@pokateo_maps Thinking that “more data” or “high resolution data” will improve model performance … assuming that all models can be executed from a GIS software platform because the data are geo-referenced 🤨
⏰Day #2 of @SERVIRGlobal#SAGE2024⏰
This morning we talk about remote sensing 🛰️ services related to Agriculture and Food Security 🌽. A panel discussion on services, impacts, and next steps.

The #ICE2024 conference in Japan has been so inspirational. It’s amazing to see so many elementary, jr, highschool presenters. Here’s Jo Nagai, 5th grader, by his poster on learned inheritance. He told me he next wants to do epigenetics/CRISPR on his butterflies! @ice2024kyoto_jp
"I feel that for some crazy reason we are in the right place at the right time, to put something back! And what I mean by that is, most of us didn’t make the clothes we are wearing, and we didn’t cook or grow the food that we eat …" Steve Jobs, 1984.
Gave a talk on the use of SAR polarimetry in mapping floods at the @IapetusDTP annual conference. It has been a great learning week listening to other great presentations.
Many years ago, we learnt about MapWindow and used it for a while.
A few months later, we developed a custom solution to suit our needs (our own GIS)
We later learnt about Quantum GIS (known as QGIS today). We explored it inside-out and became our go-to GIS.
We taught it to other students(with many opposing and preferring the cracked versions of ArcGIS
We spread the word and got training gigs from Corporates (while students).
We won a grant from RCMRD/USAID/NASA.
We graduated.
And the story goes on and on.
Saddened by the demise of distinguished Professor Paul Wessel. Your contribution to #geospatial#geoscience#GIS thru @gmt_dev will live for ever! I would not have done such plots without #GMT4 to #GMT6. Was always responsive & very courteous. RIP!
Proud to be one of this year’s @SkollFoundation Awardee for Social Innovation for the important work of doing of #Feedingthefuture 🎊🥳
