The first #ESA #BIOMASS image was revealed at #LPS25 yesterday. You can find a few more images (like the one attached showing desert structures in Chad) as well as additional information in this article:

🆕 The first stunning images from our groundbreaking #Biomass satellite mission have been released – they mark a major leap forward in our ability to understand how Earth’s forests are changing and exactly how they contribute to the global carbon cycle 🌳🌍

The irony of reading this while attending a conference about bio********* from space #biospace25
We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

The welcome words are both grim and hopeful. Hoping to see even more bundling of these 🌱powers this week.

Some more good news for the Sentinel-2 mission!
Sentinel-2A, which recently retired, has been given a temporary extension, where it will support S2B and S2C to provide additional data.
Lots of hard work behind the scenes to make this happen. Glad to see it!

First image taken by ESA Sentinel-1 C SAR radar over the svalbard /spitzberg.
It was time ! S1A is in end of life and S1B is dead.
The avantage of SAR is that it doesn't care if it is day or night or if there are clouds.

A new #Sentinel-1 satellite has already been launched in our office today and is now in orbit around the Christmas tree. Hopefully the Sentinel-1C launch is going to be just as successful tonight! 🛰️ #EarthObservation #remotesensing #EOChat #ESA #Copernicus

“Desert” “rainforest” “tundra” “grassland” or “savanna” are widely used terms in common language, but each have multiple definitions and no universally accepted spatial distribution.

Who should you nominate as reviewers for your manuscript? After a long chat with a post-grad it appears that there's a lot of misguided advice out there. Thread 👇
