How do we track water flowing through rivers from space? This major review says: 1–3 day revisit. Resolution down to 30–100 m widths. Must include width, slope, & velocity. Flood forecasting + water management depend on it. #EarthObservation #RemoteSensing #WaterResources doi.org/10.1029/2024...

ChatGPT just released Codex. You can connect to a GitHub repository, and it will explain the codebase to newcomers, suggest codebase improvements, and identify and fix critical bugs. Then do a pull/merge request! Kind of awesome. chatgpt.com/codex/ #vibecoding #chatgpt #codex

Over 90 technician vacancies threaten Doppler radar & surface station upkeep, risking prolonged outages when storms hit. Since Trump’s second term began, @noaa.gov has lost 550+ employees—the same number lost in the previous 15 years combined. #Meteorology - edition.cnn.com/2025/05/02/w...

I like Mark Litwintschik's write-up/review of 'GeoDeep's AI Detection on Maxar's Satellite Imagery'. GeoDeep is a Python package that can detect objects in satellite imagery. In the walk, he detects cars, trees, buildings, roads, and planes. #AI #EO #remotesensing tech.marksblogg.com/geodeep-maxa...

Sea levels rose faster than expected in 2024 — 0.23 inches vs. the projected 0.17 inches. Why? Record-breaking heat led to more ocean warming (thermal expansion) than ice melt. NASA: “The rate of rise is getting faster and faster.” - www.nasa.gov/missions/jas...
