Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to map we go @sawsharkman.bsky.social

You might assume that Lizard Island is pristine, but it's not immune from the effects of litter. Unfortunately it was all too easy and fast to collect this haul.

We are up to 5/5 women speakers now!! #SADF2025

4/4 people to take the mic this morn have been women :) #SheMaps

Excited for the start of #SADF25!

Loving the patterns in this natural rock shelf off Jervis Bay, New South Wales! Any geologist or geomorphologist out there who can shed some light on how they form? Thank you to Graham Doig, UNSW for sharing data.geonadir.com/image-collec... #geology #geomorphology #dronemapping

Hello #geospatial community! We're working on getting this account up and running as soon as possible! Stay tuned. 💜

This is truly an amazing funding opportunity. Travel funding for US-based students to attend @giscience-conf.bsky.social in New Zealand! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Kaikōura (NZ) literally means "eat crayfish" (kai = food/eat, kōura = crayfish) in Māori, making it a seafood lover’s paradise! It’s also one of the best places in the world to see sperm whales year-round! Thanks James Driscoll for sharing

🚁 Matrice 4 Enterprise vs. Mavic 3 Enterprise – Which one wins for drone mapping? 🚨 Bottom line: If you’re choosing between the M3E and M4E, the decision comes down to cost vs. capability. We break it all down in our latest blog. Read the full review here: geonadir.com/matrice-4-en...

A review of the Matrice 4 Enterprise (M4E)

We tested the DJI Matrice 4 Enterprise, putting it through its mapping paces and comparing it to the Mavic 3E in capabilities and price.

DYK that you need to set higher than usual overlap and sidelap parameters when capturing multispectral (and thermal) #dronemapping data? Here's why... help.geonadir.com/en/articles/...

With an increasing number of multispectral drones, it's important to understand the considerations in capture and processing

Yes, it really is this easy.

Our wonderful planet, seen by @eumetsat.bsky.social's #MTG satellite. I'll never get tired of views like this. Can you see the thunderstorm clouds bubbling up just ahead of the sunset?

It’s a lovely office at Lizard Island Research Station! Now I just need the wind to go away…

Waiting to take off en route Lizard Island Research Station… hope the weather is better there!

☁️Cloud computing at it's best haha :) With most pixels classified at cloud more than 70% of the time at our study site in the Torres Strait, we've had to get creative and use 193 images over two years to build a cloud free Sentinel-2 composite for habitat mapping

All maps are wrong, but some are useful! My reefs of interest were missing from the Autel remote controller mission planner. Thankfully we had other data on hand on GeoNadir that we could use for planning to import!

Send the robots to do the work! Blows my mind how small the propellors are on the Blueboat, but they are so effective!

All in a days work... Looking for sea cucumbers in the Torres Strait is perfectly suited for drones, keeping us safe from crocs, stingers, and sharks! #seacukescience

Doing a better job than our aerial drone in this weather!

What do you do when the weather is horrid? Have a friendly robot 🤖 do the work for you! Poor Calypso is probably not enjoying their time but what a trooper! @bluerobotics.bsky.social @griffith.edu.au #MQ #JCU

Australian uni Vice-Chancellors are among the highest paid in the world. You'll be shocked (*shocked*!!!) to discover that higher pay does not lead to a better student experience. @jack-thrower.bsky.social writes #OffTheCharts australiainstitute.org.au/post/the-hig...

Progress report. After three days: 53 km surface drone surveys 23 km underwater drone surveys 89 ha aerial drone surveys All in the spirit of #seacukescience! @sawsharkman.bsky.social
