winnipeg and #manitoba more broadly that I feel negligent not speaking out, not amplifying the sense amid the nonsense.
It's been a while since I've been really engaged online, and I don't I've quite mastered Mastodon, so I apologize in advance if mess anything up 🙂

I remember when I first dipped my toes in the #fediverse maybe four years ago, and did some searching for people from #winnipeg and #manitoba I was disappointed to find mostly biased political ranting. After a point, I just stopped searching, and focused on enjoying the interesting ideas bouncing around.
Now, with the exodus from the birdsite, it''s exciting to see all the new local (to me) folks showing up here.
Maybe I'll start posting more about #wpgpoli and #mbpoli now 😉
