One of the few positive things that came out of the Covid lock downs was the opportunity to run virtual fieldtrips and compare them to their physical equivalents. In a previous paper we compared the learning outcomes from the virtual and the real world trips. In our latest paper we ask the question are virtual fieldtrips are "more efficient" and if so how much more? - Spoiler Alert - they are! We also ask is efficiency the only thing that matters? - Spoiler alert - probably not. See the previous paper here https://lnkd.in/eqJBKdm9

PFG 2024/6, the last issue in 2024, is out! It contains two papers as follow-up from the Virtual Geoscience Conference: on virtual field trip analysis, and a photogrammetric method for glacier monitoring. In addition, this issue features 5 original papers: on BBA for hyperspectral pushbroom scanner data, local evaluation of global models for road and building extraction, land surface temperature analysis, mixed reality for visualising underground facilities and an overview of digital twin research in city scope. In the report part some interesting reviews of conferences are given, but also links to online material from Wolfgang Förstner. Though the description in the report is in German, the material on geometric animations is in english: https://lnkd.in/eUQrqh65 Link to the issue: https://lnkd.in/e99tKubc

How do we map the bottom of the ocean? - Nick Klenske interviewed Knut Hartmann for this article by CORDIS, a platform of the European Commission. "Ask an Expert" is a new series of online articles, where CORDIS seeks answers from EU researchers to everyday questions. The articles are designed to inform non-expert users about EU-funded research work, such as our 4S project. Click on the image to read the interview!

It's been a pleasure! https://lnkd.in/dbsDF4vT #hydrospatial #seabed #mapping #monitoring #bathymetry #ocean #eoapp #horizoneurope

New Article: Modeling Out-Degree of Node in Commuter Networks: The Impact of Socioeconomic Profiles and Spatial Autocorrelation in Shaping Regional Connectivity There’s a lot of personal and professional satisfaction for me in seeing the Annals of the American Association of Geographers Special Issue on Networks (Volume 114, Issue 8) finally come out. I contributed a short research article featuring a multivariate spatial analysis of connectivity within commuter flows and then discussed how the results are both intuitive and counterintuitive to our understanding of regional patterns. One would generally expect that more ‘connected’ places cluster around other ‘connected’ places, but this is not always the case. Over the last few years, this topic has been a personal project of mine, somewhat related, but separate from what I do at work. The link to the special issue is here: https://lnkd.in/ejW3C22i And if you’d like to read my article, there should still be several more free downloads available using the following link: https://lnkd.in/eKHxcT9D

🌍 Are you a seismic researcher, technician, or student eager to be involved in the EPOS community and contribute to the EPOS Data Portal? This European Geosciences Union (EGU) 2024 splinter meeting is your chance to do it, don’t miss out! 🌊 Title: Bringing controlled source seismic data to the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) 🔍 Date: Thu, 18 Apr 🕒 Time: 16:15–18:00 (CEST) 📍 Location: Room 2.96 👥 Conveners: Henning Lorenz, Suvi Heinonen, Ramon Carbonell, Christopher Juhlin  🌱 EPOS serves as a hub for multidisciplinary research in solid Earth sciences, fostering collaboration and data accessibility across Europe. To keep this process vital and evolving, it is crucial to involve more and more members of different Earth sciences thematic community, so that the EPOS Data Portal can continue to be a high-impact tool for the whole scientific community.

Are you planning to attend the next #EGU25 conference in Vienna? If you're working with modeling water and carbon dynamics, we invite you to submit your abstract to our session! (*HS10.9: Green and Blue components of the catchment: modeling water and carbon dynamics in terrestrial and riverine environments*) Let's explore and discuss the latest advancements in understanding these processes! Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna next year! #EGU2025 #WaterDynamics #Carboncycles #Modelling

Geos of LinkedIn - I'm teaching a new class + lab that will be the 2nd class taken by Earth and Environmental Science BS majors who will have one of the following Areas of Emphasis with different upper level courses: ⚡🌋 Geoscience & Sustainable Energy (= min/strat/structure/field) 🌍 🗺 GIS Methods (= spatial analtycis/remote sensing/data analysis) 🌦💦Climate and Environment (= geomorph/hydro/climate models) What are the core competencies you think these students should gain before diversifying into these AoE's? They will have had ONE Gen.Ed. course on Earth system processes, human impacts on the environment, and sustainability. Not all will end up taking a field camp course.

Based on 'all my posted Reference and Research contents about 'Remote Viewing' on 'no less than four ( 4 ) geo-ref co-ord targets' identifying NHI locations, concludes the 'AARO report wording' of "No ExtraTerrestrials" is CORRECT; in-that, 'NonHuman Intelligence ( NHI ) within Earth' arrived long before 'Human Intelligence' ( HUMINT ) arrived on Earth' - THAT is the REAL SECRET' !

🌊 My first first-author paper is out! We assessed global ocean tide models across the European North West Shelf, featuring data from previously unreleased observation sites. The article emphasizes the need for high-resolution local models in shallow waters, introduces a new spatially averaged metric, and highlights the limitations of data assimilation.
