Absolutely thrilled to have played a role in the organization of #ucar #remotesensing initiative workshop, 2023! It was my honor to also present some of the remote sensing applied projects at @NCAR_RAL! @ncargis @NCAR_ACOM @NCAR_Science #workshop @rkumar_ncar

Honored to have our recent wildfire recovery paper featured by UCAR Communications — grateful for the recognition! 🌲🔥📰 #WildfireRecovery @UCAR_News #ScienceCommunication #remotesensing news.ucar.edu/133032/satelli…

Let me know if you’re interested in discussing or collaborating on similar topics!

Excited to share our latest study: "Assessing the Impact of Conservation Practices on Post-Wildfire Recovery of Evergreen and Conifer Forests Using Remote Sensing Data" mdpi.com/3198552 @Fire_MDPI @ncargis @NCAR_Science #WildfireRecovery #EnvironmentalMonitoring

(2/2) While my main focus remains on atmospheric remote sensing, this work reinforced my interest in cost-efficient monitoring frameworks and the broader role of Earth observation in environmental monitoring and prioritizing management practices.

(1/2) The idea was ignited during my postdoc, and I’m excited to share it with the community while looking forward to expanding on it in the future. This experience broadened my perspective on many ecological concepts.

Excited to share our recent work at #AMS2025. Enhanced Air Quality Forecast System Through Chemical Data Assimilation: A Co-Design Effort with Local Stakeholders in E&S Africa. 🗓️ Tuesday, Jan 14 ⏰ 9:45 - 10:00 AM 📍 Room 229, New Orleans @NCAR_RAL @NCAR_Science @NCAR_ACOM

Reminder: Join us at our #EGU25 session on satellite observations of tropospheric composition, pollution, model analyses & applications. 🛰️🗓️ Abstract deadline: 15 Jan 2025. Info & submission: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/…. Hope to see you there! @NCAR_ACOM @NCAR_RAL @NCAR_Science

@DrAHButler Well-deserved!

@YifanCheng4 @UBGeology @UBuffalo @SUNY Congrats!!!!! 🎉

I am thrilled to announce I will join the Department of Geology @UBGeology at @UBuffalo @SUNY as an Assistant Professor in the coming fall. I want to thank my mentors for their constant support, (1/5)

@splillo Thanks Sam!

@splillo Is there a legend for this map?

I also shared my results from a pilot project on post-wildfire recovery. Let's be in touch if you're interested in that!

The effectiveness of small conferences can't be overstated! Shout out to @uw_eap and @ncar_science for organizing an insightful conference that brought together #communities, #industry, #academia, on #Energy, #Fire, and #Changing Landscapes. @NCAR_ACOM @NCAR_RAL

Qeshm Dayrestan International Airport in Iran reported a heat index of 178°F (81°C) today. This would tie the record for highest heat index ever recorded, while the reported dew point of 97°F (36°C) would be a new world record. These are intolerable conditions for human life.

We remember Virginia Norwood ❤️ Happy Mother's Day. She designed the instrument that flew on Landsat 1 in 1972; her work revolutionized Earth observing remote sensing science, earning her the moniker "Mother of Landsat." Learn about Norwood's life here: ow.ly/sAjB50OlE4o

Another #winterstorm in #Austin! So many broken trees!!
