Transformative Technologies and Smart Watersheds

TTSW focuses on the development & testing of advanced terrestrial, sub-orbital, and satellite remote sensing tools connected through “smart” watershed networks.

Day4 of #UAV campaign means flying #thermal, #multispectral, and #hyperspectral and then checking out the Fortress Ledge weather station (not many people get here) and the brilliant blue waters of Bonsai Lake (any guesses on name origin?). @CentreForHydro @usask_water @GWFutures

Want to join our team? A new PhD position is available with @RichardEJKelly on the application of novel airborne Ku and L-band SAR observations for watershed-scale seasonal snow mapping!

Day 3 #SnowEpix. Gusty day so focussed on using the drone-chione and digging snow pits for validation data in a nice sheltered forest clearing. Getting all the data!!Forecast takes a turn tomorrow so that’s a wrap. @CentreForHydro @GWFutures @usask_water

[GWF Young Professionals @gwf_yp]

Don’t forget to submit your abstract by March 6 (Friday) for #GWF2020 in Waterloo! Showcase your research with an oral presentation, a poster presentation, or a research impact poster!

See you there YPs! ✌️

Day 1 of #SnowEpix campaign at fortress mountain in the bag. First flight of the drone-chione system and other sensors. Drone based non destructive swe sampling on the horizon. A tad chilly but we have all our toes. #CentreForHydro #usask_water #GWFutures

@GWFutures and @GIWS_SYR at the University of Saskatchewan have organized another series of Women+Water lectures! @Laurier's @MatthewTeillet will be hosting the 1st lecture which falls on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. @LaurierResearch @gwf_yp

An amazing field work with @Murf_Research on the potential of #GNSS #reflectometry in lake ice thickness measurement.

[Yusof Ghiasi @YusofGhiasi]

Here is my video nominated as a finalist in the #GRADflix competition, which is about #gnss #reflectometry basic.
Thank @TTSW_GWF for all supports.

Congratulations to TTSW Student @YusofGhiasi, a GRADflix finalist this year. His short film explains the basics of GPS Reflectometry. Tickets are still available for the showcase tomorrow!

[Transformative Technologies and Smart Watersheds @TTSW_GWF]

It is very difficult to accept the loss of our friend and colleague Mari. She was a thoughtful, genuine person and a passionate researcher who will be sincerely missed. Below are some photos from her work at Sunfish Lake. Join us tomorrow in the EV1 Courtyard at 3pm if you can.

Dear Cryo-tweeters,
here you find some images shot with a little #drone on the #Carezza lake (#Dolomites, South Tyrol). What are those #patterns on the frozen lake?

How to build and test a hand made #gnss tower for #reflectometry experiments.

[Yusof Ghiasi @YusofGhiasi]

And now, @Murf_Research and I, have our five-meter #GNSS tower installed on the McDonald beach to collect #reflectometry data from lake ice over freezing season.

Last #hyperspectral #uav flight for the year at Buffalo Pound today. Fall colours definetly made up for the lack of sunshine! Protocols sorted to do it all again next year as we improve our understanding of algae blooms. #usask_water #GWFutures

[the Water Institute @water_institute]

Researchers from multiple universities conducted widespread harmful algae bloom sampling in Lake Erie on Wednesday, Aug. 7. The so-called "HAB Grab" is meant to better understand what causes bloom toxicity. https://t.co/tHGH77SQpP

Here is a map of the flight line planning along with the locations of the water sampling stations, a view of the shoreline near Maumee Bay State Park from @NRC_CNRC aircraft window, and an RGB WISE image of the same area.

[Yusof Ghiasi @YusofGhiasi]

And now here the first soil moisture map retrieved from the GNSS-R. Can you see the distinction between water/tree and grassy area?
