Sad to see this beautiful #Worcester #canal -side weeping willow brought down by #stormdarragh. Still a lot of trunk remaining so I'll hope to see regrowth this spring.

In London for @geolsoc.bsky.social NSGG Recent Advances in #Archaeology #Geophysics. Essential conference preparation in progress.

OK, here's my first starter pack. Honestly struggled a bit to find peeps! Pls let me know who's here that I'm missing so that I can grow this properly for drone mapping peeps! go.bsky.app/SXVsHzs

Visualizing terrain curvature can reveal and characterize subtle #archaeology features on steep ground.

This is a drone #photogrammetry survey of British Camp #hillfort on the #Malvern Hills. Red is convexity, blue is concavity, greyscale is steepness. Created using #QGIS and other #osgeo tools.

There's enough of us now to do one of these!
