We have a LOT of different people on site today, indeed this week, including from India Geologic Survey and executive leadership...
My #gisday is therefore at the office - and this is one wall of my office, all the things I have collected like a #packrat from my #engineeringgeology, #environmentalscience including nuke site cleanup, more - and now my #spatialhydrologist by osmosis

My #hobbyhorse I guess - but rather than being a 'traditional' GIS professional using software try to be someone with #appliedscience, #appliedbusiness, #appliedtechnology, #appliedcultural, #appliedcommunityservice, etc needs that are met by #GIS / #spatialdataanalysis, using a variety of #spatial & other #technologysolutions - more interesting work, better #jobprospects and less chance of #burnout

More modelling cross-fertilisation please!

Models of human cognition and behaviour in the applied sciences often lack a foundation in theory from cognitive science. Conversely, much fundamental human modelling research is not being applied in the real world. Connecting the two perspectives can bring great value on both ends.

I am therefore very happy to be joining the editorial board of Computational Brain & Behavior - already a great journal for rigorous cognitive modelling - specifically to advocate for increased fundamental-applied connections.

Do you think your modelling research is of interest from both fundamental and applied perspectives? Consider sending it to CB&B! And don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Terra Nostra, 1550-1950 - The Stories Behind Canada's Maps [lunchtime reading for a map nerd]

[a wonderful description of maps in their exploration, historic, cultural, economic and political settings]
“Maps have been invaluable throughout Canada's history. They promised fame and fortune to early merchant-adventurers and guided army commanders. They legitimized a politician's dominion and allowed businessmen to stake new claims. And they helped ordinary citizens build communities. Terra Nostra celebrates the mapping of Canada, in part by telling the stories of the exceptional individuals who helped to create the maps..."

Hi, I'm Steven! #introduction I'm a #PhdStudent at the #UniversityOfWashington #Seattle in #Hydrology #CivilEngineering #EnvironmentalEngineering . My work has been focused on developing #RemoteSensing methods (visible through #infrared ) for observing #snow and surface temperatures in mountain headwaters. I am also #OpenToWork for opportunities starting mid-2023! I'm interested in remote sensing #AppliedScience for #ClimateAdaptations , #NaturalHazards , #WaterResources , and also #teaching!

Had a successful day of conferencing at the Australasian #Mycological Society Symposium in Wellington New Zealand yesterday at #AMS2022.
A great line up of talks on #fungal #diversity, #molecular & #genomic studies, #appliedscience, #biocontrol, #plantpathology, #ecology, and #Aspergillus in #kākāpō.
