🗺️ Have you ever wanted to make beautiful maps out of your animal movement data and show elegant track lines instead of a bajillion points? Look no further, as I have put together a little tutorial to do such a thing! #telemetry #rstats #GIS #maps sarahpopov.com/projects/gwgu…

Just launched a Research Topic: “New Observations on the Behavior, Ecology, and Biology of Sharks and Rays” in @FrontMarineSci Discoveries!
Calling for short, exciting papers with cool observations from the field! frontiersin.org/research-top…

Today I discovered that GPT4 now supports processing netCDF files and other geospatial data, as well as some pretty amazing visualization capabilities. Here I asked it to downscale global 1 degree data to 0.25 degrees and create a custom 0.25 degree land mask:

Rule of science writing: abbreviations are for the reader, not the writer.
Don't use abbreviations to save your own keystrokes, use them to improve comprehension of the text. Thus "DNA" is reasonable; abbreviating study site names is not.

It's fun looking at the average real wealth of the bottom 50% over time, and then adding each successive wealth group and watching the scale shift so dramatically that the original line is basically flat.
(Next 40% is green, top 10% is red, top 1% is yellow, top .01% is purple)

oh to be a silly little eel hanging out with my silly little eel friends in our silly little tubes without a care in the world
AH! This is SO awesome! I’m so happy to see my tutorial helped make this very cool map. #trackingnotslacking #cartography

Just learned that, in 1878, John Powell recommended USA state boundaries should be based on watersheds!
Here's his map, draped on the globe, with modern watershed boundary lines in white.
Imagine what might have been!

It. Is. COMPLETE!!!! I can’t believe it. After 3 years putting my heart & soul into this map, Wild World is finished. Thank you everyone for the encouragement over the years, this was a beautiful journey and I’m deeply proud of it… a map of nature I’ve dreamt of since childhood.

Here, 180 leopard #sharks have been tracked using #computervision from #drone footage captured off #SanDiego (that's a harbor seal that spooks a few of the sharks). Next three tweets show tracking results. @PLNU @Scripps_Ocean #sharkscience #SharkWeek #Tech4Wildlife (1/4)
