That’s a wrap on the NCC Summer Zone ☀🥳 

🎯 All installations have been removed 
🚗 Vehicle access has been restored between Somerset St and Catherine St.  

Thank you for a great first season!

What were your highlights? Let us know! 👇

📢New paper online! We show the potential of using hyperspectral field data in monitoring plant functional types in northern peatlands https://t.co/U0x807MWnZ The dataset is openly available: https://t.co/GhwC4ADOjk

No better way to wrap up two amazing sessions of #peatland science @CRSS__SCT

[Dr. Laura Chasmer @ErsPeat]

A fun dinner with this great group of remote sensing peatland fans @CRSS__SCT with @GeoKoreen, @BeraProject and others, with a few who came and went

So excited to be running a #lidR workshop at @CRSS__SCT this year! If you're coming to Halifax, consider signing up for our workshop (although I know from experience the #GEE workshop run by @NPontone and Yasamin Amini will be excellent too!)

@Yungboi_Aaron @AlexJBento I’ll never forget the episode where they did karaoke

Excited that I'm going to be helping deliver this @CarletonDGES workshop on using SLEUTH to model urban expansion scenarios April 23-25. https://t.co/JqdE7mNmDA

@bikeviewca The train closed halfway through my undergrad. I’m now in the first year of my PhD this year. Let’s take bets on what gets finished first, the train or my thesis.

[Nicholas Pontone @NPontone]

@ScootJD Thank you for sharing! Including swamps as their own class is one of the many improvements we’re hoping to make in a second version.

[Nicholas Pontone @NPontone]

Make sure not to skip the supplementary material! This paper also describes the methodology behind new Canadian PALSAR-2 L-band summer composites (circa 2020). Thanks to our collaborators at the Canadian Forest Service @NRCan for making this possible

Excited to announce this publication! Our peatland map for the Canadian boreal forest is now available as open data (https://t.co/jNVjEBlcdT). We hope this will facilitate further research in ecology, wildfire management, carbon accounting, and more!

[Nicholas Pontone @NPontone]

@AlexJBento Congratulations man!

[Rideau Canal Skateway @NCC_Skateway]

SHARPEN YOUR SKATES! 🙌🎉 

We’re putting the final touches on the ice, and the long-awaited green flag is going up on a 1.9 km section between the Pretoria Bridge and Bank Street at 9:00am tomorrow, Jan 21.
