Sea rescue organizations said they had saved 175,000 people from distress at sea over the past decade and called for a Europe-wide, state-sponsored #SAR program for the #Mediterranean.

An interview with Dr. Vernon Singroy, a Canadian #SAR #earthobservation hero.

"A lot of what’s now routine in government, crop classification, soil moisture monitoring, ice detection, started as research...."

"...remote sensing has used AI techniques for decades...."

"I don’t think I did anything special. I just loved what I did, and I worked hard at it."

NHK: Many missing dementia patients in Japan who died found in river areas

"...An NPA analysis of the locations where the deceased were found shows that 382 people -- or more than 77 percent -- died within 5 kilometers of where they went missing.

Among the 491 dead, the largest number of bodies -- 115 -- were found in locations such as rivers and dry riverbeds. A total of 79 were discovered in irrigation canals and gutters, while 71 were found in mountains and forests...."

an Alaska man who was pinned face-down in an icy creek by a 318-kilogram boulder for three hours survived the ordeal with no major injuries, thanks in part to his wife's quick thinking and lots of luck:

Cool. Canada’s new Search and Rescue aircraft -- CC-295 Kingfisher -- is in service and SARs are jumping out of it! (because that's their job!). This aircraft replaced the big old DHC-5 Buffalo. It's currently only deployed from CFB Comox but others will be based at Greenwood, Trenton, and Winnipeg.

And the outcome was good. Pilot of a crashed aircraft recovered and taken to hospital.

Title: Aboveground #biomass mapping of Canada with #SAR and optical satellite observations aided by #activelearning 🧪

Aboveground biomass mapping of Canada with SAR and optical satellite observations aided by active learning


Shuhong Qin,  Hong Wang , Cheryl Rogers, José Bermúdez, Ricardo Barros Lourenço, Jingru Zhang, Xiuneng Li, Jenny Chau , Piotr Tompalski, Alemu GonsamoNational forest inventory (NFI) data has become an indispensable reference for model training and validation when estimating forest abovegroundbiomass (AGB) using satellite observations. However, obtaining statistically sufficient NFI data for model training is challenging for countries with vast land areas and extensive forest coverage like Canada. This study aims to directly upscale all available NFI data into high-resolution (30-m) spatially continuous AGB and explicit uncertainties maps across Canada’s treed land, using seasonal Sentinel 1&2 and yearly mosaic of L-band SyntheticApertureRadar (SAR) observations. To address the poor performance with limited training dataset, failure to extrapolate prediction beyond the bound of the training dataset and cannot provide spatially explicit uncertainties that are inherent to the commonly used RandomForest (RF) model, the GaussianProcessRegression (GPR) model and active learning optimization was introduced. The models were trained using stratified 10-fold cross-validation (ST10CV) and optimized by Euclidean distance-based diversity with bidirectional active learning (EBD-BDAL) before extrapolated on the GoogleEarthEngine ( GEE ) platform. The GPR model optimized with EBD-BDAL estimated Canada’s 2020 treed land AGB at 40.68 ± 6.8 Pg, with managed and unmanaged forests accounting for 82 % and 18 %, respectively. Trees outside forest ecosystems account for 2 % (0.8 Pg AGB) of total AGB in Canada’s treed land, and there are 0.1134 PgVisual Abstract containing maps with the AGB distributions over the Canadian territory

Here is a photo of one of the NISAR banners now flying around JPL, a sign that the launch is approaching.

Photo of a banner hanging from a light pole. The banner has an artistic figure showing a beam of radar shining on Earth mountains, glaciers, lakes, and forests in shades of purple and pink. Text says NISAR Revealing Earth’s Changing Surface. Behind the pole is a metal and glass building and I the distance the San Gabriel Mountains.

Kurz darauf nahm 1 Patrouillenboot der die Menschen an Bord u. brachte sie nach

Mehrere zivile Schiffe waren in der Nähe, doch keins hatte einen empfangen, der zu diesem Boot passte.

Wir verurteilen Europas sog. „Grenzschutz“-Apparat, der erneut beweist, dass er nicht schützt, sondern People on the Move unsichtbar macht u. im Stich lässt.

ALOS-2 L Band SAR now available through Alaska Satellite Facility
“Previously, JAXA data weren’t freely available to outside scientists, so this agreement really, really opens things up,” said Dr. Gerald Bawden, the program scientist for ASF DAAC and the NISAR mission. “By having ASF distribute the data, NASA is able to provide this valuable dataset to the community.
