I often think about modifiable spatiotemporal unit problems and how to better communicate such geographic challenges. I built this #EarthEngine app to support a project on LULC in SE Asia and I hope that others will find it fun, valuable, or interesting! zonal.cartoscience.com/

Creatures travel, climate changes, habitat suitability is a 'living' spatiotemporal phenomenon. Here's what 15 years of oscillating inter- and intra-annual tsetse suitability looks like in Kenya.

Earth-art Sunday features some beautiful alluvial fans seen from space! They represent the distinct pattern of water runoff from the mountains, where the eroded soil, with the help of rain, is carried from the mountain slopes to lower lands. 📷Northeastern Iran 📷Tibetan Plateau

Since #EarthDay is next week, we wanted to share this very special painting for #FullDiskFriday. Commissioned in 1954 by Dr. Harry Wexler, a meteorologist with the U.S. Weather Bureau, it imagined what a satellite might "see” from orbit—before the first one was ever launched.

For #WorldArtDay, we thought it'd be fun to take a peek at just a few of the places where #Landsat and art intersect. Happy #WorldArtDay2021 #eARTh #Athread

The coastal state of Sinaloa is one of the largest shrimp farming regions in #Mexico. Vast areas of wetland (blue-green) and grassland (yellow) found along the coast in 2010 were inundated with water (light blue) by 2015. go.nasa.gov/3ulTTc3

An astronaut took this photo of the #Texas Gulf Coast showing its flat coastal wetlands, barrier islands, and inland woodlands. The photo centers on Houston, home to @NASA_Johnson, where astronauts live and train. go.nasa.gov/3r7Ky5F

I compiled a large set of multi-scale zonal statistics relevant to agriculture (e.g., NDVI, soil quality, temperature, and rainfall) using #EarthEngine and shared it on Harvard Dataverse. The code can be repurposed and I hope that others find it useful! doi.org/10.7910/DVN/M4ZGXP
