Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to map we go

You might assume that Lizard Island is pristine, but it's not immune from the effects of litter. Unfortunately it was all too easy and fast to collect this haul.

We are up to 5/5 women speakers now!! #SADF2025

4/4 people to take the mic this morn have been women :) #SheMaps

Excited for the start of #SADF25!

It’s a lovely office at Lizard Island Research Station! Now I just need the wind to go away…

Waiting to take off en route Lizard Island Research Station… hope the weather is better there!

Your girlfriend’s knitting is way better than mine, but I’m getting there! Has been a steep learning curve for a beginner :) Thx for the inspo!

☁️Cloud computing at it's best haha :) With most pixels classified at cloud more than 70% of the time at our study site in the Torres Strait, we've had to get creative and use 193 images over two years to build a cloud free Sentinel-2 composite for habitat mapping

All maps are wrong, but some are useful! My reefs of interest were missing from the Autel remote controller mission planner. Thankfully we had other data on hand on GeoNadir that we could use for planning to import!

Send the robots to do the work! Blows my mind how small the propellors are on the Blueboat, but they are so effective!

All in a days work... Looking for sea cucumbers in the Torres Strait is perfectly suited for drones, keeping us safe from crocs, stingers, and sharks! #seacukescience

Progress report. After three days:

53 km surface drone surveys
23 km underwater drone surveys
89 ha aerial drone surveys

All in the spirit of #seacukescience! @sawsharkman.bsky.social

Totally not the day for aerial drone mapping! The underwater team will have to shoulder the responsibility instead

A little windier than we’d like, but still pretty good for #seacukescience #dronemapping

When the tide is too high for aerial drone mapping, here’s our alternative! It’s doing a great job helping us map sea cucumbers #seacukescience @bluerobotics.bsky.social

We are seeing a TON of sea stars! This is just a very small portion of a single photo, but it's like it across a whole drone ortho. Is there anyone working on these critters who might like a collab with our #seacukescience team? @sawsharkman.bsky.social

First field trip job - set up the charging station! Aerial drones, under water ROVs, and surface drones! #seacukescience @sawsharkman.bsky.social

After missing all fieldwork last year thx to a destroyed achilles, it’s great to be on the boat again! In the Torres Strait looking for sea cucumbers:) #seacukescience @sawsharkman.bsky.social

For 25 years I have been trying to map live coral on the GBR. Now and then I get a step closer. Today was one of those days as we continue to test our latest #GeoAI on @geonadir.bsky.social. No labeling required, working with a single word prompt. Not perfect, many caveats, but ultra cool.

Most of us have experienced a fave foodie place closing down, but how many come back? Today celebrating the resurrection of Balabite in Townsville! I think it was a covid casualty- has been gone for a couple of years. But yay for its return!!

JCU Bebegu Yumba (Townsville AKA Brownsville) feeling very green and tropical for a change! Too bad I’ll be in the computer lab all week

WTF CD-ROM? Trying to update my ArcGIS Pro...
November 27, 2024 at 9:59 AM
Ooops, sorry Tassie, seems you weren't part of the model training...
November 26, 2024 at 3:15 AM
Nine seconds to detect and map these palm trees with a single prompt. No labeling or other training required. This is the cool #geoAI we're building at @geonadir.bsky.social!
