...so this was an exercise in mapping possible extents of an ecology we know very little about except that it exists, using high resolution orthophotos captured by drone.

I would have loved to keep this work going, in the theme of working on a connected geography of sea ice. How often do we have opportunities to do something like this?

And how poignant. To help understand something we don't even know exists, before it might be lost forever.

...after identifying melt ponds, the next step is a classification based on RGB bands and some measures of texture /homogeneity within each identified pond. To give us "salty / maybe / not salty' classes.

There's also validation data to use from water sampling in each pond. So the idea is to estimate using imagery, check with in situ data, see if we can build a reliable way to expand into spaces that we don't have validation for. Standard remote sensing stuff.

"... KEY POINTS
• Employing time dependent global mantle convection models since the Cretaceous. [the authors] simulate the origin of the enigmatic Indian Ocean geoid low
• Plumes forming along the edges of the African Large Low Shear Velocity province (LLSVP) control the regional geoid in the Indian Ocean
• These plumes, in turn are generated by lower mantle Tethyan slabs that perturb the African LLSVP…”

talk announcement!

How does the geological record form?

We can observe modern depositional environments using advanced remote sensing and direct sampling.
We can observe geological strata through seismics, drillcores, and direct sampling.

What happens in between?

Xianyi Liu in my team is trying to find out, using the oldest known aerial photographs of the , and comparing them with today's facies distribution. It's a journey through , , modelling and . If you'd like a sneak peek, join his talk coming Tuesday at 17:00 CET at PaleoPERCS.

A colleague of mine is offering a funded PhD position (4 years) in of in Switzerland: live.solique.ch/metas/de/inter

And at the same time I'm offering a PhD on using nighttime lights: jobs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/jobpos

It's great to see and research being taken seriously by funding agencies!

live.solique.chPhD Position in Metrology for Skyglow Measurement and Monitoring (4 years – 100%)The Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology METAS is the reference institute for measurements and measuring instruments in Switzerland. To ensure that a litre is always a litre (e.g. when filling up with petrol), METAS carries out calibrations, conformity assessments and consultations for industry, research and administration. Measurement accuracy creates trust, especially at the social and political level, and is essential in many areas: road traffic, electricity billing, time transmission, measurements in the environmental and health sectors, etc. At METAS, different fields of expertise come together and complement each other – and have done so since 1862. <br><br><b>Project & Position Overview:</b> The research project
