Pleased to share my 2nd PhD paper. In the 1st known application of Q method to illegal wildlife trade (IWT) issues, we show that #pangolins are primarily harvested for food (not scales) in SE Nigeria, underpinning the need to improve food security & livelihoods in the region. 1/n
Wrapping up a great week at the @nasa_bioscape applications meeting. Bringing together the South African remote sensing and biodiversity management community with the world’s best in imaging spectroscopy. A new era in measuring biodiversity from space is on the horizon
Perspective piece on managing forest patches in flammable mosaicked ecosystems - enormous thanks to @HeathBeckett and William Bond, and the two fantastic reviewers @SwanniAlvarado and Csaba Tölgyesi! My TLDR summary: Fire is (usually) fine! https://t.co/Im7fXsStut
New paper out with @AnabelleCardoso and William Bond on how fire-sensitive forests survive in flammable savanna landscapes in Africa, and how to go about conserving these systems

Savanna termite mounds are resistant to variation in long-term burning regimes. This suggests managers can focus attention on other savanna species when considering fire management

@EvanHockridge @andrewbdavies @TreesAndLasers
Ever wanted to deploy your trained @TensorFlow models to make new predictions on #EarthEngine data as it arrives?
We setup a pipeline with serverless and managed @googlecloud services to automate ML predictions on satellite data that is massively scalable
