Coworker: it just says "XY Table To Point". Why do you look so excited?

Part of a 1.160-acre section of land here at the farm boasting 100-plus meters of naturalized beachfront, nestled within wild marshland and woodland. We cannot sell nor farm, so we are making it a member-supported conservancy area. Will you join us? https://t.co/3DyQPFVNwj

The ability to smartly, reliably and scalably 'productize' science is going to become an underrated differentiator for downstream Earth observation companies - especially those that hope to offer analytics- and insights- as a service within the climate and sustainability domains.

The remnants of Hurricane Hilary will move across the Prairies over the next couple days, bringing beneficial rainfall to southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. It is extremely rare for tropical systems to move across this region. #abstorm #skstorm #mbstorm

Excited to announce that we are officially acquired by @Planet. Follow along @planet for more updates.

I am fascinated by the tendency of Earth observation companies to often "over-associate" themselves with space and the technology behind their solution but "under-associate" themselves with their end-user verticals and their jobs to be done.

Don’t forget to check out the latest National Agroclimate Risk Report!

[josephkerski @josephkerski]

Come see us today through Thursday at ⁦@isi_wsc⁩ in Ottawa to explore the relationships between spatial analysis and statistics.

[Phillip Harder @harder_water]

Droughts are painful but also highlight the gaps. #drought23 reemphasizes that basic monitoring needs help. Where I am it’s about as bad as I’ve seen it. We are in “moderate drought” per drought monitor and soil moisture is “short” per sask ag but crops beg to differ #westcdnag
