Colluding Rhino Poachers Exploit Space–Time Variation In Opportunity And Risk

https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.13106 <-- shared paper

“[R]esearch analysing over 500 rhino poaching incidents and exploring what these patterns reveal about the behaviours of poachers, rangers, and rhinos. [Their] study highlights concerning evidence of criminal syndicate infiltration, space–time targeting by poachers, and how behavioural insights can inform effective responses—from targeted dehorning to bolstering ranger resilience…”

'Some (TopoBathy) Floodplain Images I Made A Few Years Ago, On The Mississippi R.
--
These are some (topobathy) floodplain images I made a few years ago for a specific usecase – and ‘stumbled’ across them again today, lookin’ for something else…
Every time I look at such things, the (engineering) geologist, geomorphologist, (pseudo) hydrologist, spatial data scientist in me is made happy in being reminded what access we have to (often open) spatial data and the sheer volume of it, and the use cases for which it can be leveraged.
We are lucky professionals…

Advantages and Disadvantages of Remote Sensing - Understanding the Limits of a Powerful Technology
--
https://skywatch.com/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-remote-sensing-understanding-the-limits-of-a-powerful-technology/ <-- shared technical article / opinion piece
--
Excellent points, which is why I shared - but one they kind of missed was misinterpretation... it is a natural system, so the algorithms and process to take EA data and interpret necessarily can never be 100% perfect, and nor should they be expected to be. Ground truthing and other checks & balances are a crucial part of any such interpretation.

Blow-Me-Down Brook, NH – An NHD Flowline Picked ‘Randomly’

I am working on some hydroaddressing / network traversing technical approaches for 3DHP – and needed an example of a multisegment flowline in NHD-sourced dataset, and so ‘randomly’ got this one - Blow-Me-Down, NH, from WBD HUC4-0108.
Although we map so many flowlines (~20 million in the USA for NHD-sourced spatial data, estimated 10x that for the EDH data still to be determined across the USA), I like trying to understand what a flowline or waterbody ‘is’ to the people on the ground as much as I can...

[I am not associated with this university in any way, just thought that it was an informative article]
[My personal take is that unless you want specifically to be ‘Spatial Super Hero’ then pick a professional field that you appreciate & interests you - and then use GIS / spatial data skills to support that with your gained knowledge. Note that this field will almost certainly change over your career and that is A-OK; I started out as an engineering geologist, still keep my license current, then environmental scientist including nuclear site cleanups, and now work in the area of spatial data for hydrology, next is…]

It's a bumpy ride, full of wrong coordinates and not-very-helpful legends, however, the unexpected twists and turns are what make it so memorable.
This fun online project, dedicated to geographically incorrect entertainment, features such gems as 'The World According To Fish' and 'What Pedestrian [Signs] Look Like Across Europe.'
Even though its content might not get you from point A to point B, the pictures can, in fact, teach you something and put a smile on your face…”

[All Data Is Spatial!]
“Who doesn't love a good map? I'd even say we'd get lost without one. They enrich our understanding of the world in a simple, visual way.
Maps teach us not only about the size and shapes of countries but also show many more interesting things, like earthquake locations and wealth distribution. The local status of gay marriage or car reliance. Pretty much everything we have data on!..”
