Early this month, #CopernicusEU's #ImageOfTheDay shared two spectacular #Sentinel2 images of tidal dynamics at France's Passage du Gois: an island causeway completely flooded by the tide every day. Here's some quick outputs from our #DEAIntertidal coastal elevation workflow over the same area!

#Sentinel2 captures remarkable tidal patterns in Roebuck Bay, Western Australia. The bay’s huge tidal range creates extensive mudflats and fascinating eddy structures near shallow sandbanks. Read more in our new #BCEarthGallery blog post: 👉 bit.ly/3Rjs0SA #RemoteSensing #Copernicus #Oceanography

We’re excited to release the first version of our (Geo)Parquet Viewer. It supports both GeoParquet and Parquet files. We hope it's a useful tool for the initial exploration of Parquet datasets and are looking forward to your feedback. Try it today at geoparquet.info

Happy to share some new #OpenAccess coastal remote sensing work published this week in @ijremotesensing.bsky.social! A new method for improving tide modelling accuracy by ranking and combining models using satellite data 🌊 🛰️ 📊 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... 🧵 Thread below!

Launch of a brand new @egu.eu journal called Earth Observation. Fully open access, publicly peer reviewed and edited by leading experts in ther field. Check out the scope, editors and options. www.earth-observation.net/home.html #openaccess #noprofit #earthobservation 🌍🛰️📡🌊🧊

Had an amazing time presenting our #eotides Python package at the global #FOSS4G conference in Auckland, NZ. Thanks for all the fascinating chats after the talk - it was genuinely inspiring to discover just how much the Venn diagram of #opensource + #coastal overlap! 🌊🤝🧑‍💻 Some top takeaways below! 👇

Mōrena, Good morning ☀️ Day 1! FOSS4G 2025 is finally here! We are full of smiles to welcome you to this year's global conference and to Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, NZ. Look out for our signs when you arrive at Auckland University of Technology. #osgeo #foss4g

✈️ Flying into NZ for #FOSS4G @foss4g.org - couldn't help but nerd out on all the beautiful tidal flats that surround Auckland. Here's a quick #DEAIntertidal tidal flat elevation map of Auckland’s Manukau Harbour, generated using #opensource code + satellite data loaded via #OpenDataCube and #STAC!

Last chance to register for free online attendance at the #AusYCSEC Young Coastal Scientists & Engineers Conference! Come along to hear lots of exciting coastal research happening across Australasia... plus a special new data announcement from Geoscience Aus in the opening session! 🤩🌊📷🛰️

Following up on this, here's an even cooler animation of the SWOT overpass! earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/15466...

How do we track water flowing through rivers from space? This major review says: 1–3 day revisit. Resolution down to 30–100 m widths. Must include width, slope, & velocity. Flood forecasting + water management depend on it. #EarthObservation #RemoteSensing #WaterResources doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Fair play to #foss4guk 2025: I will be giving a presentation called "Remote Sensing Sucks". I have my opinions, but what gets you worked up about modern EO and RS? It could be anything at all. Let me know and I might reference it in the slides :-) #earthobservation #geospatial #gis #rssucks

Wonderful to be at #IGARSS2025 in Brisbane! 🛰️Hopefully a nice Take 2 from my first IGARSS in Pasedena, CA where I spent half of the conference locked up in COVID hotel quarantine!
