This made us think

A diagram plots human experience of space & time in the physical world. It shows a rectangular area between two axis. One is time, the other space. Both range from very small to very large. Inside of that area is a much smaller rectangle. It is about 1/16 of the size and labelled “Human Experience"A diagram plots human experience of space & time in the physical world.

"Spatial Data Science Languages: commonalities and needs" - that a preprint 11(!) of us wrote together as one of many outcomes of two workshops held in Münster (2023) and in Prague (2024). It summarised where we are, what we share between R, Python and Julia, what are the common challenges, lessons and recommendations - arxiv.org/abs/2503.16686

Big thanks belongs especially to @edzer who kickstarted the whole initiative! And to all the others who participated!

NASA JPL ARIA project analysis of data from Copernicus Sentinel-2 optical and Sentinel-1 radar images measured the slip on the Sagaing Fault in Myanmar. Quick preliminary map. More details later. Fault ruptured about 500 km (300 miles) in the magnitude 7.7 earthquake on 28 March 2025. Red is northward movement and blue is southward movement. This is pixel offset tracking or optical image correlation measurements of horizontal displacements.

Map of Myanmar area showing sharp color change along the fault running roughly north-south. Red on west side where land moved northward.

#ClimateDiary The ice is not freezing as it should’: supply roads to Canada’s Indigenous communities under threat from climate crisis

This article is not just about supply roads, but all the challenges First Nation communities in Northern Ontario face. The injustice of it all.

🧵 4/5

This graphic from the WMO report is one of the best visuals I have seen that clearly illustrates the connection between increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, rising temperatures, and reinforcing feedback loops that lead to devastating high-impact events with consequent risks to populations around the world.

It's not a pretty picture.

Unreal sundogs!!

Looking up at the sky, with nested rainbow arcs around the sun, which is blocked by a telephone pole.  Same view, but now with the Sun blocked by the edge of a building roof.  There are 2 arc-shaped rainbows above the sun.Another view with the Sun blocked by the telephone pole, this time with more focus toward the right of the sun, where there's a thin white line that travels away from the sun dog (bright rainbow spot at the same elevation as the sun), at the same elevation as the sun.

A grainy night-time webcam picture of a research station at the South Pole, a large building low to the ground.

Above it is a bright green light, across the night sky, and right between it and the research building is a brightly lit up crescent moon.

I'm currently hiring a PhD student to develop an instrument for studying water flow in water channels inside glaciers. There's opportunities for fieldwork in Greenland. It would best suit a mechanical engineer - if you are interested, please get in touch. Due to restrictions imposed on us by the funding agency, you will need to be a "UK resident" (i.e. have lived in the UK for the last 3 years and have no restriction on your right to live and work here).

That's a wrap for this 2024 UW Hackweek! It's been amazing, getting to connect with passionate open science advocates, developers, students and researchers from so many places. This week scratched a deep itch I had for a while, teaching! Hadn't realized how much I missed that, giving a tutorial with good QnA interaction, pair programming 1:1 and seeing them figure things out in an aha moment, and finding out what matters to kids these days! Need to blog about this, stay tuned!

Closing session of the 2024 NASA-NSF Earth Sciences UW Hackweek! Lots of people around tables looking to the podium where the organizers of the ICESat-2, SnowEx and GeoSMART tracks stood and were giving closing remarks.
