Social pixel lab and friends @jdossgollin @aaronbflores and Jonathan Frame hosting @paul_d_bates our fave flood modeler to talk about out spurious precision @cmwr_2024 hosted by @uarizona
Bangladesh’s PM Hasina is using the tyrant’s handbook with armed troops, digital blackout, and “shoot-on-sight” orders to crush student protestors. Bangladeshi Americans are blocked from determining safety of loved ones. Hasina must face consequences for the “busloads” of the dead on her hands.

Under PM Sheikh Hasina's AUTHORITARIAN rule, Bangladesh imposes a curfew with a SHOOT-ON-SIGHT order for protestors demanding the end of government job quotas favoring members of Hasina's party.
as I run into 2024 furiously finishing tasks for students, funders, + co-authors as fast as I can before baby #2 arrives any day...What I am most proud of/enjoyed most professionally in 2023 was doing field work in three countries (Mexico, US, Bangladesh) as a pregnant mom
Hey! Come and check out our poster (#442) on our hand-labelled flood features for 19 global flood events using PlanetScope imagery.
I will be there till 10:20 am, after that I will be at e-Lightning Theater 3 talking about Informal Roads in regions affected by Narco-trafficking!

You can catch @LucasBelury @ariful_94@PraSharma11 @JoGiezi @RohitMukherjee9 From the Social Pixel lab at #agu2023 see talks and poster below. Ill be presenting virtually for a fun reason (35 weeks pregnant and can't travel :) ) we are hiring a postdoc btw!
My first PhD fieldwork! Lots of flood risk related ideas after visits to Sylhet, Sunamganj, Sirajganj and Dhaka. Hopefully the first of many trips to Bangladesh. Thanks to everyone who met with / accompanied us / joined our workshops!
A team from university of Arizona lead by Dr Tellman visited us for a research collaboration on flood inundation mapping with BWDB and IWFM funded by NASA. @pazjusticiavida@alexsaunderstwt
sharing our materials for the Social[Pixel] Lab flood mapping/remote sensing in Google Earth Engine/machine learning workshop in Bangladesh today- available here for anyone to access! mapping floods from cyclone Amphan 2020+ Sylhet flash floods in 2022 https://t.co/kUdMiX1kn5
awesome to be doing fieldwork again for the first time in 4 years! In Bangladesh w/ @ariful_islam_94 @JoGiezi @alexsaunderstwt meeting the people who hand collect the river level data we use! And getting to know landscapes we usually see from
Space and the people who live in them
Social[Pixel] Lab is in Dhaka this May! If you want to build capacity in index insurance/remote sensing/machine learning/using our weekly Sentinel-1 inundation dataset- https://t.co/bSK3s6pqcY come to our workshop May 22-23- registration here https://t.co/xKFbQxd0qT
me, @alexsaunderstwt @JoGiezi @ariful_islam_94 will be there and excited to work more with @AKMSaifulIslam7 and our partners at FFWC to leverage these datasets for financial resilience- reach out if you want to meet up!
@ariful_islam_94 just finished his masters at BUET and worked with the awesome @AKMSaifulIslam7. He's done flood management and vulnerability mapping with half a dozen NGOs in Bangladesh, including with @UNDPBangladesh in refugee camps in Cox's Bazaar.
