(2/2) While my main focus remains on atmospheric remote sensing, this work reinforced my interest in cost-efficient monitoring frameworks and the broader role of Earth observation in environmental monitoring and prioritizing management practices.

(1/2) The idea was ignited during my postdoc, and I’m excited to share it with the community while looking forward to expanding on it in the future. This experience broadened my perspective on many ecological concepts.

@splillo Thanks Sam!

[Shima Shams @Shima__Shams]

@splillo Is there a legend for this map?

[Shima Shams @Shima__Shams]

I also shared my results from a pilot project on post-wildfire recovery. Let's be in touch if you're interested in that!

The effectiveness of small conferences can't be overstated! Shout out to @uw_eap and @ncar_science for organizing an insightful conference that brought together #communities, #industry, #academia,
on #Energy, #Fire, and #Changing Landscapes.

Qeshm Dayrestan International Airport in Iran reported a heat index of 178°F (81°C) today.

This would tie the record for highest heat index ever recorded, while the reported dew point of 97°F (36°C) would be a new world record.

These are intolerable conditions for human life.

We remember Virginia Norwood ❤️ Happy Mother's Day. She designed the instrument that flew on Landsat 1 in 1972; her work revolutionized Earth observing remote sensing science, earning her the moniker "Mother of Landsat." Learn about Norwood's life here: https://t.co/ghgnyQmMHV
