☁ Highlight from day 1 of Global Dialogue: using cloud-based spatial frameworks for #OceanAccounting

During training, participants were introduced used cloud-based remote sensing and GIS tools to map and account for coastal ecosystems.

Our new maps show coral reefs are more extensive than we thought, write @mitchest + @stuartphinn (@UQ_news).

UQ-led research has shown there's more coral reef area across the globe than previously thought, with satellite mapping helping to conserve these vital ecosystems 🌊🛰️

Finally the main @AllenCoralAtlas paper is out! The paper acts as a scientific reference and summary of the ACA, including global reef extent, and the distribution of benthic and geomorphic class. Congratulations to paper lead @mitchest and the ACA team. https://t.co/oF8xdUPnZy

@NetflixANZ @Pokemon - help a kid out??

@RonniSalt In case you still need them this morning

@_lisagray @TracyWesterman @SallyRMelb @timbomoore Fix the data gap - as in do the research, analysis, publishing etc.

@Knochenfisch1 @sawsharkman If that's the kind of tool your after, take a look at reefcloud: https://t.co/JX2tCLfhE9

@HugePossum @ConversationEDU All good points. Let's also push govt (hard!) to support land owners and managers - for better or worse we have the lion's share, so surely we have commensurate potential for conservation or regeneration...

Just published: coastTrain is a free training library designed to support efforts to map and conserve coastal ecosystems. It contains >190,000 records for 7 coastal ecosystems from Global Mangrove Watch, Allen Coral Atlas and Global Intertidal Change. https://t.co/a7beZdBl9U

[Terri Freemantle @terrifreemantle]

@mitchest discusses the methods behind the development of the @AllenCoralAtlas including the fact that the team used over 2.25 million satellite images! 🛰🌏🪸🐠
Mind blown! 🤯 it’s incredible that we have sufficient compute to be able to achieve this! #AEO22

[Mitchell Lyons @mitchest]

@outakilta @QuollTracks @EuanRitchie1 Cheers, will read also. I've used low levels of SSP to combat low fertility exotics (lovegrass/ser tussock) in degraded wood and grasslands with mixed success. Defo gives some natives a leg up but stray clover dominates with the super. If you do develop trials, I'll have a crack!

[Mitchell Lyons @mitchest]

@QuollTracks @EuanRitchie1 Spiked my interest - what kg/Ha is small and what is the intended action/result?

As you might have gathered, I'm a little fired up about the Essendon FC situation right now. Here's a few more thoughts about THAT video the club released on Monday, another spectacular misreading of the mood of the fan base.
