Final presentations from students in GEOG 450/650 (and an independent study) are happening next Tuesday (Dec 02) at 12:30 in the GIS lab at UNBC. We are opening this up to everyone, so come on out and see the possibilities of #geospatial analysis with #python! @unbcgeographyensc.bsky.social

You might see me on CBC's The National tonight (!), talking about the storm that trapped hundreds of trekkers on the north/east side of Everest and its connections to #climatechange. Here is a collection of satellite loops from 01 - 05 October showing the development and progression of the storm.
